I got mine at Cdn Tire, when they go on sale there are a very good deal. Mind you, Costco has a really cool looking stainless one, price is reasonable.

Does costco STILL have the stainless ones? I went to my local costco (403/Dundas) last night and they didn't have any.

Yes they do Bilyk, costco's product line is large enough that every store has difference items on display. Depending on the staff in a particular store they may call other locations to locate one for you. I'm sure if a forum member happens to see one we'll let you know. To bad it wasn't a Greenlee Job Box you were looking for, I happen to have one still on the box that I couldn't return do to it being a special order.

The Tool Chests I have were purchased for both Sears And CTC. Both great quality, but I must say I was very impressed with the way mjager's drawer, slide on his tool chest. Let me know what type of lubricant you use on the DRAWER SLIDES....Make note that I put that in capital letters. As soon as the word lubricant is used I know I know........I must clarify.....

So sad that you have to clarify...

Yes, but unfortunately most of the staff at Costco don't get paid enough to know about what they are selling. I asked about the big stainless steel tool chests yesterday, and they just gave me a blank stare. After I described the product, they told me to look for it online

Greenlee makes tool boxes?!?

Bilyk there is a difference between tool box or chest and job box.....the job box I was referring to is Greenlee Job Box also reffered to as Mobile Storage Chest. Below gives you an idea what they look like.

Frank, my company might be interested in buying the job box from you, what size is it, and does it have wheels?

Default Greenlee Storage Box

Hi Bruce, the size is 30" by 48" Cat. No. 3048, UPC. No. 23362 with the upgraded casters already installed. It's new and still has cardboard and straps around box. See link below, page 2 upper left hand corner.

Just returned from Costco at 410 and Steeles in Brampton. They have 2 in stock, and are $839.99. It's 41" wide 19 drawers and Stainless Steel. I wish I could afford Snap On. But then I think there overpriced. Hey........I'm entitled to my opinion.
