Late as can be reply, but that doesn't seem like a bad deal if that includes the top chest with it. I just picked up a Masterhand toolbox from tractor supply about a month ago. It's 40" wide and 18" deep. Nice ball bearing slides, and a good price at only $400. It's not as wide or deep as my boss's snapon toolbox, but then again it didn't cost 5 grand either. I'm focusing on trying to fill up the drawers before I shell out the dough for the top chest. I don't want to even look at the recipets...I have to have more than $1700 in that stupid thing! But it is very nice to have alot of tools.

I got my tool chest from Costco. All stainless steel, ball bearing drawers, gas tube top lid. Very durable and nice looking in stainless. They now have two different types.

41" Stainless Steel (about $600)

56" Stainless Steel (about $900 - $1000)
http://www.cspsmetal.com/toolchests/CPTCSWS0B5623.htm


I've had the 41" for a couple years now and it's as good as new. The above pictures are the powder coated versions. The chests Costco sells are a stainless steel finish.

I've had it for a few years now and it's still like new! Roller bearings, thick steel and good quality casters, can't ask for much more.
