Waterloo tool boxes

[derekhonda]

Just a question. I actually just bought a new tool box, but don't know much about it. It is in good condition, not great...it has definately been used. Anyways it is 41 inches wide, 56 inches tall, and 18 inches deep. I paid good money for it, but then I got home and started looking them up online. Are they really like $1800 for both the bottom on wheels and the top cabinet that sits on top? If so I got a steal. Just lookin for some info.

I just spent about 3 hours tonight cleaning up the box: vacuumed all his garbage out of it, degreased it, powerwashed it, used car was stuff and rag cleaned it out, power washed it again, dried it, re-lubed the tracks, then waxed it up good. Turns out it is really a pretty nice box. And to top it off, he left about 6 clamps in a drawer! Still debating on whether or not to give em back.


Well this is basically my set-up, although far from new.

Just remember guys that a toolbox does not make you any money. I have been pulling wrenches since 1992. I have went from Craftsman to Snapon then to a service truck with built in draws. Money is better spent on tools such as bad***** impacts rather than toolboxes. A cheaper brand with roller bearing draws is just as good as a Snapon. WILL NOT look as cool but do the same thing. Worse thing you can do is go in deep debt to the tool truck!

I always say those that have giant toolboxes are compensating for lack of knowledge.

Or just got 4 mid size tool box's and a rolling cart and 3 shelf's full of any tool you can imagine. so all into one box works good!

I picked up a 41" Waterloo Top Box at a yard sale a couple years ago for $50 and it was loaded with tools, mostly craftsman but it did have some junk in it. Cleaned it up and looks like new. I got such a great deal on the top box I cant make myself spend that much money for the matching lower box.
