Kolbolt Tool box?

Woodhauler · June 30, 2012, 07:28:58 AM

Any one use them? Wonder who makes them? I'm getting to many tools so am looking for more storage for them.

I've had a couple of them for 10 years or so and they've held up pretty well. Not snap-on quality but for the price I've been real happy with em.

sears,napa,kolbolt,mac and others are made in the same place. Got one rated for 99 lbs per draw and ball bearing slides.

Well, spent last weeks profit on a toolbox! Seems nice to have everything in one place! Next is a garage big enough for my truck! Been hauling wood since around 1986-87 on my own,working out side on the ground is getting old!

I have no idea who makes Craftsman tool boxes at this time .At one time they were made by Kennedy of Van Wert Ohio .

If you were to take the old round cornered Kennedy and the round cornered Craftsman and place them side to side the only diff is the Craftsman is red and the Kennedy is brown .I have both .

As to Kobalt which Lowes sells the tools are made in China .I have no idea about the tool boxes .
