BTW, anybody notice the stock beer bottle opener on the right side of my tool chest? That got some jokes.

Part of the reason I bought that. The snap on versions were 3 grand. No beer bottle opener. I got this box for under a grand brand new. 700$ to be exact. Should bring me to retirement. And if it doesn't, I will just buy another one and still be cash over and still make it to retirement.
My old box made it to 26yrs of abuse and still have it. I have 22yrs left of work till eligable for pension. So if I have to buy another one, what is another 700$? if that box fails for some reason. I rather invest on useful tools than a brand name box that serves only one purpose, which is to sit there and house my tools.
A few of my co workers said to wood counter top would scratch. Yes they were right, but sanding a wood block and slapping on varnish is way easier than sandblasting a metal top and color-matching the finish. I got a quote to cap the top with the same diamond plate you see in the back drop, but I thought that would be diamond plate over kill. Capping off in stainless steel was 1/2 the price of the box, home depot has varathane varnish for 20$ a can. Do the math. New counter top varnish once a year, half hour with my old friend belt sander and it will always look great. Clients love the set up. They don't see that often in old school shops like ours.
Anyways, like I said, more pic to come.
