ah, this thread is awesome.
However, I believe there is actually alread an official MM toolbox. Mikey had a little old yellow one, that he passed on to me when he had too many tools. I obviously outgrew it pretty quickly (stupid projects = big budget for tools) and have since passed it along to Thayer.
I think the rule goes that if you acquire this toolbox, you are doomed to buy a lot of shit and tools for your car within the next year :-D. Beware!

Speaking of, I need to buy one soon... All my tools are cramped into a little portable toolbox and I know I lost a whole lot of them
How much did that setup cost you if you dont mind me asking, and is it ball bearing?
Doubt I'd need the middle section though
- Jeff - 09-06-2005
That is not ball bearing, however I will be getting a 5 drawer ball bearing center next summer. It works fine without the bearings and at half the price. All that, with some sneaky use of multiple discounts by me, $400. They left the "free center section" sign out after posting the sale price.
I have a Crafteman 3-dr toolbox for sale if anyone needs it.

omg you're right! i almost forgot about that one! i can't even fathom how small it is because the one that i replaced it with (was 3x bigger i think) is already small in my eyes and rarely sees use.

speaking of tools... just being back in the presence of MM made me crawl into sears today and purchase:

If you have a car that only has metric fastners then dont bother with any of the sears kits except this one:

Its a bit more expensive, but has much more useful tools in it, and it doesnt have a crapload of SAE sockets and wrenches that you'll put in a pile and never use.
Hopefully 'santa' will bring me a nice big toolbox that I can park in the garage for christmas
By then I'll have a work bench and better lighting.... all I'll need is air tools then Project OddJobÔäó can begin
- Jeff - 09-06-2005
Mine is prettymuch full of craftsman tools. I have a bit of snapon and MAC as well. The Snapon stuff is boss but so expensive.

I should probably consult you before any automotive purchases :lol:
I asked them about metric only sets, but of course I was at the "H-Burg Sears" which has about 3 wrenches and 2 vacuums... ah well it fit my price for now.

You have to mail order that one

Will non-ball bearing drawers "go bad"?
I have some POS old Craftsmang tool box I got from a friend and the drawers are shot to hell, not smooth at all...
ps. anyone seen the boxes at Costco/Sam's? Those are some bling ass boxes!
- Evan - 09-06-2005
yeah im not buying any more big sets. Ive lost so many tools that I just replace them by sockets or wrenches
