I have two tool boxes with Craftsman tools bought years ago, American Made.

Two tool boxes made by Snap-on with Snap-on tools.
I used to have a Snap-on Truck Driver friend that always gave me a really good discount.

8 Harbor Freight tool boxes (6 are the add on chests to the side of the two large commercial 44" Roller Cabinets.)

I bought those years ago and have been very happy with them, considering they are offshore made.
The Roller Cabinets have matching 44" Top Chests.

I have so many chests/cabinets because I have a workshop in a "Out Building) I built,
Mostly Welding stuff and Lawn Mower maint tasks.

A workshop for doing Car mechanic work in my garage.

And a Work Shop in my basement for my Holley Carbs builds.

Too much trouble going back and forth in and out of the house or garage for tasks.

You only really need tools for what you are working on but I like limiting "my steps"
and not wasting time.

That will all change once my Morton barn gets put up. Everything will be done in one location.
So two of the three brands I own are American Made but I have owned all three types for at least 20 years.

Tool Boxes are CHEAP vs constantly wasting valuable time. Time is everything.
