Would you buy this box?

[aussiek2000]

I am in need of a tool box since I don't currently own own and all my tools are piling up. My roommate has one for sale that he bought, but has since went to a bigger box. It is a 40" T&E 11-drawer. I do not have a model number. He is asking $400. I would be using this box in a professional environment. In you opinion, is it worth buying?

I'd buy it for $400, but $350 sounds better

can you comment on the action of the drawer slides? i don't know the brand, but it looks like decent quality. the casters look cheap. looks like a similar layout to the HF 44" box except the bottom row of drawers is double height on that one. assuming its better quality than the HF (which is assuming a lot), i would have to want that drawer layout more than the HF; same price, new vs used...

ahm

Drawer slides are comparable to those on a bigger Kobalt box.

if comparable to a current kobialt, the hf is a better made box. i've got one one of the 44" HF units and am planning on adding another soon. for the same money, i'd take the new HF with more drawers (13 vs 11).

ahm

I would get the menards masterforce box, or at least tell him you are looking at one so he drops the price

It seems alittle high to me

actually I'm pretty sure that's what it is. The handles look identical to mine, and the drawer layout is the same. I could be wrong, but it probably came out of the same factory just with a different name. The prybar rack looks like a Sunex one.

i looked at their website.
the box looks to be a te4111rc 41"w X19"d
if the quality is comparable to a kobalt, it's definitely not worth the suggested list of $1495.

i'd spend my $400 elsewhere.
just my $0.02

i'd buy a hf box,

and i'm kinda a toolbox 'snob"
