My beloved tool boxes (I still need to go bigger)

Well, went hardcore on cleaning up my garage last night because it was driving me crazy how bad it had become (tools laying around or "missing"). Sorted things out and finally got stuff back where it belonged. I even went as far as to degrease all the drawers on the big Snap-On box.
Of course I had to move a bunch of crap around to make room for the stove I use for powder coating (which use to be at a buddy's garage). I've decided I need to put more shelves up because too much stuff lays on my all-ready-too-small work bench. In the spring I'd liket to get rid of my 2 smaller tool boxes and replace them with a Craftsman 40" wide box.

Here's a few shots from my cell phone of my large Snap-On box, my 2 smaller Craftsman boxes, and my Snap-On rolling tool cart:

Here's a shot of slat wall board with just some of my Tsunami & Raptor car audio install accessories which most everything is stacked 2 deep on the peg board hooks.:

Yeah, I picked it up several years ago while working at a vinyl graphics/custom accessories shop. The Snap-On rep loved the owner because he purchased the largest box they had in the catalog at the time. He gave us decent breaks on stuff because of that.

That box was traded in on a 60" wide work-top tool box. The rep didn' want to have to take it home and store it, so he sold it to me for $1,100. He even showed me the paper work on the trade-in to prove he was only braking even. I couldn't pass up the deal. The box was $7,000 brand new over 10 years ago! Even has a rare push button (no keys involved) lock system.
