In 1988 had been working as a welder/fabricator for 4 years. I did what I loved for close to 30 years. If I could go back I would buy that same Mac toolbox from our salesman. I would definitely have it full by now! AL B.in Ohio.

I enjoy buying loaded tool boxes and going through them. I have to agree with Mrs G. in regards to keeping the gold. I know it dates the box but this 80s kid likes it.

Yeah it has to stay original she's right

[@hallsweldingservice]

Oh, the smell of those old craftsman screw drivers.

Sweet box before even better after, very impressive with a very nice 80"s vibe... and yes new drawer liners for sure.

A work of art. suggest ceramic coating to the paint and clearcoat to all brass and chrome. does it have ball bearing runners? Need to paint my waterloo industries Craftsman box from a Sears in Alabama in 1990, now In Ireland via England.
