Park Manufacturing tool box
« on: October 30, 2011, 06:14:39 PM »
Pictures will follow tomorrow, but I thought I'd give a chance to think about Park Manufacturing tool boxes.  Can't find much on them, especially since Park is the name of a major bicycle tool firm these days.  This weekend, I picked up a Park Manufacturing model 84449 tool box.  It's long enough to carry a saw, and has brackets inside to hold a level.  I'd like to know more about it and the company.  One site I checked out suggested that PM made tool boxes for Sears Craftsman.

Nope.  It's Park Mfg. Co. Grant Park, Ill.

  I just got one of these tool boxes too and am curious as to what it was for. I plan to use it as a chainsaw toolbox so if anyone has info as to it's original purpose please let us know.

I have 3 Park tool boxes. 2 have 2 drawers and 1 has a tray. I find these very well built boxes.

If you mean the long box with the saw and level holders, it's a carpenter's jobsite box, from the days when a good carpenter needed at least two handsaws, one crosscut, one rip.
