What's Your Favorite Tool Box Colour

[Canadian Charlie]

Ok I know everyone here has some sort of tool storage system, wheather small of huge, but whats our favorite colour in boxes?

My boxes are all red but if I had to do it all over agian I'd go for that "Electric Orange" option

 

[-lecroix-]

brushed stainless steel

 

[kyoung]

The midnight blue from Craftsman look's pretty cool.

 

[mulepackin]

Being a traditionalist, I gotta go with RED!

 

[Vincent Vega]

Craftsman Red. I wish they sold this color in premixed in oil based enamel.

 

[george4]

Red with dents for accents.

 

[wilbilt]

Red with dents for accents.

Exactly what I was thinking!

 

[PAToyota]

I'm going for Hammerite grey in the metal/automotive shop and Hammerite bronze in the woodshop!

 

[ImportTuner]

I like the black boxes ....

 

[Uncle Buck]

I like RED, RED, RED!

 

[the dude]

I like the black boxes ....

X2 once you go black, you don't go back

 

[bmwpower]

I'd better like blue...

If I had still needed a toolbox when that big PINK Snap-On job was on Ebay, I might have bought it. Just for sheer orneriness. Besides, who would steal a PINK toolchest? Consider this: it takes quite a man to have a PINK toolbox; would you mess with him?

Of course I'd put some 'FN HERSTAL', 'S&W', and 'RUGER' decals on it along with the Summit Racing and Snap-On stickers...

I own all red boxes, but I also like the Snap-on Orange, it comes from the last shop I was in everyone color coordinated our tools (each had a certain color, so there was no 'thats mine' going on) and I got all orange handled stuff.

 

[cc_rider]

Yeah, that's sort of where the 'pink' thing comes in too. When I was doing Habitat for Humanity, all the regulars had their own tool color just like that. But all the normal colors were already taken, so I used that day-glo pink stuff. Nobody messes with a bright pink FatMax framing hammer. Plus I can tell the girls I have a big pink hammer, and mean it for once!

I have black and I would not get black again. It shows every finger print and all the dust all the time. I will admit, just like a black car nothing looks as nice when it's clean, but that only lasts around here for a few microseconds

I like black & red - I have some of each. I prefer black - but they do so greassy fingerprints and if you are a body man or work in a place that gets dusty - they look terrible.

 

[l_bilyk]

Black or blue

Stainless steel is the same way - possibly more so. Part of the reason I started looking at Hammerite.

 

[hguerrero]

I like rust!

 

[rocco]

brushed stainless steel

that and or red.

 

[ba614]

if I bought new boxes I would get GREEN! ... 'cause that's the color of money ... and I'm either makin' money - savin' money - or putin' money in those boxes ... so far I don't have any green boxes ... mine were bought before you could get 'um in green

 

[sjsfire]

I have Craftsman red.

 

[duct tape]

Black, covered w/ stickers - STP, Crane Cams, ******, etc.

 

[Deafautotech]

i like black color but i prefer which cheap price to buy toolbox.... which cheap price for toolbox i can paid full once. i paid my black used snap on KRL1001 for 3,500 dollars and paid 1200.oo for snap on chest red KR1200.

my tech friend had order the his favorite football team of Michigan (yellow and Blue) from Matco tools. it take him to wait for almost 6 months to have everything come what he want to own... Four bay toolbox and full wide Hutch. (matco tools did have toolbox with free Hutch include...

 

[kartracer55]

.......Black

 

[KeukaDan]

My next set will likely be green, although I like the dark blue and the black that I already have a lot. Red is classic but a bit to common for me.

 

[wilbilt]

I have a MICHIGAN jacket somewhere, but I still vote RED!

Eh.... I live about 30 min away from the "big house" in Ann Arbor and I'd still pick red....

 

[wilbilt]

So RED it is.

 

[healing]

Yeah HF Red!!!

 

[wythors]

Being a Ford guy, I had to go with blue.

 

[KingPerformance]

Teal ... what can I say, I like the look of the 50's.

 

[Vincent Vega]

Badger Red!

 

[Canadian Charlie]

I'm the only guy who likes "Electric Orange"?

 

[ImportTuner]

I don't think I've ever seen a electric orange color box ...

 

[RAYJAY]

either purple or yellow here

 

[wantedabiggergarage]

Black or blue

Black and blue? Your shop must look pretty battered!

At home, they are mostly red, as that is the most common color I can find a deal on (I like my green).
At the shop I have a blue Craftman, that they had mismarked and sold me for $65. (wish I had bought a dozen).
If I had a choice (I do on one I am refinishing) and since I live in both a high theft area, and want it to stand out from others (not a common color around here) I would go Yellow, like my cart. (easier to spot a small greasy washer, etc on).

Still, my favorite choice, is BARGIN
