mac boxes kinda suck.. terrible value.

honestly, they're all big metal squares with some drawers. if it has some sort of semi recognizable name on it, its going to last damn near forever. even the HF box is welded steel with ball bearing sliders, its gonna last forever. assuming the same dimensions, the only thing thats really different is the price tag on front.


but! cheap boxes tend to have stupid dimensions, like an 18 inch depth. this is where they get you. you want a deep box to utulize space. this also gives you a workbench top instead of a useless riser box that takes up space. if you search you can find good cheap boxes with ~28-30 inch deep drawers. you also want lots of shallow or medium depth, WIDE drawers.. look for wide, deep, shallow drawer toolboxes. drawers that are too tall end up getting filled with junk and ruin organization.. you only want a couple tall drawers to store powertools etc.

check out SK toolboxes, they have good dimensions and they're about 1/3rd the price of other professional boxes.
