I got most of the giant toolbox home. The tall side locker is at a friend’s shop because I don’t have room for it yet.

Getting the box into the garage and up over the lip took a bunch of pushing and sweating, and also 2 floor jacks. Tomorrow night, moving all my tools into this monster.

I am supremely jealous. I was in my garage about half an hour ago thinking “I really need a tool box” since the cardboard box full of sets of wrenches, ratchets, etc is getting old.

Wow, well done! Local Craigslist boxes were either more than I could afford, or suspiciously-acquired-new-in-box Craftsman, so I went with a Costco box that’s meh.

Yours, however, looks awesome! I’m jealous.

This wasn’t cheap, but a lot less than off the back of the truck.

If I ever need to, I can probably sell it for what I paid for it as long as I keep it in good shape.

I actually dig the hell out of that color. Nice box.

Wow - now your only problem - it’s making the rest of your garage look bad. Or maybe that’s not a problem and we should be jealous of both.

Nice. Quality is forever. I bought my boxes 20+ years ago. (Huot and Waterloo) Every time I open a drawer I am re-assured that I made a good decision.

I’ve been eyeing boxes and considering pulling the trigger off and on for the last few years. A good box for a good price came up on the local list of craig so I finally sprung for it.

Here are my two. Now I’m feeling bad they’re not even color matched.

Kinja'd!!!

And no, I don’t think they’re the quality of yours and desertdogs. They’re getting the job done though. I should count my blessings since unlike some Oppos, I have toolboxes.

Makes good sense to me; if I wasn’t in kind of a hurry I would rather have gone with a great used one like yours.

And I for one think it’s kind of cool that it’s teal.

Teal is such an odd colour for a tool box

did the previous owner have a car in same colour maybe?

Unknown. The previous owner was a bus mechanic.

I say it to For Sweden all the time and don’t get slapped. Maybe you did it when he was awake?
