Does HD carry that brand Mud??? You be getting a discount I assume??? That is the kind of box I could buy if its the ones I am thinking about. Its been awhile since I shopped for a box. It still have the roller bearing slides and wider heavier than normal slides doesn't it?

home depot and discount in the same sentance? don't make me laugh. you know what we got for a christmas bonus last year? a cheap plastic pen that broke the same week.

i'll be getting the box from harbor freight. it's going on sale next week for $339. alot better than a 3-4 thousand dollar snap-on or matco that i can't afford.

I've been seeing this alot in this thread and I understand most people can't afford the nicer boxes. Sense I use my box everyday and it pays my bills I got the nicer one plus I know if I ever wanna sell it or trade it in on something bigger that nice snap-on box if taken well care of will hold its value. I guess thats the difference btw snap-on and macto boxes compared to craftsmen and whatever else is out there...

Yeah, I have to agree with you. I don't tell to many people, but I have to say, I do have some Harbor Freight stuff. Some of it is good, and actually probably more good for me than acutally good. Just some stuff I am not going to work it as hard as some will, and I can't see spending the big bucks to have the best, when I will use it one time and then it sits. Example, I bought the water tile cutter saw on sale for $59. I tiled my kitchen, entry way, dining room, both bathrooms, the front of my fireplace and by the back door using that saw. It worked great. I cleaned it up, put it back in the box like brand new again. The other saws I looked at were like $300 and did not have the features this on sale $59 tile saw had. Couldn't beat it. Now if I were a tile guy and my income depends on it, then differant story, but I got my $59 use out of this saw, and I still have it to use should I decide to tile a rent house or help out a buddy with a tile project. I also have one of those angle grinders you wore out. Works great for what I have used it for, but I guess I know now, I can't do a large cut up a vehicle project with it. I may look at one of those next time I go in there. I am usually at Harbor Freight at least once a week.

Absolutely true Lifted. If its your bread and butter box, and not your hobby box, then by all means go with nothing short of the best. I agree totally.

Bummer Mud, its not available in Blue. Red Only !!! It looks good on the ad, but I noticed they don't mention the guage of the metal used to build it. Have you seen, touched or played with one yet? I sure would before I bought it if you can. I do not recall seeing those in the store. I will be looking next time. I need to get a bigger system or buy another Craftsman box to go along with my other 2. I don't need another whole box, maybe I can get by with the hand on the side cabinet for the craftsman.
