Well, since you mentioned it, I have 5 rolling 30" toolboxes, and two large work station units. One of the work station units came from a garage sale and was $40 and needed 6 hours of intense cleaning. There are two Snap On shop service carts, one with drawers and Akro Mils bins below for electric parts and all of the electric tools and test equipment in the drawers and fold-out trays. The other is on four casters with open shelves, a folding tray on one end and a side cabinet on the other. All but the MAC workstation were from garage sales, it was bought off the Mac Tool Truck. I'm down to less than ten small tool boxes, with handles, most are empty. A few are mounted on equipment. I got a really nice and very old fold-out cabinet makers wooden tool box, probably built by the deceased Carpenter. It has 20 inside drawers for hardware, It came from another garage estate sale. My wife took my Hazet Companion for her stationery, it came from a garage sale also.
I seldom go to garage Sales now. I'm trying to downsize. Don't miss my garage sale. Did I mention my drafting table collection and mechanical arms to go with them? I had more ten at one time and there are only three left, now. My son claimed the radial axle unit and my wife took the portable 30" antique for her office. I'm keeping my big Hamilton with drawers, I've owned it for five decades. The drawers are full of drawing tools. Just for fun and to exercise my brain, I took Auto Cad in night school. Since it is all a game and I'm retired for years, I like the old school hands on a little more. You don't get all those neat things with Auto Cad.
I would rather have tools I do not need than to need tools I do not have
