I thought I would share some garage tech and maybe give you some ideas. For years now I have been working out of a Craftsman 26” 5 drawer toolbox. Over the years I have collect a good amount of tools and it was time to purchase something that would meet my needs and be able to last forever. So I started looking. Never been a huge fan of the double or triple stack tool boxes and I didn’t want to spend 10k on a Snap On or Matco. We recently turned our pole barn into a garage/shop so I was losing my work bench too, well didn't want to bring it over to the new shop. So Another requirement was that the toolbox needed to double as a workbench. To get more information I joined garagejournal.com. That’s where I found the perfect setup.

After seeing this build I knew exactly what I wanted. The only thing I didn’t like is it wasn’t moveable. I was a little skeptical about the HF tool boxes but after reading this review (http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/s...toolbox+review), I was sold. This review covers in detail how the HF box matches up to your local hardware store boxes even some craftsman boxes.
