Which brand is my box?
Hi community,
Recently i found this tool box in a storage locker and decided to refurbish it to look almost brand new. I have it up for sale currently and no bites yet. However, I do have somebody saying its a Beach toolbox. This whole time I've been thinking it was Mac Tools, hense, the logo, and the exact same hardware already with it. Before I painted, it was all red with chrome hardware. Can you help me out? Also how much do you think it could be worth??

Cornwell arca box with icon sixe locker
I'm trying to find out if one is able to mount the icon side locker to a cornwell arca box? I haven't been able to find anything on this so far? Also its specifically the ICON locker not the US general side locker

Help!!
About 1 year ago, I came up with the genius idea of getting my mechanic boyfriend a badass toolbox for Christmas this year. He’s always wanted a new one, but he can’t ever justify spending that much on one. For the past 12ish months, I’ve been tucking money aside for it.
Now, we are super close to the big purchase, and I’m completely stumped.
What’s the coolest, biggest, locking toolbox on wheels I can get a mechanic for $2000?
TIA

Tried looking up Mac tools Coors Bandit and couldn't find anything about it, i took it in on trade/collateral almost 10 years ago from a friend and i need to get new locks for it before taking it to work with me next month. I dont even know the rough age of it.

Just wondering what I can do for this toolbox?
So I have a craftsman 965628 toolbox I love it because it's somewhat lightweight, portable, has storage on top for misc. stuff, and comes with all sorts of different sockets/bits on plastic trays. Problem is that i leave it in my car and when I drive around the sockets come out of the socket trays and get all mixed up.. What is a good way to secure them in place? I mean I could get socket rails and all that kind of stuff but I like to not having to hear rattling while I am driving around..
Seems tedious to cut foam inserts for a 100+ piece socket set. I dont know if I can like heat up clear plastic to mold over the trays as a cover?
Unless someone can reccomend a portable mechanics tool kit set that has a storage tray on the top like this craftsman box?

Edit:
I think I might just get a versastack 3 drawer tool kit and then get a storage box to go on top of it https://www.craftsman.ca/product/cmmt99206/216-pc-versastack-3-drawer-mechanics-tool-set?tid=

Steel pegboard for 84" husky?
I have a husky 84" toolbox. Looking to get a metal pegboard mounted to it. I have seen smaller boxes in store with this one attached. https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-52-in-W-to-72-in-W-Gloss-Black-Adjustable-Pegboard-HOAA52B11/318999980
Has anyone managed to fit something like this on an 84 with modding or have any suggestion on what you would use instead ?

Toolbox workbench
I'm currently building a workshop at home and was given this toolbox from a friend at work. I was wondering if anyone has any plans or has incorporated a toolbox into a workbench. I already have a toolbox so thought with the spare box could be under a workbench to be out of the way.

A box I made from an oil pan, (legally) retired sign, and random bolts
Because this gets brought up every time YES I HAVE PERMISSION TO HAVE THE SIGN. It was destroyed by a tornado and I was able to get a flat section out of it. I personally hung up a brand new sign.
The oil pan came off my TDI and was punctured on a dirt road. I used some misc bolts to fashion a handle, then some gate hinges and a hasp to make it work.
