      That is cool! Not sure how useful the LCD stuff is but the power strips and work surface are great ideas.

        They have had these in the stores for a few months. They seem incredibly cheap with tons of plastic etc. The drawers and slides are nice, but this is just a down right silly thing IMHO.

          For that price I'll just attach a power strip to the side of my 20 year old Craftsman cabinet. But the colors are nice ...

                Paul, just think of what you could upgrade to. In addition to that power strip (good idea), you could add a water fountain, small stainless sink, soap dispenser, pencil sharpener, AM/FM stereo control center, speakers, mini TV (color of course), your PC with monitor (might as well so you can keep track of the forum), and last but not least a PEZ dispenser. You'll probably still be within the budget.

                  When I turned wrenchs for the family mechanic, Snap~on tried to recruit me, because I knew more about the tools, then the ones they kept bringing in. But I wasn't the sucker for the cost of it all.
                  In their catalog, they had an alarm system, for their toolboxes. It wasn't as impressive as I would have liked it to be (wanted a remote activator, like a car alarm "chirp, chirp"). But it was humorous and expensive ($750).
                  She couldn't tell the difference between the escape pod, and the bathroom. We had to go back for her.........................Twice.

                    My second hand lower drawer cabinet has a pull out work surface tray. It is too small to act as a work bench but is just perfect as a catch all for tools that I'm not currently using which makes the top three drawers hard to get to. Wish I did not have it.

                    Ownership of this will likely impress your friends!

                      The prices on some of these tool boxes astonishes me any more...

                      You can buy a car for less money than some of these things...

                          At least yours takes some craftsmanship, unlike those $20K stamped steel monstrosities from Matco, SnapOn et.al.

                            Cabinetman,

                            They look great, how much do you sell them for?
