I went to Home Depot the other day to waste some time and also to see what they had in a welding cart. I notice a tool chest combo but didn't really pay much attention to it at first. They had a shitty little welding cart for $45 but wasn't what I really wanted. I started looking at the other carts tool chests and such.
Later that night I was telling
about the prices of their tool chests and she said we should finally get one. So the next day we went out looking and while I was showing her the Husky brand one, we noticed the Milwaukee combo. I was made of a better quality and had a thicker gage of metal. Electrical outlets built in and a heavier set of lid lifts. We fell in love with it, but the only one they had was the floor model and it was screwed up. We left disappointed, but went to several other Home Depots in the area hoping to find one. All were out with no chance of getting any more. It was some promotion item that was only sent out around father's day or something.
and I talked about it later that night and we decided that I should go out looking for one the next day. I got up and took to work and headed out. I drove to one of the Home Depots closer to Flint, Michigan. It was in an area that isn't known for being a safe area to go, but I also figured that the people who did go there wouldn't be buying something so big and costly. Most of the businesses in that area are locking up shop due to the high crime and shit that is going on around there.
Sure enough they had not one but two! Everyone seemed kinda puzzled that I was interested in purchasing one set. The guy helping me say that most of their large items are shipped off to other stores after a few weeks of the merchandise sitting around their store.
So here's what I got .....
