I think they are OK, pretty sure I've seen them around. Myself, Snap-on baby. Got a roll cab for dirt cheap so naturally I'm partial to it, try 75% off basically. Craftsman is another good one, buy something with ball bearing sliders or whatever and something not made by foreigners.

well, the tradesmen that i was looking at was 10 years old i think. so, i dont think it would have lasted this long if it had any major problems. but that was my backup. im gonna check out the other one really thoroughly when i get the chance to. thanks for the info, though. and if i were gonna buy a new one, i would get a kobalt.

Tractor Supply is bad for me and my wallet...lol! Last time I came home with a set of ag tires for my riding mower.




Looks pretty cool now. I can't leave anything alone.
