I don't think so, not by a long shot. You don't have to learn Spanish to come here but it sure as hell helps in the US.

Soon Mexico will just become Part of the US so they can get cheap labor back and wont have to export. I am really shocked English is still the first language in schools over there still.

This whole thread disappoints me.

I was expecting more PICs of the long legged lady doing the stress test on the pulled out drawer.

I don't know why people pay so much for snap-on boxes. I bought four 30"x27"x60" used Vidmar cabinets for $400 each. So for $1600 I got 47 drawers full of dividers I can arrange however I want, each capable of 400 lbs per drawer, with a total of 238 sq. ft of storage! For the same $1600 I could have gotten an "ok" Snap-on box, but I'd still need at least 3-4 more to house all of my tools.

I'm curious, where's a good place to get Vidmars?

I see them on craigslist every now and then, but I got mine off ebay from a guy who bought 30 from a machine shop closing. They didn't look pretty at first. It took some elbow grease to clean the years of grinding dust off them and flush out the bearings and pack with new grease. Underneath the grime however they were in perfect shape. These cabinets will last me the rest of my life.
