We saw in the news last night that Lowes is shutting down all the Orchard Supply Hardware stores nationwide (AKA "OSH" around here). They carry Craftsman and other brands of tool chests. They will be starting liquidation in the next couple of days.

I need a larger tool box for my shop. I have several nice Kennedy boxes but they are not suitable for larger mechanics tools.

So looking for a nice used box. Snap On, MAC, Mattco etc.

In Utah, we have KSL classifieds. Generally bargains can be found there. So I did some data entry. I also checked Ebay.

I found that nice high quality tool boxes run from 2 cents to 12 cents per cubic inch.

Ebay is higher than KSL.

Matco was about at the top for price, Mac and Cornwall were in the middle, Pro Series (they claim to be a Snap On competitor) were at the bottom.

Snap Ons were scattered through the whole spread sheet. I currently have 21 entries.

Lowest cost is $990 Highest $8000

I did not include Husky or any of the bargain brands.
