I have the following 41" kobalt box:

I just counted 162 wenches in 2 of the drawers. I think you should be able to fit in 80 without any problems.

Is this the one with a refrig and a stereo? I saw them when I worked at Lowes. Even saw one setup for delivery. I wonder if the guy who was getting it had a wife and/or kids?

Buying tools is 1/2 brand name, 1/2 word of mouth for the tool you want

Thanks, I also have a small welding business I run from here and this is where I do auto work for myself. I also have a number of friends that come over and do oil changes and light mech work. This is a great place to hang out and do guy stuff.

The bottom box was a present from my dad 5 years ago and he recently bought me the top box. I bought the middle and side box. I want to buy another side box but I dont trust the casters.
I would post some of mine but Merk's box is close enough to the way mine is arranged. He also has that fancy Snap-on box but it's in the wrong color....

I have considered a middle cabinet, but wonder if it will make the top too high and the tool I am looking for will be hidden. I am 5'10, so kind of normal height for a man.

I am 5'11" and I am fine. I think you will be ok.
Nice. Wise decision. How much was that and where did you get it from? I have wanted to see one of their boxes in person. How is the build quality?

It's the 41" EX4119 and costs around $1300 shipped from Strictly ToolBoxes. The build quality is very good IMO, a notch up from the Craftsman. Drawers slide nice and smooth and the detent mechanism does a good job of holding in the drawers even when fully loaded. Even the little things like the key/lock is nicer than CM (same key opens both boxes), the back of the top chest is secured to the bottom box with metal straps and it comes with drawer liners for every drawer. I also like how you don't have to raise the top box lid in order to open/close the drawers; that took some getting use to.

Where did that tray for the extensions come from?
