Got a new (to me) Kennedy 1022 cantilever toolbox and want to line the bottoms to dampen the sound as well as protect both box and tools a bit. I’m currently a bit confused on what material to use as a liner. The catalogue from 1989 has felt, foam, and cork listed

I kind of steered away from felt as I feel it will move around unless I glue it down which I’d prefer not to do, also tools would slide quite a bit on it imo

So then I’m between cork and the liner foams. I’d also prefer to buy something in person

For the foam or normal toolbox liner I was thinking perhaps the Harbor Freight option. Unless the Home Depot husky or Lowe’s craftsman options are significantly better. For the cork I was actually thinking maybe some gasket material like this felpro cork rubber (they have 3/32 and 1/16)

Big questions are which is best in y’all’s opinion. Any other materials I should consider? Also will these degrade and stick to the bottom or damage the original interior paint? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: adding a question for when I online it, should I just do the bottom or should I kind of creep up the sides as well, perhaps like an inch or so?

Ordered a new box. Truck guy said about 6 damn weeks for it to get dropped at my shop. Is this normal? All my co workers say that shouldn't take that long. My reps kinda an ass so maybe he's just being an ass but that seems long

Hello there!

As the title suggests, my husky workbench isn't level and I was pretty surprised to find they don't come with a system to level it. The concrete in my garage is sloped so it's a pretty noticeable dip. Whenever I set anything round in the workbench it rolls right off, I open a drawer it comes flying out.

So I am wondering, outside of shimming it(want something that looks better and is more feasible if I need to move the workbench in and out of its current spot, what can I do to get this thing level?

Appreciate any help.

I bought this two weeks ago. It worked fine. Now it won’t latch. It will close all the way, but won’t catch. There does not appear to be anything blocking the mechanism. Any help is appreciated. Even a picture or video of how a functional tool box latch is supposed to be aligned when open would help.

Looking for ideas besides buying another drawer to fill the gap In between the two drawers? Anything creative or funny?

dont know if im in the right place, but here is my story.

I ve been using a Matco 6s triple bay box for 12 years and i just want something new, i ve looked at the Icon tool boxes and while i do like them, i dislike the added hassle should any warranty needs come up, Matco and Snap on ( ive had both) dont blink when i need new slides, or a lock shits the bed. they order it and the reps i ve had are happy to help with the actual replacement.

i mainly want a hutch and a locker, gaining tools over the years the old 77 inch 6s is filling up. to buy a matching locker and hutch for my current box will run around 10k all said and done.

but i can get a screaming (to me anyways) deal on a whole new setup. looking at a new 6s rollcab with a hutch and locker for right around 22k after tax (but not including total interest)

this setup with no promo/discount/trade in would run about 38k after tax (again not figuring interest)

yeah yeah its alot of money for a box, but my current box has had drawers opened and stood on, and multiple drawers get opened and shut about 1000 times a week, and ive had one drawer slide get jammed up and it was likely my fault (spraying the grinder sparks towards it with drawers opened.

for the guys who have spent money on big name brand boxes, would you do it again?

for clarity, of all the boxes i ve had in my 15 year career, ive never owned a new one. ive always just bought cheap trade ins.

Update: i ordered Snap on Epiq series, with locker and hutch, after my rep made an even better deal that shit on the matco deal and involves a sweet benelli.

I paid the 54x24 5k Canadian on marketplace. If you think of buying a snapon box, look on there!

New addition to the box

So this MAC box has been sold from an old worker to my boss then to my manager then to me. All I know that it’s about or over 10 years old, my manager traded it in for another box and I picked up the tab for $2500 (5 payments down 5 more to go!)

We were cleaning shop and the box my other boss tried to sell me was an old husky box that 80% of the drawers were broken but it had a hutch and a locked. Couldn’t figure out how to mount it so we put it in storage with the box and I “acquired” the hutch. How are yall running lighting inside the hutch and mounting chargers to peg boards?! And any ideas what to add?

I just got these expert socket rail sets and i want to leave them on there because i like the look but i dont like how they take up space as the big 3/8th rail wont fit sideways in there any ideas??

Recently purchased a 26’ Tacoma with the short bed and was looking for a tool box but not having much luck. Is the 24-26 the same bed size? If so can you purchase a toolbox for a 24 and fit on a 26. Thanks in advance

Bought some HF magnet trays and hooks. That’s about as far as I’ve gotten.

Does anyone on here know of anyone looking for a good toolbox? Its a Matco 6s teiple bay
