Re: Tool Box
I guess it's just you, I just showed the picture as a suggestion. I have a craftsman metal 3 drawer box. It never comes out of the truck though, too heavy.

Re: Tool Box
I've had my XL for a years and love it. These bags carry a 5 year warranty. Just call them if you have a problem and they send a new one along with a return shipping label for your old bag.

Re: Tool Box
Leo, looks like you can really get alot of stuff in that box. I was looking at one of those a few months ago but it seemed kinda tricky to open and wasn't sure how well it would hold up to everyday abuse. How long have you had yours and how well has it held up? Thanks

Re: Tool BoxQuote:
I have only had it for a short while so time will tell. I used it on only one job so far. Saved me so much time. I only had to go out to the truck once to get a flat screwdriver that was in the truck. Other than that I had everything. It went up the stairs easily and I was a little worried while bringing it down because all the weight ends on the handle. But it should be the same going up or down. I have a good amount of tooling in it, it must weigh about 65-75lbs. Tough to lift it into the truck, but easy as pie to roll it around. Before I bought it I had a job that I must of wasted 25 minutes going back and forth to the truck. At my rate that is about $25. So every time I use it on a job I figure I wills save about that much time/dollars. So it will pay for itself in 3-4 installs. Get it. I don't think you will be sorry.

Re: Tool Box
Thanks Leo, I will pick one up. I have been looking for something to keep the most used tools organized. I did a remodel about 2 months ago and we had the tools in the trailer and wasted tons of time everyday bringing in tools and then had a mess and took everything out at the end of the day. That is when I started looking for something to keep an extra set of common everyday use tools(screw drivers, drill bits, hammer, pliers, a cordless). I can pick everything up at the end of the day and stick the whole thing in a corner for the next day. Or if I have a small job just grab this and go. I looked at the veto bags but for some reason I'm not a fan of bags. Thanks again Leo

Re: Tool Box
It'll pay for itself just by saving on walking time. Hope it works for you.

Re: Tool Box
I just got one of those like Leo has and it's pretty good.
I set it up for deck and rail installs and I couldn't fill it all the way up. I have a full size router, circ saw, impact driver, drill, plus other crap. I just added two TC-G guns to it today too.

Re: Tool BoxQuote:
![]() ![]() But I sure as hell didn't pay that much for them! I believe they were $29 or so at HD last year. Attached is my preferred toolbox, which is on wheels. |

Re: Tool Box
I don't think you have the same model of toolbox. I could never see this thing going for $30. Maybe $65

Re: Tool Box
any good toolbox needs a lock to keep the thiefs at a distance.

Re: Tool BoxQuote:
I have the FatMax Model 028001L. I can not post the link as i do have enough posts under my belt here yet, but if you go to home depot's site and put that item # in the search, you will see the same 28in box I was referring to. I see it's still just $29.99, too- which IMO is a GREAT price for box this heavy duty. Not only is it quite strong, it's waterproof, too (I've tested it) |

Re: Tool Box
FarView,
Like you setup with the microwave and fridge. I have seen a few guys with the microwave setup but never a fridge. Great idea especially after a long hot day. Would have to put a lock on it by me or drinks would start to disappear quick. Especially if there was beer in there. Only thing it does come with wheels but how does it handle stairs

Re: Tool Box
Try the Excel Safety Chests or Jobox Heavy-Duty Chest Tool Box.
