      wish i would have bought the used one on the matco truck a few months ago. dont think the guy ever used it wanted 5200 and was gonna give me 3500 or something for mine.

                No not like to use as a workbench but to house the laptop and radio/ paperwork. Cant justify beating on.5k boxes

                    need a decent sized tool box

                    My box is my mobile work bench. I made a 10 gage stainless top for it. When it starts looking bad a little laquer thinner and a scotchbrite pad and it looks great again.

                        Just got this bad boy a week or two ago:


                        I've had this cart for just about a year now and it's a good little cart. Can hold a surprising amount of weight. It isn't in fantastic shape, but it gets the job done. I think I paid a hundred fifty bucks for it
                        I know it can hold up three piece driveshafts on large trucks, steering knuckles on Ford twin I-Beam suspensions, I've balanced a truck tire on it once or twice too. The little fold out work area is nice too, but isn't nearly as sturdy as the rest of it. Only good for setting wrenches/papers/hand tools on.



                        I would recommend a snapon box ... but honestly, why wouldn't I? Its the best, really. Expensive though ... paid more for my box than my pickup truck ...

                              I actually get that discount through my school too, but its a long awkward story how I ended up with this box off the tool truck.. anyways, I just saved a ton by ordering myself a 2K snapon tool kit with my discount. Gotta love it
