Nice box. How much did it cost?
And what is the brand?
I need something similar but most of what I see is in the $400+
range.

Txs for the info.
Nice box but no Costco in my area.
Hope you get many years out of it. My old Snap-on still works but running out of space rapidly.

I looked at that box. It's built well and should holp up pretty good. Costco is a dangerous place, you can go bankrupt up in there.

Thats a nice tool box.

I need to get a new one too. I have more tools than space in my old one. I think you have more money invested in your tool box, than I have in tools.

That is the problem with Costco. You go in there to buy two items and you always walk out spending no less than $300
