Sorry, didn't mean to sound rude in my last post. Anywhoo ... you don't want to know what a home-size "weekend warrior" model would go for. It's crazy what those boxes sell for. I can understand (kinda-sorta-not really) a Pro Wrench using this sort of box and paying these prices, but for home use it's absolutely INSANE.
I have some SnapOn tools (new & used - mostly used) that I have purchased on Ebay and at D.O.D. auctions, but I can honestly say that I don't see myself buying any of the "truck brands" brand new off the truck for home use. My home use would never justify the cost.
Here's a prime example. This same size box can be had at Sears for approx. $500-$600 for both pieces ... ok, so it doesn't have the fancy-shmancy Harley Davidson decals on it, but dang if I can't buy my own decals for the difference in the price.

Here's another. Nice box, but I want something to keep my tools in, not my family heirlooms. Geez, I have driven used cars that cost less.

Craftsman box in same size would cost ya less than $300 ... ya got me on this one ... it's less than $2K!
