I'll second the husky. It's extremely robust (much more so than the Kobalt boxes) and half the price. Just doesn't come with the silly speakers.

So I know I was really looking hard at the Husky but I think I've settled on the Harbor Freight box. This is the review that changed my mind.

Ah, the old Garage Journal. If you need info about a hand tool that's your place. And tool chest threads rage. Remember, there are guys there who are crazier than we wet shavers are when it comes to collecting tools. And by that I mean obsess. I have read threads there where some members report owning just about every set of Snap on wrenches made. If you think we spend money you haven't seen it til you look at a chest full of Snap on tools. Makes Czech & Speake look downright bargain priced! Good guys for sharing information there.

Oh I know all about the tool spending lol. I love my hand tools but it's a habit I can't afford. Now my brother on the other hand makes weekly trips to the snap on, mac, and matco truck and he isn't even a mechanic. I would love to have either the tools he has bought or the cash he has wrapped up in them. Fortunately I now have a reason to support my hand tool obsession since I'm entering the mechanic field lol.

So I settled on a harbor freight 44" top and bottom with a side locker. With the locker it just seemed more practical with a place I can keep my coat and an extra uniform. I used it for the first time today and can say I'm very satisfied.
Dont go cheap. A man is only as good as his tools and if you're not organized you're handicapped out of the gate. My tool box has wheels and is called a "van". Good luck and best wishes on the new job.
