    All my hand tools are Craftsman, the older stuff USA made, MAC, Snap-on, Matco and TRW. I do have some Kline, Proto and Williams tools from the old days, Still working fine.

    totally nuts! If I were doing it over again getting into the trade, I would buy the 72" US General box and grow into that, then buy the top when needed. Though, I didnt stay in it long enough to need much of a box.

    I'm probably going to buy one of the 72" bottom boxes so I can have a mix of auto, bicycle, and home tools in the same container.

    I’m glad My Dad and I still own Porta Cable power tools some for well over 20 years and they still perform great.
    A much different company back then, they made quality tools.
