Well, for me it was, except I had to foot the bill:(....but I have the biggest smile on my face:D

A week or so ago, I posted asking what tools are neccesary for a career in the auto field, well, this is why I was needing more tools! Excuse the crappy pic, it was taken with a dusty camera! The box is actually spotless clean despite what the pic makes it look.

I'm stepping up from my little craftsman box to this baby! Now, some of you guys get wound up because I didn't follow your advice, I just have to say that I got such a good deal on this box, I couldn't pass it up! Also, it was already on order when I made that thread!

So, what do you guys think? I can honestly say that the quality of this thing justifies the price! I have always been pro craftsman and said they are equal to snap-on in every way, well, this box is swaying my vote on that!

Ok, just wanted to show off my new toy! I've got to finish filling it!

:D:D:D:D:Dx1000!

nice box.....but what's with such small casters on such a large box? My snapon is 2/3 the size and has twice the caster plus the springs.

Says "Classic" on the right hand side. Must be the lower cost box. Probably only 15 grand instead of 20. ;)

Nice box. It is the lower priced box but still very good quality box. I had a KRL761 2 bay that I addeda side box to make it a 3 bay and it had regular casters. I didn`t move it alot so it really didn`t matter but when I didmove it there wasn`t any issues. Last time I looked at the classic price it was around $4000. I worked with 2 guys who used one and they loved it. The only thing I don`t like is it doesn`t have the stainless corner guards but thats just looks and it`s called the classic to look like the old school snap on boxes. That box should last you a very long time. In my field you wouldn`t ever need another box but for automotive you might need a bigger one some day but not for a while.
