Default MSC Ships me a Toolbox (Tale of Woe)

I don't know what you ordered, but if you are spending $1700 on tool
storage, I would respectfully suggest that you cancel the order and buy
Lista instead. I researched this extensively a few years back and Lista
had by far the best quality cabinetry at similar to Kennedy prices. If
I've convinced you, I can give you the contact info of a gent in PA who
sold me 4 Lista cabinets for significantly less than I could buy them
elsewhere. I had them custom specified (for drawer arrangement) and
they were shipped directly (to CA in my case) from the Lista factory in
MA. I bought shop cabinets, but they also make tool storage. I have not
contacted him in while, so I don't want to just throw his email address
up. If you email me ) I'll give you his
info. Remove "nospam" from the address.


I almost got a lista, but their configurations just barely missed
what I needed. I wanted a shallow depth box for mobility in a crowded
shop, but enough length for my tire irons and cheater pipes, which are
just under 40 inches. I also wanted to have both a long, shallow drawer
and a short, deep drawer in the same box. I could assemble Listas
together to accomplish that, but it gets too large. But later on when
I'm looking for a really big, and mostly stationary toolbox, I'll
probably go straight to Lista.
For my planned usage, the Kennedy I ordered is best. Plus I like
crinklecoat paint. (:

the picture on that page is wrong, look at the catalog page for the
correct drawer arrangement.
