A desirable box for sure and pretty hard to find.

Not impossible to find here, they show up every once in awhile. 

Now Plomb toolmobiles are another story.

Sweet box, but to me that is $200 at best. Rare or not it is just another old friction slide box.

Still cool and enviable to be sure.

Yeah I think the guys just fishing for a bite at that price.

Less than $100 in my opinion, that box has seen some abuse for sure.

Very true for sure. I know I would never seriously consider purchase  north of $100

My very first tool box was it's smaller brother the PX-2B which I bought at 17. I still have a soft spot for the box even though it was at best average quality. It, and all the tools I owned, were stolen from a friends garage where I had been working on his car.

He went on to steal my girlfriend not too long after so I was best rid of him. In retrospect I still miss the tools and the box but was far better off without Alice who shortly after left him for the next guy in line.

Great story Steve!  :bravo_2:

I hate to admit it, but I also miss some long gone tools more than some girl friends of the past.

I've never seen that one, just the four drawer version.

Being honest I don't recall if the neighbors box was 3, or 4 drawer. It has been a couple years since I had eyes on it. It was one or the other.
