Your Choice of color, Tool box

[Dave Lehnert]

Have noticed Harbor Freight offering their Mechanics Tool Cart in many colors now. Their newest color. White.
Just for fun, If you were buying a tool box, What color would you pick? (please, No debate on what brand box is better)

I'll start.
I have always liked red for a tool box. Craftsman red

I do like the blue and orange too.

I’ve always been fond of Kennedy brown; I bought this one in the early 70’s. The little boy in the pic is 45 now..
To pick one from above, I’d go with black or red.

[Neil Gaskin]

I think I’d go blue. Maybe green.

[Keith Westfall]

Red as well. Old tool boxes - seemed you could have any colour you wanted as long as it was red, or maybe grey...

[Mike Kees]

To me tool boxes are supposed to be RED. However that blue one looks real good.

[Rick Potter]

REAL tool boxes are hammertone grey.

Now if you are talking about roll arounds, I might have voted differently. I have three red ones (older), and three black newer ones. Getting ready to give the older ones to the son.

[Gary Ragatz]

Wanted Craftsman red, but the black was on sale (probably because everyone else wanted the red, too) - so I have black. :(

[Mark Hockenberg]

Must have bought mine the same time as Gary :).

I bought black and I've always liked it. It shows dust more than the lighter colors.

I think the blue is also cool.

[Dick Mahany]

Tool boxes must be brown so that they still look okay when covered with sawdust :). The base cabinets are from 1983 and the uppers joined them in the 1986 time frame. Have served me well. The base cabinets were purchased for $25 each when the company I worked for was going to shut down, probably the best deal I ever had.

Black or maaaaaybe white. Not a fan of brightly colored anything for the most part.

+1. I have a few of these. My favorite color. I'm old though.

Measure twice, cut twice.

[Lisa Starr]

Got rid of all my tool boxes a few years ago. If I ever purchased another, I'd choose white to match the cabinets in my shop.

In my mechanic, and metalworking shop, I have different colored tool boxes for different categories. For this one, I'd choose yellow, since it will be used to move tools needed for a particular job close to where the work is. Since it will be in different places, yellow would make it stand maybe a little less of a chance for getting bumped into. I was actually looking at getting one of these just recently, and had decided on yellow, also since I don't have a yellow toolbox.

In my ideal shop, everything is white. Purely a lighting thing.

These old eyes need all the help they can get. Pet peeve: Microscopic black-on-black embossed symbols on "smart" phones, car stereo buttons, etc etc etc. Where's my loupe and 400W halogen lamp? Could ya make those symbols any LESS visible/decipherable as I hurdle down the highway at 65 mph? Why must I navigate through 19 layers of menus (in the dark) to turn up the brightness high enough on the "smart" phone screen for me to read anything, even at night???

[Darcy Warner]

I recently bought a green snap on box.

Those HF tool carts are decent, but after a couple years the 4 I bought were basically worthless.

[Rod Sheridan]

I agree Chris, although mine of course could never be considered the proper red.............So I'll vote for red as well......Rod.414103

[Dave Lehnert]

Looks like red is the favorite so far.

[Günter VögelBerg]

Orange. It's not even a question. That is the perfect shade of orange.

Thanks a lot, Chris! :) Now you've got everyone drooling. I just lost interest in tool boxes.

Dang that's sexy!
