Damn that's pretty cheap
OTC makes quite a few different sets of stuff
I've got my eye on them for sure
And really I never hope to have a snapon tool or Mac unless they are the only ones who carry it
I've seen many people get frustrated about how the truck guy treats them
One guy bought a box on payments and ended up being charged 5500 for a 2200 box and the guy wouldn't change the payment plan
So he have the box back and went to sears lol

I am pretty lucky then both my Snap on and Mac dealers are awesome to deal with. I am never given any grief about a tool warranty. My Snap on dealer not only tells me that his tools are better but will also show why his tools are better. I just bought a set of forged snap ring pliers and I must admit they are far superior to the stamped ones I was replacing. Then he told me that if I was to wait until the next week they were going to have a kit of the most popular sizes on sale.

Just a general warning about ALL tall boxes. Never open all or a lot of drawers at same time. I remember a mechanic down the street from me getting a broken leg from his box falling over on him.

I got this for Christmas a couple years ago. It's nothing fancy, but it has held up really well so far. My dad has a limited edition Davey Allison Mac box that's pretty cool.

Looks good. Being in the kitchen reminds me of a few years ago, a buddy of mine was joking about removing all his lower cabinets in his kitchen, and installing tool boxes in there place with a stainless counter top.
