Love that line’ “Jane you ignorant slut... it’s no account mattress-backs like yourself that continue...”Point-counter-Point... Jane, you ignorant slut.
My mom and wife bought me the big Dewalt tool box at Home Depot a few Christmases ago, and it’s been great. No matter how big the box seems it will eventually be too small, as you’ll start to accumulate bigger tools, including air tools which can take Up a lot of space. If you’re teetering on a decision point, go bigger. Nobody wishes they had a smaller box.
Also, good tools are expensive, but you can save, as others have suggested, by buying the biggest bulk sets. EBay is a good source for those, but verify the seller.
i don’t know Harbor Freight tool boxes, but most of their stuff is Chinese — fine for light-duty, one time use, but a bad plan for tools you’ll need forever. “Cry once, buy once” really applies to wrench and socket sets. Also, you can occasionally find amazing deals on top-tier tools like Mac and Snap On in pawn shops, so it’s worth a look if you’re passing by.
Finally, some of the poorly built stuff at Harbor Freight, like blast cabinets and solvent tanks, can be modified into decent stuff without spending a lot of money. Lots of YouTube direction on that.
