Made in the U.S.A.

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.

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" :lol:

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. :D

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.
