Wow what a big box you've got there!

My friends is maybe half the size of that and its the biggest pain to transport. Your going to need a tow truck to relocate that.

i work at a dealer (ford and infiniti) and i see these huge/ over priced tool boxes everyday.... why the hell do they cost soo much? i know they have the nice ball bearing and such.... as dose my craftsman box at home ($750)... just amazes me that they cost soo much money... compare that to a 2000 s4.... so much more time and effort go into the s4 while the tool box is simply a big metal box with ball bearings.... and both cost are the same! -who wants to start making tool boxes with me? obviously that's where the money is

i dunno, i guess its a thing amongst mechanics. i guess its our "war chest".at the risk of sounding like a ego mainiac, which most of you guys know i am far from its likeshowing you are the best and youwork with the best.

it takes longer to build that box than audi takes to build a s4. audi builds it in a day snap on takes 2 months. plus this box will out last a audi.

really, any of those problems ever require you pulling a head off a car, or replacing a spun rod bearing, replacing a clutch. if so your bag is bigger than my tool box, maybe changing a steering rack.
