I do disagree to a point. When someone is happy they are more efficient. When they have pride in their equipment and confidence in their ability they tend to be more effective. If you come into work everyday and that box just makes you smile and you’re proud of being the owner than regardless of the mood stepping in you’re morale will increase. That makes you more efficient/effective making you more profitable.

You can get a cheaper box, get quality tools, get a Snap On service cart with the top slide, to move around the shop. It’s been months since I don’t have any tool payments and it’s awesome.

The Icon is a good garage box or for the 10 year tech for the money and size. Once you accumulate the tools you need and want over the years then you get the nice Epiq for the last half of your career. The Icon only being 25" deep is a deal breaker for me. Also the fact that they are made in China or Taiwan means when you purchase one you are funding communists. I'll stick with my Epiq and add on as I need while supporting American workers

@@djr3485 True. I'm in the U.K, and if you want a large toolbox, the only choices are Snap On and Mac ( particularly if you want a proper hutch instead of a top box). We do have one tool brand called Sealey which markets a couple of large boxes... I bought a 5ft and 6ft wide roll cab with topboxes from my local autoparts store..they were heavily discounted and coveniently keyed alike because they are the models that were used for the photography for the Sealey catalogue. Apart from a couple of minor dents and a few chipped corners they are in excellent condition and I did get them really cheap. They must be pre production models, because although externally they have Sealey logos, the lid of the 5 ft box reveals that it is a re- branded Montezuma. I don't wield a wrench every day to earn my living, so realistically I don't need an 84 inch Epiq and these two boxes should be tough enough for my needs.....but a man can dream, and that gloss black and atomic green livery just looks so stunning. I've just ordered a roll of vinyl wrap in that green colour, and im going to wrap some aluminium angle to.make corner protectors to hide most of the paint chips.....if it turns out O.K I'll do the drawer pulls to match.....kind of like my dream box, but much cheaper!

Why do auto techs not do more box mods? I am an Industrial Electrical Maintenance Tech. I have modified all of my boxes to fit my needs. Later, when money permitted, I would get a newer or a bigger box. I just bought a second full-size, two-bay box for work. I immediately bought extra drawers and swapped out some of the bigger drawers with multiple small drawers in order to accommodate more tools, but with a smaller, cheaper box. You can also add drawer slides on most boxes whose drawers only come with one pair. I once tore my Waterloo box down and completely wired power inside of it, so that no matter where I was in the plant I could have all of my stuff plugged in. Phone charger, radio charger, receptacle, hard mounted battery charger. You couldn't see anything but the receptacle and the battery charger.

I have a 68" Epiq in Deep Cranberry with blackout trim, casters, and badges. Just got it in December. Has power drawer and speed drawer. Ordered a black textured power/lighted top when I got the box but still waiting. Ordered a hutch and light off the R&R cab last month, they said it would take 6 to 8 months to get. In the fall my shop is adding 2 more bays then I will have room to add the 36" lower and upper end cabs and 2 lockers. Sure it will be spendy but I bust my ass and make damn good money, so why not have something nice that fits my needs and wants and keeps me more organized? To those that say buying a Snap-on, Mac, or Matco box is a waste of money, you are 2/3 right. The Mac and Matco are made with global components and assembled in the USA, so in my opinion those 2 are a waste. Those that say just buy a Chinese Icon or some other box store brand box, you must be fairly new in the industry and don't have many tools or work on one specific brand vehicle and only need a few tools. I have always worked in independent shops and work on everything but Teslas, so I have the need for large tool storage. For me the Snap-on epiq is the best option.

The drawer latches are so much better than the stupid detent drawer slides on my old Mac that I warranties out twice in 10 years and were in need of it again. I thought the power drawer would be w a step space but it's much nicer keeping all my expensive batteries and lights secured while keeping the top of my box clutter free.
