Mutliple size drawers can handle just about any tool you want to store, and the roller bearings are built for full drawer extention so you never go finger searching for lost tools that rolled to the back of the drawer that you can\\\'t reach, (as I did with my old Craftsman). \\r\\nI paid $699.00 for it, and it was about $60.00 more than the slightly smaller sized Craftsman on sale, but with the Stainless Steel, heavier duty casters and the rubber drawer bottoms included, I think I did quite well. \\r\\nHad the thing since early spring, use it extensively, and can\\\'t complain at all. OH - and when friends see it\\\'s Stainless Steel, with full extention drawers, they think I paid thousands for it. \\r\\nGood luck with your choice.\' |
\r\n\r\nI have the same Costco box. I used it for two years while working as a full time mechanic. Very sturdy and a great value. I\'ve started to out grow it and I\'m looking to buy another to match. Your other option is to search craigslist. Used Snap-on boxes show up every once in a while. Or get in touch with your local Snap on dealer. Some times they have used boxes that they received in trade. I\'m not a big fan of Craftsman. \r\n\r\nPete'
