I too have to play with the Kobalt display when I am in Lowes.  :droolingbounce:That's a sweet box. Congrats Mike.  :2thumbs:I am sure you will enjoy it for many years. I have the low end Sears stack boxes. They serve their purpose well. I know all to well the cost of filling a tool box. My wife would freak out when I would come home with something like a punch set and then tell her it cost $85.00 bucks!! :22yikes: After she calmed down I would let her know I wanted an Ingersol Titanium impact (about $300.00 bucks) and that would get her straight!! Hey, when tools are your living, you want the best!! Go for  Mike, it's only money!! :money:

Knowledge makes money wisdom saves money, and my wife took mine and paid the bills today

People dont understand when you need both 12pt 6 pt  tall and short sockets, curved wrenches, fast and slow ratio ratchets, and 3 of everything.  My tool bill off the trucks was 250 a week. Owe the days, but it is a tax write off

Congrats Mike
I still have my first Snap On upper box(Rick Mears special edition)I still remember unloading it off the truck.
I never ever tell my wife what my tools cost :bigshades:
And thats a hell of a deal for Snap On tools,I would be in serious debt with an offer like that.

I saw those at Lowes awhile ago....Look nice!   I like the finish! Slightly deeper drawers.Ball bearings,locking hardware,good wheels....  I was interested.   Mayby for 770 !!   NICE Goody!!   You'll put it to good use. I check Craigslist for a used lower box or welder.I'm saving for rear discs.   And more gas... :poopoke:   Tonight is my first real cruise nite!! :bigsmile: Can't wait to pop that hood!    :sly:       Don't worry....You'll fill it up quicker than you think!! :woo:
