Where in the World is that Perfect Tool Chest?
A tool chest is like a shoe…it needs to fit before the user is happy. Your precious tools deserve nothing less than the best container. We will help you navigate the curves and determine the best chest for your needs.
1) Determine the Size and Mobility. They say that “Bigger is Better”, but that is not always the case when you are looking for that perfect toolbox. What if you have only a wrench, a screwdriver and a hammer? There is no need for one of those “gigantic” chest sit would only take up space and be a real pain to get to the location you want to work at. If you get a toolbox to fit the number of tools you have you will be much better off.
2) The Size of the Drawers. As we all know, tools come in various shapes and sizes. Your toolbox needs to be able to fit the tools that you own (or plan to own). That’s simple enough. Tools such as rulers, crowbars and levels tend to be rather narrow, but long. Will the drawers of the toolbox you are considering house them? Be sure to keep the drawer ratings in mind as well.
3) Drawer Slides. Have you ever seen those little rails inside a toolbox? They are the drawer slides, and the actual drawers ride upon them. They need to fit, or the drawers will not run smoothly. Two slides are all you will need if the drawers are shallow. If the drawers are deep then you will need four. Consider the weight rating of the drawer for smooth action. Ball bearing slides are definitely the best you can get…but they are not an absolute must.
4) Casters. They are a must if you plan on moving that huge toolbox around the shop or garage. They should be of the appropriate size, with 4″ casters being the minimum, and 5″ or 6″ casters being preferred. If they are too small they will catch on any uneven surface, perhaps causing the toolbox to tip over. Two of the four casters should be locking ones so that the toolbox will stay put.
5) Material. You should look for a toolbox that is made from either “Stainless Steel” or “Mild Steel” if you can. They are the two primary choices of material.
6) What About the Warranty? A company that believes in their product will give you a great warranty. If you can get a toolbox that has a lifetime warranty…go for it.
If you follow these 6 items you will be able to locate that perfect tool chest to house your beloved tools.

John and I throw tomatoes about once a year and then retreat to our prospective ghettos.
If we carefully defined our points of difference we're probably fighting the same battle but on different fronts. Let me put it this way: In translation I feel that clarity is best as a starting point. The more we try to stuff all the intricacies of the original into our translation the more we will find ourselves with a hodge-podge of gibberish at the end. I'm very much a relevance theory guy on this point. Let the text speak clearly in the receptor language and then stuff the margins with as much information as possible to help make the text make sense in its original context and also highlight the places where the English text conceals alternative meanings, wordplay, allusions, etc.
In other words, I have a pocket knife and a big tool chest. John wants a really big Swiss army knife.
The H.O. Studley Tool Chest is an amazing piece of workmanship. Over 300 tools stored in a very small chest. True art
