Just pickup the 2 of them up. Sure glad I've got a set of forks for the skid loader. These things are heavy. 1st load in my new pickup. Now I'm getting drug into Menards for more custom electrical stuff. It's just down the street. I think the big ol back cracker got me back in earlier today. At least I can walk.

They are actually pretty good boxes.  The only problem for me with them is that the drawers are just six inches too shallow for all my socket trays...or I would have an orange one in my shop right now...

I got the forks on the skid loader and got them off the pickup and in the shed. Got the top and cardboard sides off the boxes, but these dang things are so heavy, I can't get them off the pallet they came on. Grand son and I might get them off in the morning. I was not expecting them to be this heavy.

Shameless, yes I know they have different combinations of drawer sizes.  I was referring to the depth of the drawer not in height but in length from front to back.

And you can stop telling me they all come in orange!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I see them every time I go into the store all the way from the parking lot, I want one  set up with all the boxes so I can get down to one box rather than three in my shop. but I need the right size drawers or else will have to change a bunch of trays, etc

My daughter got me one for Christmas. It’s an orange one. I been thinking about putting some AC decals on it. I like it pretty good, but there’s one thing I don’t like. You have to raise the top lid before the drawers will open. I know it’s so you can lock it all up with one lock and key. It just makes it harder to grab a wrench quick.

Grandson and I got these things unpacked today and got the wheels and handles put on. They are black, only color these come in. I figured both locks were keyed the same, their not. Haven't gotten to put tools in them yet. Had to work on the dang trailer today. Gotta get another back treatment tomorrow and put the finish coat on my oak panelling, Run a couple of plug in's, cut 2 shelves outta some 3\4" plywood and iron on the edges, then put the prestain and 1 coat of stain on them, and whatever else my dang old back allows.

With all the years of medical tech know how and break throughs, you'd think they'd be able to fix up our backs for us by now. I could sure use a rebuilt one, way past the buff and shine stage. Disapprove  I guess we just have to grimace and bare it.

Hay not to be poking you,but who gets the Trump welfare money for farmers. Or where you so pure you never took any government money. And no you don't need give a answer. Just wanted to make sure you knew that there has been money from the devil again. Cause it came out of the blue to me,but I sure didn't send it back. I would of never known if I had not signing up for the government subsidized insurance on my cow pasture. I was always told your competing against the farmer that take the cheese,so I might as well take it too.

I got 1 of them filled up today with my painting stuff, just the air operated stuff, Sanders, paint guns, razor blades, painters tape, etc. All of the electric stuff is in the basement. I can now see about 1/4th of 1 of my benches. Also getting my bolt bin set up. I bought it about 10 years ago at the old gals aunts sale. They had a building on their place that made campers, pickup toppers, etc. This must have come from that factory. It has a lot of odd stuff in it, pitching a lot in the iron pile, saving a lot. Should have it stocked next week. Several tools I have never seen before. Lots of odd ball wiring stuff. Most of it is Rusty and scrap. Might get the second box filled next week. I got's the grandsons 4x4 Kawasaki Bayou 400 sitting in the road waiting on a motor gasket and a new timing chain/gears. Can't wait to get it outside and move these boxes to the other end of the shop. He's got 2 days off this week and we'll get the clutch cover off this bad boy so we can replace chain. I got's to use my new camera with the 3' long snout to look at the bottom gear. Its a cool tool.
