Holy crap, I won a toolbox.....
« on: October 04, 2012, 07:00:01 PM »
Sorry guys, I know this isn't an old tool but I gotta boast....I never win a thing.

I entered the Gray Tools 100th anniversary contest in hopes of getting a T Shirt (you guys know how geeky I am over my Gray tools) and I won the fricken box!!!!



I went up to the Gray factory yesterday and met a bunch of great folks, including Mr Gray, and took the box home!



The box is a beaut...roller glides and flush faced drawers (the PR fella said it gives you 15% more drawer space) and a really nifty caster braking system. 

And Mr Gray even signed the box for me. I'm such a geek, it's like getting Carroll Shelby to sign your car.

HOLY COW!!!!!

When I read that you won a box and was waiting for my slow dial up to open the pics, I figured it was just a regular box with a handle on top so you could carry it around.

As the pic opened...there were just more, and more, and more, and more, and more...and then some more drawers.

Since you won the world's largest box, will you rent the bottom half of the box to me?

What  win!  But now you will have to remember which drawer you put your tools in.

That is a spiffy  professional looking toolbox.  Nice to see they are still made in the tall narrow size, that don't take up 9 feet of wall space.  The paint, and chrome look really top notch.  Going to line the drawers?

Yup...I'll probably use theatre roadcrate carpet, a thin, dense, felt like, hard wearing carpet.
