I spent about an hour on the phone today trying to get info on Beach tool boxes. I called Ackland Grainger first. Their website lists a side box but you cant enlarge the picture to see the details. Plus they dont ship to the US. The guy gave me the number for Stanley Canada. I called them but the woman in customer service didnt really know anything about the line of tool boxes. She was nice enough to provide me with the phone number for the Smith Falls factory where they are produced. The woman there was very helpful ! She told me that the style side box that I have from Husky was discontinued in the beginning of last year (bad for me). There was a similar box that was made by Mac with ball bearing drawers that looked just like my Husky box but that was discontinued around the same time (also bad for me). The Beach side box is the same size but has 7 ball bearing drawers instead of the 6 regular slide drawers that the Husky box has. This sounds like it might be the way to go. The woman told me that Mac, Beach, the older Husky (a year ago) and Proto are all the same color red. Is there anyone out there that can clarify that for me ? I might just buy two matching side boxes from Beach. This way they both look the same and I gain more drawers. I got the name of a dealer, Windsor Factory Supply thats willing to ship to NY because they have a warehouse in Detroit. The other thing that I thought of is get a price from the Mac tool truck for a side box. It might be the same price as the Beach boxes after shipping. Do any of you guys in Canada have Beach tool boxes ?? Are they well built ? This would be so much easier if I wasnt so picky about the way my boxes looked !
