Default stainless steel tool box from sam's club

Has anyone seen or have the stainless steel tool box from sam's club? It is made by some off brand, steel tek i think, but I was pretty impressed with it. I was thinking of picking one up, the price is $650 and is bigger than I need, but it seems to be a lot better than anything I could buy at sears for that price. Any opinions from anyone who has seen it or has one?

Sounds like the same one at Costco.
Seemed like a decent box.
I have MAC and Snap-On boxes now.
It compared favorably, especially for the price.

Also check out Harbor Freight, if you have one around. They also have a decent box for around $450 or $650 with side cabinet.

My dad has that box. It is made well and the drawer slides seem to be OK. They have a little more friction than my Craftsman ball bearing ones, and they move side to side more. The one complaint I have about the design of the box is that most of the drawers are too short to fit a variety of things. The drawers look taller than they really are. Putting an air drill or torque wrench box in them would probably rub a little or interfere enough so that they wouldn't shut.

There are two versions of that tool box..
The good one and the cheap one..

The good one is made by Hammerhead and the cheap one is not..

I went to Costco by me (NJ) about a year ago when I heard about them being sold for $650.. When I got there it wasn't the hammerhead box.. I don't remember what the other brand was but it's junk..
