I need to replace a few tool boxes, what brand do you guys use?

Every couple of years we go though tool boxes, lately we've been using the heavy duty plastic ones. I have a few that look like they were used as step stools.

I need to get a few, what do you guys use. It needs to have enough room for a knee kicker.

I favor ones i got at HD, its self latching when closed, dual latches are on the inside. recessed latch to open

Thanks Carl. Do you remember price or size. Its held up decent? I'd like buy good durable ones even if they cost a little more.

We used 26" "structural foam" boxes, Richard. They are super strong, never rust and yes, you can stand on them. I think HD has them.

PS The 26"? That way a knee kicker could fit in one. (I kept a full tool box out of the business sale- still have that kicker and seaming iron. Haven't been used in 20 odd years!)

Want to sell it?

Naaah, Richard. I never know when my "guru gig" might not work out. Might need that knee kicker some day...

PS Oh... wait a minute. A few years ago I decided to bang in the new carpet in our master bedroom.

I mean, how hard could it be? I used to install the smaller stuff several times a month on smaller water losses when our regular carpet installer couldn't get to it.

The next morning I could barely get out of bed. Maybe I will sell it!
