I bought this Craftsman tool chest about six years ago. It was made in China. Yesterday I ordered the bottom cart that goes with it and noticed it was made in Missouri.

It is sitting in the hallway now on an upside down tanker desk. I can’t wait to finish painting so I can get the hobby room back to functioning.

I like painting. I think because if you paint for an hour you can stand back and see an hours worth of work. My last job was not like that.

Don't mind painting but wouldn't want to make it my career.

My son was a commercial painter for over 10 years. Way back when he quit doing that, he said..." I don't ever want to touch a paint brush or sprayer again"

I purchased one last year that was also made in the USA. I had an old one that I've had for forty years and they match pretty good. I wanted to paint the old one as it had faded and corroded a little, so I matched the paint. It was "Banner Red". It came out perfect. The new one has the easy close drawers.

My upper Craftsman toolbox is nearing 50 years old and is the ole Silver/Gray color. Had it set on a wooden cart most of that time. The cart finally gave out and I replaced it with a red lower tool box about 5 years ago. Don't know where the red lower was made.
