Lastly, at least for this week, is a vintage Snap-on tool box. Have not even cleaned it up yet.

This one I legitimately need.

I need to get a bunch of my tools down to the shop. REALLY getting tired running back and forth from the shop to the house and back for tools. I really do need the tool storage, and was considering just getting some of the gen II U. S. General stuff (on sale right now, as they are phasing out) from Harbor Freight. Not many tools I would consider buying from that place, but those toolboxes are a pretty darn good value. I have some, and have no complaints. But, this has SO much more cool factor. It was cheaper than what I could have bought the HF toolboxes with comparable storage; and it came with both keys. It is HEAVY. Top box is bolted to the bottom. Got both keys.

I believe this is 1972 or 1973 vintage. All in really good shape. Some corrosion on the outside of the bottom drawer, and the cabinet right next to that. Guessing someone spilled some battery acid on that one area. This will look great next to my 1968 Craftsman upper and lower box set (gray).

Should not be difficult to touch up.

I have the same Snap ON tool box, it has the enter three drawer center section and the side cabinet.

I bought one of those 72" US General tool boxes about 1.5yrs ago, one of the only good things sold at HF, it is HEAVY DUTY, 600+ pounds empty and I got it on sale with a coupon for less than $1K out the door, wish I would of bought 2 of them.
