    I dont know anything about masterforce tool boxes but having more full length drawers are what make the long toolboxes worth the expense.

    They’re only offered in Menards.

    Pretty sure Montezuma makes the boxes.

    They offer an 11% rebate on the purchase too. So I’ll buy the lower box, get the rebate, then go back and buy an upper with the rebate.

    That looks like a decent design if you don't have a lot of heavy tools or spead them out.
    2 things I would check/consider.
    1- I would check if the large top drawer has 2 slides per side, if you fill up the top drawer with sockets like most people it ends up being crazy heavy, tool truck boxes will do double slides to handle this expected weight, the usg3 does this.
    2- I don't like that its only 19 gauge, I have a 41 inch husky pro top box to use on my snap on box and even though the husky is I think 18 or 16 gauge I had to spend my wrenches out between two drawers because the drawer started to sag and thats on a 41x20x1.5 inch drawer, I think my snap on box is 14 guage and there's no sag even with 40x18x4 inches full of sockets.

    It does have double slides on the deeper/larger drawers.

    The 19 gauge is a red flag for me too. Plus for some reason I don't think the top drawer is full extension, whereas all the others are.

    Again... always going back and forth in my head about this box vs the USG3.

    Bought myself this dandy little thing

    20230708_153232.jpg

    Although I could've bought the attachment for my Milwaukee tool, I didn't want to assemble and disassemble each time

    Makes really quick work out of these bottle openers I just made

    Down to my last 2 actually :laughing:

    I'll PM you in a little but they've got your name on them and I'll consider them sold.

    If anyone is wanting some I'll make a new thread!

    Bought the Bauer 12” chop saw last night.

    IMG_0793.jpg

    I bought a ski chairlift from my local mtn and need to cut up 4x4 wooden posts to build a frame for the chair. Gonna put it in my yard.
    IMG_0708.jpg

    The saw was $200 last weekend, and they wouldn’t let me use the 20% off because it was Bauer.

    yesterday I got the 15%off Bauer no exceptions so I looked into the saw and it was now $169.99 and then 15% off so I pulled the trigger. Now I need to go buy lots of 4x4’s.

    I bought the battery operated liquid transfer pump to pump gas from a 5 gal container to my generator. Works great and cheaper than I found on Amazon.

    Will that pump thick viscous oil, like differential oil (i.e.75w90)? I changed the oil in my rear diff once by just squeezing the bottle in the side of the pumpkin. Don't want to ever do that again.

    Get a hand pump or the gear oil in plastic bags. Unless you're doing a ton of diff oil changes an electric pump is rediculous.
