Default Costco tool box

Guys,

After looking at one in the garage of the fella that made my GT-40 wheels, I had to have one.

I bought it at the Costco in Burbank, Los Angeles California.

When I got it home, we assembled the the wheels etc, stacked it...it is LIGHT YEARS beyond the Craftsman stuff.

Sadly...Sears...or whoever markets the Craftsman brand has been slowly gutting the "brand name" for the last 10 or 20 years.

I looked at the Craftsmen tool boxes, over priced and marginal if they were the ball-bearing units...for less than a 100 bucks more I got the stainless stuff from Costco...one year later?...GOOD CHOICE !...money well spent.

It infuriates me when marketing prostitutes milk brand name/goodwill images till nothing is left...it is truly immoral, but people have such short and uncritical memories.

(whew...! I said it! )

Pete
