I have the main bottom box and the small side box. I plan on adding another small side box to the other side. I also got the maple top. I will try to get a real pic up this weekend. It is real tuff to beat for less then $500

Harbor Freight rocks Gorn. Weve got one down the street. Probably pay it a visit once a week.

If you are going to buy a tool box its worth the trip to HF to check this box out. I have had a Craftsman regular type box and a 3K snap-on box and this box is right in the middle. Its got roller bearing draws even duel roller bearing on the big draws. The large bottom box weighs like 400lbs by itself. It comes on a pallet.

It lists for $449 they put it on sale for $399 and they send out 20% coupons all the time making it $320.
