So I've been doing research for months now on this box, it's a 72" with 17 drawers. Everywhere I read people claimed that the box was built like a tank and felt very tough, and was the best bang for the buck. Well after so much re search and not finding anything negative to say about this box I went ahead and purchased it. Finally got it and all I have to say is Wow! Those were my first words, literally. I couldn't believe the quality and toughness of the box. I've felt other boxes like Mac, Marco, snap on and craftsman. And this box is built like a tank. Very tough and heavy drawers but very easy to slide. Very smooth coming out and smooth going in. There is one drawer that feels heavier than the others and that's because it's like a small locking drawer that has a lid with a lock on it.
I was comparing this box to the 72" from Snap-on. Snap-on wanted 10,800 for the 72" box. Extreme tools was 3497+tax and I honestly think its underpriced.

Here are some links to compare side by side. Just look at the net weight of the extreme tools box and the snap on. That says it all honestly.
One thing I'm not to happy with on the extreme tool box..... The handle is pretty ugly, but it's going to come off since the box isn't going to be moved anyway. Plus I'm going to add side cabinets in the future.

Thanks Yan, but once you get in to automotive you need a box to store all the tools. My little 30" box was full and was super stuffed. And no it's bare empty and the **** is heavy as hell.

Thanks xxrillixx, yeah love the feeling of how the drawers feel, like I said I've felt the snap-on and others and honestly not to be bias but they don't compare. After feeling this and the others, the others feel like cheap metal.

Thanks..Yeah I work at a shop, I've only been working at a shop for about 3 1/2 years and I've accumulated a good amount of tools and needed more room so I decided to go with this and I'm happy so far. And I'm also a mechanic by hobby lol.

I love the snap-on stuff, but i cant see spending 10k let alone 5-6k on something that doesnt have a drivetrain. And then most of the guys put that on their snap-on credit at 28%... crazy.

The snap on boxes are ridiculous. That's why this one for 3500 is a great buy

Can you get a hook up? I'm looking for a box too, but not as big as yours. Looking at their catalog the 41in EX standard series in black would be good.

socal gto

where would I be able to check out one of these boxes in person? I have a craftsman box that is stuffed.
