I couldn't agree more the Snap ON Lock-N-Roll boxes suck they are so poorly designed its rediculous.Cornwell at least used steel locking latches so they hold up to more than the Snap On ones.I carry my portible box everywhere with my tools.The big box stays at my house locked away so nobody knows where its at.

The best thing you can do for tools is get a good relationship going with no more than two tool guys that are reliable and decent to deal with and stick with them. I hate craftsman tools with a passion. The only time I have ever broken Craftsman tools is when I need them the most. They have always let me down when I couldnt afford to be. Cornwell wobble sockets destroy all others and cost less. I have never broken one and I have had them for 4 years.
