Here are a few shots of my boxes, I am not gonna get into the drawers they are not nearly as neat as some on here but can handle just as big of jobs I am sure about time for some more space. As a kid I always wondered how guys got all the cool stickers on there setups now I have realized just how much money they had to spend in order to get them all. The little box is what I drag around from job to job with me for work I have some of its setup strung out right now looks a little light.

It was on sale the weekend after Thanksgiving... I think she got it for around $1500 minus the tax. It also has a built in power strip, L.E.D. lights, and an ipod hook up... I don't have an ipod though. Unnecessary as hell but I love it

99% of people dont just buy all this stuff at once it takes years..... I have been working on mine for 7 years......... And if you use it for work it takes a little more of a front seat...

Tools and boxes are expensive, but if you look around you can get used snapon, matco, etc. for a little more than craftsman. The quality comparison between snapon and the others is 1000 times better than craftsman, kobalt, huskey and all of those.

I dont have a picture of just my toolbox, but you can see it in this picture.
