Speaking of a happy wife = sexy, ever since 2 girls in the team at work found out I wasn't single anymore they suddenly became interested. And if I don't mention anything they keep asking me if I broke up. WTF, I could have been a lamp when I was single but now all of the sudden something changed.

They want what they can't have.

Nothing wrong with being a tease.

Thinking hard about buying a new tool cart. My diagnostic tools have far outgrown my current cart, and SnapOn has a 15% off deal right now that puts their cabinets right where I want to spend... and they have a sexy new flat black option.

http://buy1.snapon.com/catalog/item.asp?P65=&tool=storage&item_ID=747219&group_ID=682831&store=snapon-store&dir=catalog

Here is a random pic online of the cabinet in flat black (looks much better in person)

I can't believe I might be buying SnapOn storage, but with this sale I will be paying less then I will for a similar cart from Mac and Matco.

Plus he is throwing in a mico tool box set

Sure, it is worthless and I would never spend $120 for the set, but it is still kinda cool...

[nem 2,019]

Nice looking box Seth.

I don't know if you're concerned about names, but the Cornwell guy told me the other day that all the big manufacturers get their carts made at the same place to pretty much the exact same specs.  He had a Matco and Snapon cart on his truck with his Cornwell cart and all were identical.  They even had parts with the same stamping numbers.  Anyways, he told me if you want to save some cash to find some Sunnex (sp) cabinets online.  He said they're about $100-$200 cheaper even if you factor in shipping.  I haven't searched yet, but my father has a Sunnex cart he's had since the 80s for all his body work tools.

Names don't mean shit to me. The vast majority of my tools and all my storage is Mac branded. I have never gone the (IMO) overpriced SnapOn route. Aside from my Verus and it's accessories, I don't have $1000 of SnapOn/Blue Point tools.

Sunex currently makes Mac, Matco, and Cornwell boxes, but SnapOn makes their own. They have for several years. My Macsimiser is ~20 years old and was made back in the day when Mac made their own boxes. It is so much more solid then the new boxes.

One of my co-workers has a Sunnex built Matco cabinet that is very close to the Snap-on I am on the fence about. He paid $1450 for it, I will pay $1350 for the Snappy. It is so close in dimensions you need a tape measure to see which is bigger (the SnapOn drawers are ~ 1/2 inch larger in width and depth, the SnapOn cabinet is ~1/2 inch wider and deeper, and the SnapOn is a 6 drawer, where the Matco is a 5 drawer. The SnapOn unit is also more solid (double layer steel sides) and offers expandability, through a slot locking system built into the panels.

I am not a fan of the lock and roll drawer locking system. One of my co-workers is an all SnapOn guy, and he has a box that uses this system. You have to finger a full drawer length release and move it to the left ~1/2 an inch. It is very easily removable (less then 10 seconds per drawer with no tools required), but the drawers have no detents.

[sandt38 448]

I guess I should clarify, while some of the SnapOn carts are made by Sunnex, the larger carts and boxes are not

[sandt38 448]

Nice looking box Seth.

I haven't bought it yet. I am not terribly happy about spending the money, as I spent ~ 20 grand last year. But I think it is a sexy unit, and I really need more mobile storage. I am resorting to sticking some of my diagnostic tools on the bottom shelf of my desk.

Drat! Foiled again!
