well i had a nice snapon box, technically its the largest roll cart they make...but i literally out grew it.

once you work out of a nice box...it will be very hard to go back to a crap box like a craftsman...

I have worked out of plenty snap on boxes, I really don't see how it makes a difference. Cuz the drawers are smoother? Lol our longest working tech (for 30 years) worked out of a craftsmen and it lasted till he retired and I'm sure it was built in the 70's.

Thanks for insulting my box tho.

weight....if you have a full set of sockets, 1/4-3/8-1/2 with impacts, air ratchets, standard, metric, medium length, hex, torx, e torx, allen socket sets, etc...**** gets REAL heavy REAL fast...try putting all of that in a craftsman box bet the drawers open like crap and you spend your day making yourself tired just opening drawers instead of using them to actually make money repairing...

if you are a tech for Mercedes, chances are they supply you with a box...a name brand box... matco, snapon, etc...almost all big dealerships do just that..atleast the ones worth working at anyways

Lol I don't know of any Mercedes Dealerships ( and I have alot of Benz Tech friends from school) that supply you with a box, let alone any other dealership. I WAS (as in previously) a Mercedes Tech for 2.5 yrs. I now know that no dealership is worth working for because being a Tech is a terrible job.

I have just about everything you mentioned minus standard stuff (Because it's generally useless for what I work on) and I have no problem opening or closing my drawers.

Also, weight is something you measure, Wait is something you do.

It's actually an SC300 2JZ-GE NA-T conversion, rebuilt, and with a few supporting mods to handle the boost. It just happens to have the GTE valve covers thanks to my brother lending me his. :P



See? Stupid distributor....
