Got me a new tool box! Got this as a birthday present this weekend. It's a Ball Bearing Craftsman setup. I really needed something, eventhough I can't fill it up yet, because I had tools scattered everywhere. Hopefully I'll stay a bit more organized with this setup. I just gotta get some labels for this thing so I don't have to search through 5 drawers to find what I'm looking for, LOL.
The base is the 18" deep and the intermediate and top pieces are 16".

Re: Got me a new tool box! Do yourself a favor and get some of those foam liners that go inside. Craftsman makes the regular ones and the non-slip ones. They work great at keeping the tools organized and not slipping around inside when you open a drawer. At the end of a job, I can open a drawer and immediately see if I've left any tools out.
The non-slip inserts work great. Pricey, but you only have to buy them once.

Re: Got me a new tool box! Yeah, I need to get the liners for it soon. I've thought about getting the foam that you cut out and the tools fit down it but I'm not sure that it would be worth all of the trouble to do it.
Re: Got me a new tool box! I didnt care for the cut out foam but sears sells foam sloted dividers that are adhesive and they are the best for wrenchs imho. The non-slip pads are also non optinal. Nice box have fun filling it up.
Re: Got me a new tool box! Are you guys with the stacked setups able to see into the too drawer while standing next to it. It seems to me the preference would be a long short chest. Anyone????

Re: Got me a new tool box! I'm 5-11 and I can barely see into the top of my stacked craftsman. I wouldn't go much taller on a box for that reason. Wider is better if you have the space.

Re: Got me a new tool box! That's the same exact setup I have, good boxes.
About the non-slip stuff....Pepboys carries a form of this stuff, it comes in roles and you cut it to fit. It's MUCh cheaper than the stuff you get at Sears or Home Deport, and does the job. I bought about 3 rolls and it did all 3 of my boxes.
