Default Beating A Toolbox Price Increase

I was in Sears Friday and their 17" Craftsman toolbox had risen to $14.99.

Saturday I drove to Kmart on Dale Mabry and Columbus in Tampa, and the same toolbox was still selling for $9.99. It may be selling at other Kmarts for the same price.....for a while.

If Kmart is late raising their prices, or hasn't caught on yet to the increase, It might be a good time to buy and put the money in your gas tank.

Just passing it on.-Bob

Thanks for the info. It will be very advantageous to go to K-mart vs. Sears for the toolbox. I do need one!

sears=kmart

In gay ass zephyrhills, we have a kmart with a sears section. The sears section has a horrible inventory and nothing for tools. When my wrench broke, kmart wouldnt replace them until i bitched and bitched. A final, "Look here and read the damn warranty. I'm leaving with this now thanks." did the trick.

LOGIC? You seriously want to invoke logic in a conversation about fake hijackings, missiles hitting the pentagon, and bombs planted throughout the world trade center? I thought it was a given that logic was checked at the door when entering one of these threads.

I'm guessing plastic, cause $10 for a stainless 17" toolbox seems too good to be true lol.

The closest sears to me is over 30minutes away besides the Kmart/Sears thingy I was talking about.

The toolboxes, including the standard 17", 20" and 24" have always been plastic. The subject of this thread was a savings on the available toolboxes, not to find you a good price on a metal box.

When you go looking for toolboxes there are lots of considerations.
I have several toolboxes from more than one mfg'r.-Bob

I was just curious what material the box was made of.

Good price regardless.



I have a plastic case, looking for something small and metal.

You might check out some of those aluminum "briefcase" type toolboxes.
Harbor Freight and Lowes/Depot have 3 sizes.

Sometimes used for electrical toolboxes. Not the traditional style, but small and the bottom won't rust. I was going to get one, but future plans
for the back of the car don't give me room.-Bob
