New craftsman truck tools

[duggy]

I got very tired of bringing my nice snap on tools for every trip I go out so I started looking for a dedicated truck tool box. I could not find anything decent that had everything I needed and was in a molded box. That was a need because on wheeling trips things can get shifted around. Craftsman currently has a sale on this box for $160. it does not include pliers so I bought a set of their evolv line of pliers and stuck it in the box. This is a great deal! I'm very happy with the purchase and it makes packing and unpacking my tools unnecessary now.

Wish the molded box was more compact

I like the idea of having a less expensive set of tools dedicated to the truck, but those blow molded cases are not a very efficient use a space. No way could I leave that in the back of my topless 40. I'd have to put it inside a bigger lock box, whereas a canvas military tool bag will fit in the factory toolbox under the drivers seat, or in an ammo can bolted to the truck, or even a drawer system.
