New Toolbox suggestions.

[Big A]

I've pretty much decided on the 27" stainless Kobalt set, my I'm trying my damndest to justify the 41" boxes. It's $300 more, but has a power strip with USB jacks, and surely I can fill it up...

it's a hell of a lot more expensice to go bigger the second time than it is to buy big the first.

Never hurts to get a bigger box, more room for future tools. At min you can have a WTF drawer full of nuts/bolts/etc

Harbor freight all the way on a budget. Spend a little time on garage journal and they will say the same. If you have a little to spend find a used truck company box. New craftsman is crap.

That's the problem, I know that I will fill it up, I've already got a few wtf drawers in the garage. Plastic bins are cheap, and I'm thinking that the extra $300 would be better spent eventually going towards a big cabinet for the larger tools like the circular saw and dewalts and other big items. There's plenty of rack and cabinet space in my current garage, but it's all wooden piece meal that the previous owner built.

The 27" is already bigger than the one it replaces, at least the top box is, I think I'll need to go put my hands on them to make up my mind.

I bought the 44" HF thinking it would last me a long time, and it will. Sort of. It was full 3 days later. Plus a couple travel boxes now. If you have the space, go bigger.

Edit: organization will get you a lot farther but once you start it will be an ocd area
There's a lot more in that drawer now but you get the point

Its not OCD to me on tool boxs.

Its about being productive, but being a professional wrencher makes it a little different.

Also, can look at a drawer and say.. where in the hell is my 13mm line wrench

That is a decent description of at least half of the drawers in my tool box. Always get a larger size then you think you need if you can afford it

If you haven't bought it yet. I would get the middle harbor freight box. It is built better than the lowest harbor freight box and better than any of the husky or cobalt boxes.
