My most used set is a Craftsman 1/2' based set still in a little carryable Craftsman box my Father bought me for Christmas in 1962. And yea, it still has Grand Dad's and Dad's tools in it. It's got a cast iron base that makes it heavy to pick up even empty, but it won't tip over! My Dad had it at the Olds dealer he worked at and it got treated like the 'Rat box' at a chainer show amongst all the new SnapOn boxes untill one time he went on vacation and when he returned the guys in the shop had picked the lock and emptied it, and stripped and repainted the whole box! Now, rather than try to copy the original Maroon-Red, the painter mixed a few left overs from cans of lacquer and shot it with what turned out to be a really nice 70's era Metallic Brown-Green, then pinstriped it in gold stripeing tape. I use a PRESSTEEL piggyback that my Dad inherited from his Dad in '63 and was well worn then, and I inherited in '82. Old Mac Tool Box For Sale Average ratng: 3,3/5 1046 reviews
