i would hate to guess.

but about twenty years ago someone got into my garage and stole all my tools.

i probably would have guessed about five hundred before i made a list, but the insurance company wanted a list with prices from sears, so i made one and went over to the store and priced out the replacemnet cost, and i seem to remember it was over fifteen hundred.

i have more than that now and they tend to be spread around, some in my garage, some in my basement at home and some at my building. this makes it tough to wipe me clean all at once.

when i buy new tool boxes i tend to take some gray spray paint and kindof camaflage it to attract the crows less.

(crows like shiney objects)....thieves are attracted by them too.

mostly craftsman. if i were a pro mechanic i probably wouldn't be able to resist snap ons. they are beautiful.
