I just want to add that I was recently in the market for a bigger box or cabinet and tired of smaller boxes and tool bags.

After doing a lot of pricing, visiting stores and doing hands-on inspections and reading online reviews, I settled on and bought that same 13 drawer 44" cabinet from Harbor Freight. Its NICE. Its HEAVY. Its well made and expandable.

Price was $389 and I managed to get an additional 20% off along with the other assortment of basic tools I was picking up. Admittedly, some of their stuff is crap but some of it can be good and this box is good. I actually have their TIG and MIG welders as well as their higher priced plastic welder and used the chit out of them all the time and never have had any issues.

But anyone looking for a nice cabinet, go check out that one from HF.

Since my new beemer is all torx head I bought myself a set of torx keys to work on what I need to instead of risking it with my allen heads.

And that if he'd write a letter of condolance he would at least spell your name right.

My co-worker picked up a craftsman top and bottom box like the US general for SUUUUPER cheap during Christmas.  I'll be keeping an eye out there if I need a new box .
