i went to a pawn shop to get my tool boxes. at first i just had a craftsman
chest with a bunch of drawers; it sat on various counters etc over the
years. it was way too heavy for me to move. then i went out (to a pawn
shop again) and got a roller base. i really like the roller bottom and the
multi drawer top. i ran out of space so i got a craftsman "middle section"
not sure what they call it. it's three more drawers and fits between the
roller base and the tool chest on top.
the one thing i can definitely recommend is that you buy way more tool chest
than you think you will need, and be sure it is all on rollers. still wish
i'd bought bigger <grin>
i think loews may have a set decently priced.
with a pawn shop you may get some extra tools! i've bought chain saws,
electric hand saws, etc at various places. mostly been good.
