...and one of them needs to be shipped to me.Tool grinding / resharpening is becoming a lost art. I've not even seen these grinders used in the almost 3 years in this shop.

DE, I have a Snap-On box I paid right around $5k for. If I had to do it over again I would buy a much cheaper box. The difference in quality between a Snap-On and nice big box brand toolbox is nonexistent or at least not worth the massive increase in price. But when I worked at an HD dealership you were expected to have a very expensive tool box almost as a display piece to compliment the shop. The tech in the back with biggest most expensive toolbox must obviously be the best mechanic... I know it sounds stupid but that is the prevailing attitude at many OEM dealerships. If you wanted to be recognized as legitimate tech you had to have a big shiny box full of expensive tools. The reality however is that that job is 75% just changing tires, bolting on chrome, swapping exhaust, changing oil, and stroking customers egos. A trained monkey could do it, but the Illusion was that we are serious high performance engine shop ready to build you your dream machine, why just look at all these big shiny tool boxes, these guys really know their shit...
I picked up the Husky tool box on the right at Deep Homo on a "scratch and dent" deal for $700.
The Kobalt shelf/drawer unit on the left came from a local surplus and salvage outfit called "Mardens". Paid right around $100 IIRC.
I can't even imagine paying $5K or more for a tool box, even if I was ass-deep in money. Makes no sense to me.
