With the new tool boxes they are a lot of fluff that is really not needed today for example if you have a radio in one that just takes up space for tools. You hear that Mac or Snap On or Matco are the better of the tool boxes If you did a little research I bet the boxes are all made in the same place by the same company.
Not true. I've owned / own Snapon, Mac, Cornwell, Proto and Craftsman. There is a world of difference between a Snapon / Mac box and a Craftsman / Proto box. They are definitely not made by the same company. I believe it is the Snapon web site that has video comparing construction and testing of the various manufacturers tool boxes.
I will give you a example of the hand tools that I have in the 60 degree off set wrenchs the Snap-On cost at the time $574.00 and the Mac cost $425.00 and you can lay both over one another and they are the exact same wrench right down to the way they are made. I believe these tools are put out for bid and who ever gives the the best price gets the job to make 500,000 to 1,000,000 run of that particular wrench. Now I just might be wrong on this but why spend the extra money on tooling when you can farm it out.

Again, I own Snapon, Mac, Cornwell, Matco, Proto and Craftsman wrenches. There are big differences in all of these wrenches. With the sharp ridges on Craftsman wrenches, they will hurt the hands much more than a smooth Snapon wrench!
