[Shop-talk] tool chest recommendations?

[Arvid Jedlicka]

When I was looking several years ago Sams and Costco had the 41 inch 
stainless units from here - http://www.cspsmetal.com/toolchests/index.html - 
for around $700. I bought two of them and have been very pleased with them. 
I have not seen them in either of the stores that I shop in the Minneapolis 
area in the last year but they may be available in other locations. The 
vendor still has them listed on their web site - which use to have a "where 
to get them" tab, I don't see it now. Too bad because I'd really like to get 
a third one.

The drawer slides are much better than the cheap toolboxes from Sears or 
Harbor Freight. The sheetmetal work on one is B+ and the other is B-, but 
neither has any structurial issues that I am aware of, and at $700 each, the 
quality and square inches of drawer space for the price was A+.
