I've decided that I will definitely be buying one of these, now I just gotta decide on a color.

Would you do red blue or black ?
I'm definitely not buying the white one, and while red is generally my least favorite color I kind of love it for toolboxes.

I'll probably go red, but the blue sure is nice looking.

So many tool boxes are red. I'd go for a blue one.

I helped my apprentice redo a Craftsman box, and he decided on blue. I was originally against the idea but it turned out so nice I might do a blue one for myself.

That is nice.

I just discovered they offer it in a nice " military green " that just may be what I go with, it looks really nice.
I'll think on it a few hours before I order it later today.

Camo would be cool too!

It would but I'm a bit anal when it comes to Camo and it has to be proper US " m81 "  woodland or nothing.
I'd probably just paint an old school US ARMY Star on it.

I can't believe I just payed $96.51 shipped for this little toolbox  :-\ :-\

And it ships free economy shipping from DHL or FedEx,  so I better just tell you guys I went with the military green one instead of making you guys wait for my pictures like I was gonna do.
I can't have you guys holding your breath for 6 months  :))

It just shipped.
Now I'm trying not to get too worked up with excitement so I don't build it up too much in my head.

It took 'em 4 days to ship it, and only 2 to get from Japan to my general vicinity  :-\
Wow, and it shipped FedEx during all the shipping craziness too  :bravo_2:
I expected it to take up to a month to get here,  that's the delivery window I was given   :08:

It's scheduled for Tuesday because Monday is MLK day.

And I got free shipping too, I honestly expected to be waiting a month or something.
Hopefully you're not paying those hateful bastards for the premium membership or whatever they call it?

When I ordered I forgot to use my home address and I knew it would have to transfer to USPS for delivery.
Well I just got a call from FEDEX ( I just dawned on me that had my phone number somehow) asking for a home address because they don't deliver to PO boxes  :smiley_confused1:
I suppose that means I should have it a little sooner hopefully , if it had to route to USPS that would definitely add a couple days while it's transferred and cataloged ...ect even though it's sitting about 35-40 miles from my door.

I just got the box and it's amazing, make no mistake this toolbox is no toy.

I'm amazed at the efficiency of this little box.
My 17" barn roof box was maxed out and I thought I was going to have to exclude some things, I fit everything and then some in here plus I still have room for a basic set of metric wrenches.


It's sad to think that most people in the US who would buy this awesome little tool box are trendy hipster types that are only going to put a couple of kitchen junk drawer tools in it.

I've always like that song and he did a good cover of it. I've listened to a few more of his songs too. very unique sound. I like it.
