Later on, I worked at a place where I did not have assigned bays. This is also a nice setup when you are starting out because whenever you decide to move on and up to a different shop everything breaks down quickly into components and you don't need any help moving them, and you can move them with just a car if you have to. As my collection grew I put a couple side boxes on, they make handy little work areas too. I had a tool cart that I'd put tools on and wheel that around the car. I never thought much about it at my first job, I had 2 bays and just parked my box and it pretty much never moved. IMHO, more important than the brand of the box is the style of the box which depends on how you use it at your work. The only time it makes a difference is the heavily loaded bottom drawers, and with those if you keep the tracks clean and oiled they will be just fine. The Macs have bearing slides but that really isn't much of an issue as I never noticed it on the other boxes. I used that as my main boxes for a few years. I had a 12 drawer top box (also craftsman) and found out how small that is when you work for a living, so I bought a set on sale. The Craftsman boxes I bought at my first wrenching job. A very important point was brought up earlier, it is not the box that makes you money but the tools inside the box! That said, I own a craftsman pair, a Mac pair, a couple of Snap Ons and some no names too.
