Tool box - Yachts - 06-06-2014

Kind of excited, my old stacker trailer had built in drawers and a work area. The new one doesn't have those nicer amenities and in the 2 months I had the other stacker I had manged to use al of the storage. Well tonight I bought my first big boy tool box. Put it in the stacker and fastened it to the wall. It has some really nice casters so I can roll it out or in. I bought it second hand but looks pretty cool. Even has it's own stereo. So anyway here is a pic.. Now I need to filler up Smile

What are you going to keep in there? Cigars? Party favors?

Just messing with ya. Come to enough Newell rallies and we'll turn a finance wiz into a gearhead yet.

Nice tool box, but if you do fill it with tools, you'll need your RZR to roll it around. Tools are HEAVY.

Newell told me not to carry tools that they are so good I will not ever need them and you do not want the extra weight. Why would you tow a stacker and put tolls in it? Perhaps to fix the toys. Lol

I still say best tool kit to carry is broadband internet connection to look up local services & a cell phone to call them on! But it is a great looking tool box!

Maybe a little cash also. Always come in handy.

having tools really has nothing to do with using them. it is the point that you have everything you might need...and WANT.....just in case.....and just cause.....

Guys if I told you the story behind the box I think you all will laugh, so here it . I don't think I used own enough tools to fill one drawer but In the last year I had accumulated a few. A bucket full here a ratchet set there.. So I have been looking for a nice box. My local mechanic had an older snap on roll around and he wanted to give me 1500$ and the box for a trailer I have we used to pull the cars on. Well 2 night s ago I saw a box on craigslist with lights, electric power strip, and a stereo asking 1000$. I showed my cousin who is a store manger at lowes and he said it was Kobalt, the largest box they sell and It sells for almost 2000. He had me come to his store and it has the ball bearing drawers and everything. I call the lady up who posted it on craigslist, her husband had bought it in January and recently passed away and just wanted it gone so she didn't have to move it when she moved back to Nebraska next week. I offered 600 she took it. So last night I went and got it. She lives on a little bitty county road in central ark. I took the coach because I had nothing that would pull the stacker except the coach. Went picked it up and brought it home.

This morning I'm unloading the storage bays and loading up the tool box when I realized I couldn't remove the key from the lock in the tool box after I locked it. So I went down to lowes and told them of my issue. The manger there , a different store than my cousins ,told me they will just have to replace the whole box for me. So he ordered me a NEW box and told me it should be in this week and when it does we will just swap them out.. So I kinda feel like I scored big..

Anyway that's the story. A new 2k box for 600 and no sales tax..

Now if it would have been full of tools......
Great price and great story! And it will weigh a ton when you do fill it up.
