Guys thanks for all the responses when I asked for advice on a new toolbox. Well I researched all the things you guys mentioned. Menards, all their boxes were special order,which I hate. Used snap on,mac,or matco boxes were still 2 to 3 times the price of harbor freight 56in box. So I went ahead and got the harbor freight. I'm very happy with it. The box on the right is the one I replaced. Don't how I have worked out of it long. Thanks for all the help.

That is one nice looking box you have there. I hope it gives you many years of service now though you cant complain about finding the right tool when someone brings something by for you to look at. You just got yourself more of those it will only take you just a minute to look at buddy LOL.

Holy smokes! Not only is that the exact same tool box I bought but your old one is the exact same one I also replaced. I put a wood surface on top of mine (in case I need to hammer on it) and bolted a 3" vise to it.
 
I bought a new tool chest about 2 months ago. Similar to you, I had outgrown my old set up. I still can't find a tool without opening at least 3 drawers. Hopefully buy summer I will be down to opening 2 drawers to find a tool. End of summer maybe find stuff on the first try. Too many years using the old tool chest. I doubled the number of drawers with the new chest.
 
One of my grandsons started with a pretty blue KOBALT it didn't last. He and his brother each have HF toolboxes now and my son has started using HF also they are all happy with their purchases. I don't have room in my shop for one so my tools hang on the wall
 
First set was MBC top and bottom-Used
Second set Snap on bottom-Craftsman top-Used and new
Latest set is Red Harbor Freight Bottom and Top-Love them.
 
Looks GOOD, but a word of advice . . . Get yourself a good Label Maker
and label the drawers as to their contents. Makes it a whole lot easier
to find what your looking for.
