CL is an option as mentioned. I went with US General and happy with it.



Hey Tim harbor freight has this box on sale until the 31st. I would buy two of these before buying the bigger smaller than two boxes. Get one of these for now

Window dressing to match the others.

I tell everyone when they ask me but i LOVE the Lista boxes. they are pricey compared to craftsman but a bargain compared to name brands like matco, snapon and cornwell. and in my opinion a far greater cabinet than them all. they are built right here in MA so no need to pay shipping. just go pick them up.
best deals if your patient are the junkyard specials through motorhead extraordinaire. they are the dented or defected units. usually nothing huge wrong with them. standard fork truck damage mostly. I dont have a picture of mine but its about 60" long 50" tall and all listas are a standard 32" deep. holds every tool I need. that didnt stop me from getting a whole bunch of them though. they are great for keeping stuff off the floors and open shelves which i hate.

Thx for the heads up.  I was in the vicinity of a HF store in Amherst, NH and stopped in to take a look at them.  Honestly, I'm concerned that the 44" will not be enough space.  I have my tools extremely tightly packed into my boxes and would like to space them out a little more. 

Trying to see if it's a better idea to get two 44s instead of a 56?  I liked the size of the 56, but I could get two 44s for nearly the same cost!

There are a bunch of guys on garage journal that buy these boxes, with out the casters build a work bench over them. I suppose it is an ideal work height that way. Two boxes would look sweet under a 8ft work bench.

44" box is $389.99 before the coupon Krome found.  56" box is $799.  Seems that from a value standpoint that two 44a is definitely the way to go!

Thanks Chuck.  Really thinking about making a move on this.

i just want to point out that those are lista boxes in that picture bob.
found a picture of mine on my computer. this was $1800. when it came time to move it, it was filled with a LOT of tools. i was able to roll it around my shop by myself with little to know effort. the castors are heavy duty and work great.
