Saw this on a local auction site.   I like the layout (as if I need another toolbox).

That is one cool tool box. Have never seen anything like it. Thought a WWII tool box would look like a ammo cam.

That is one sturdy looking tool box. I like the layout too. I think if I made one I would make the top a little deeper to put my hand saws and level up there.

What a hefty old drill motor, that one would twist you up in knots real fast if it got stuck .

Thanks for posting ,brings back memories.

I'd like to have that, but as a conversation piece. It really is cool.

Cool find for sure,

That's really neat. The bid is currently at $180 plus shipping. 

It would fun to build one. I can't tell, is it metal clad? 

Very cool box!

The "leg" Infantry Companies I was with used to have a foot-locker sized Pioneer Tool box in the Supply Room.   From Axes to Handsaws, and everything inbetween.  Took two people just to carry the dang thing.....all hand tools inside.  Once the 1/148 went to a Mech unit, not sure whatever happened to it. 

That looks like it could take a linking and keep on ticking!

The site says it has some rust.....

I wish the inventory list as a little clearer.

 

Yes, and that site gets top dollar.  Earlier this year they had a Harbor Freight machinist's chest that was scraped and scratched that went for close to $100.   Harbor Freight had new ones for sale the same day for $79.

Auctions always seem to amaze me what people pay in a frenzy.

And, geez, the lotters don't often know too much.   Gonna get me some funky blue drill bits

Last year, the had a "table saw" that turned out to be a circular saw sitting on top of a workmate style table.

Nice collectables.  Too bad the first one didn't have all the tools.

That is funny, the drill only needs a fixed 1/4" chuck.
