That sounds about right!

My current tool truck balances:
Snap-On: $1,578
Burnt Images: $3,800 (My tool box was about $3,000 of that).
Store bought: ~$1,000

Tool trucks are such a bad idea. They are like toy stores for mechanics! I get on the Snap-On truck to give him my $40 weekly payment and end up walking off with another $150 in tools.
