I'm looking at getting a tool box/chest. Looking to spend ~$2000 and I want to be able to put most of my tools in it (not that I have that much) and have room for future tool purchases.

I found these two, any other recommendations?

From my experience, Kobalt is crap.

Personally I would look used on CL. I see tons of Snap On rolling tool boxes for pretty cheap.

 

Haven't found one yet on CL that is the right size or price

 

Try a city or two over. Also, hit CL up towards the end of the month. Fools are trying to make rent and you can low ball :rick:

 

I did a search for the whole SF bayarea :hs:

 

Not into the Craftsman? I love their setups and very sturdy.

 

How big of a box are you looking for? This is what I have and it works for my purposes.

 

We pieced them off HF for fairly cheap.
This one is a good base with bearing drawers and is an older Snapon design they bought when it retired, used them in the shop daily with no issues

You should be able to piece a good one for around 1100 that will more than serve your needs.

 

CL MAC toolbox FTW. I have a Snap-ON that I like alot also. I don't find that anything you can buy at lowes/HD/even Sears Pro are worth the money for the quality. The draws don't hold good amounts of weight without messing up the slides. I mean they might be ok for home mechanic stuff I don't know what you have to put in the box.

 

A TON of guys on garagejournal swear by this cabinet. I was considering picking it up as well. Plus you can add the 20% coupon to bring the price really low.
