I am looking at their HD Plus line that is on sale right now. I have a Craftsman box, but I'm running out of room. What do you guys think?

The ones that I recall seeing were cheap and flimsy, not impressive at all. They'd be okay for a home DIYer on a tight budget, but I think wou will find the low end Craftsman stuff to be higher quality, for not much more money.

Take a look at the Lowes Cobalt series stuff, it looks pretty good as an alternative.

Regards,

I know the lower end Clarke stuff is crap, but the HD stuff looks pretty good and feels comparable to my higher end Craftsman. Thanx for the help!

Michelle,

Give me a call before you buy anything. I found a local place that has real nice scratch and dent name brand stuff. Its about 1/2 price. They also have close out stuff.

I use a craftsman professional series, and it is a very high quality box. You might not be able to sit or stand on the extended drawers like you can with a snap on (though I have never tried, lol), but for the money they are very nice. I picked up my full roll around top and bottom boxes for 700 used.
