More or less boils down to if the slides are any good and if they can be replaced if needed. Other than that a toolbox is a toolbox with some exceptions.

Dave if you need a good roller box this one from harber frieght is great for the money

I'm looking for something larger to use as a head assembly / misc work station.

The 75" x 24" deep seems like it'd make a nice sized work area.

checking this one out too.

The first ones are made in Canada so they must be good eh! I've never heard of either but they both look nice Dave. Why don't you buy one and i'll try it out for you till you move back.

no shit! the box holds the tools,thats all it does.i have some of all brand name tools but still use the sears box.lol

How much it will be used, what it will be used for will dictate what you buy as well as what you can afford. I started out in 1987 working in the local Chevy garage with a carry tool box and western auto wizard tools. Then got in debt with a waste of money snap on dealer! I have owned Remline, Craftsman, Kennedy snap on , Waterloo, Mac, Matco and Cornwell. With that said if you use it a lot your higher priced tool boxes that have thicker drawers, better drawer slides , parts replacement and locks. Also we have used Blue point, Napa and Black Hawk tool boxes at our School. The Napa and Blue Point boxes are made in china and are the same box. We are presently using the Black Hawk tool boxes.

If used a lot with the cheaper boxes the drawers start sagging and the slides get worn out wither it be a slide type or roller type no matter the brand ! They all have boxes and tools made in china these days so make sure it has made in the USA before you lay down the big bucks.

X2....if the drawer slides are the right stuff the name on the box will not matter.

You can sometimes find some smokin deals on used boxes from the Snap On and Mac dealers if you ask them. Just make sure they aren't all used up already. I have a lot of Snap On tools, and very few were bought new.

A repo'ed Snap-on or Mac tool box gotta be the best

The new one I bought to replace the Snap On I couldn't get a drawer slide for is a Mac...............the one in the trailer is a repo'd Snap On...........

coworker has the montazuma box you are looking at , very nice box , construction is good , freakin huge box .

Montezuma makes some great toolboxes too. They are built just south of me in KS. The top review says that the paint on the top of the box was susceptable to chem damage and to make sure and get the SS top.

I just Picked up the 72" Montezuma 15 Drawer Job........... Damn thats a big box for $2400 !!!
