I’ll stick with my harbor freight / craftsman boxes thank you. Yes I’m serious. Like Offroad says, it just seems crazy…but if that’s what makes the price difference compared to some no name brand then it is what it is. Thanks for the info. > [@who use phantom grip?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/who-use-phantom-grip/42591/22): > > Snap On/Mac/Matco is not needed for the shadetree mechanic. The Lowe’s Kobalt brand is a good choice for your needs. I’ve got a Craftsman Pro at home, and a Matco (that I got used) for work. Purchasing a Snap-On/Mac/Matco brand new is dumb. > [@places to rent ~june/july?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/places-to-rent-june-july/42605/2): > > Forgot…the Harbor Freight boxes are EXCELLENT, and a great deal. Thanks for the tip on Harbor Freight. We need to get one for our garage because we have tools EVERYWHERE and it’s getting out of control. > [@fs 84 feiro](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/fs-84-feiro/42128/23): > > They are that expensive, because you get what you pay for. I know techs that have 30+ yr old snap on and MAC boxes that are used day in day out week after week. The cheap boxes for homeowners just don’t hold up in the long run for professional use. > > Not to sound like a dick, but you obviously have no idea what your talking about. If it’s just for your dad to use once and a while go to harbor freight their stuff will be perfect for your needs Hence why I posed a legitimate (I thought) question. I wasn’t trying to rail on his price as he’s obviously giving a huge deal, but I was asking for some educational posts as to why they are so outrageously priced. Thanks to the posts in here, I’ll be looking at Harbor Freight for our future toolbox purchase. Thanks. OP, I didn’t mean no disrespect to your post. GLWS, I’m sure it’s as nice as Camaro/Danny boy say it is. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/snap-on-tool-box-2500/258623)._
