Tool box
#8

Guys if I told you the story behind the box I think you all will laugh, so here it . I don't think I used own enough tools to fill one drawer but In the last year I had accumulated a few. A bucket full here a ratchet set there.. So I have been looking for a nice box. My local mechanic had an older snap on roll around and he wanted to give me 1500$ and the box for a trailer I have we used to pull the cars on. Well 2 night s ago I saw a box on craigslist with lights, electric power strip, and a stereo asking 1000$. I showed my cousin who is a store manger at lowes and he said it was Kobalt, the largest box they sell and It sells for almost 2000. He had me come to his store and it has the ball bearing drawers and everything. I call the lady up who posted it on craigslist, her husband had bought it in January and recently passed away and just wanted it gone so she didn't have to move it when she moved back to Nebraska next week. I offered 600 she took it. So last night I went and got it. She lives on a little bitty county road in central ark. I took the coach because I had nothing that would pull the stacker except the coach. Went picked it up and brought it home.

This morning I'm unloading the storage bays and loading up the tool box when I realized I couldn't remove the key from the lock in the tool box after I locked it. So I went down to lowes and told them of my issue. The manger there , a different store than my cousins ,told me they will just have to replace the whole box for me. So he ordered me a NEW box and told me it should be in this week and when it does we will just swap them out.. So I kinda feel like I scored big..

Anyway that's the story. A new 2k box for 600 and no sales tax..
