Compare craftsman toolboxes to US General at Harbor Freight. I actually like the latter better.

I agree, and if you wait for their sales, they are a VERY good deal.

I got the 3 drawer black rolling toolbox for $90, I couldn't believe how solid it was when I was putting it together.

I never buy anything there without at least a 20% off coupon.

The thing to remember about buying the CCC (cheap Chinese crap) is to know where it's weakness is before you buy it, there are tons of reviews on the website, and they will usually let you know where something will fail. Case in point, I bought a 30 gallon air compressor from HF. All the negative reviews complained about it not compressing above 40psi after a year or so. Another review said the problem was cheap head gaskets, and they were easy to fix. I waited for the head gasket to fail, and went to the auto parts store and bought gasket material. I used the failed gasket as a template, and replaced the gasket. It has worked like a champ for more than 4 years now. So for a third the price, I have a compressor that works just as well.
