If you can handle used, pick up a Trading Post and look there, as well as pawn shops. New, then try Costco to start...hold off on the big purchase until your job requires it.

I use Kennedy in the brown wrinkle paint since I'm a toolmaker. Mechanics should have red boxes, and construction workers use the blue and electricians use yellow. I don't know who came up with the color code, but that's just how it seems to go...

Kennedy are also more secure than the Waterloom IMHO.

I currently have 8 rolling chests, 6 wooden benches, 8 box risers, 10 top boxes, and two wall cabinets full of tools...all in Ohio. Here, I have 3 rolling chests, 3 tops and 3 risers full for work...one for die maintenance, one for machining, and one for precision grinding tools.

If you were closer to me, I'd be willing to let you have a box until you were able to buy one. No sense going into debt just to have what you need to be employed...
