I have a Mac tool box, it's held up for years.

Yeah, but it says it's made in Canadia.

I don't see much value for the money in that kind of stuff from Snap On. Is it really worth 5000+ more than any other tool holding box, besides the fact you could open up a Mcdonalds in the side compartments. And once you put tools in them you need a bobcat to move them.

Some Snap on stuff is special and is worth coin , this isn't one those pieces.

What bugs the hell out of me about some snap on stuff, is when you see the exact same tool somewhere else for cents on the dollar compared to snap , and all they did was print their name on it.

Even Mac is like that to now.

Lots of tool boxes are made in Quebec/Ontario, and I don't think the reason is cheap labour.

You can't beat a nice box to put your tool in!

If you scratch it bad, a little metal polish will fix it right up, where as with paint, well.... I really like the stainless boxes, think I am going to put my current boxes on kijiji and go buy a couple of those costco boxes.
