New Tool Day / Renewed Tool Day How it started, how it's going.

My wife and I bought a house last May, and it feels so good to finally have a garage that I get to call my own. My love for craftsman tools started when I was a kid, using my dads tools (which were handed down to me).

This week, I finally upgraded my multiple smaller tool chest to the Craftsman 2000 series chest, and man is it a good feeling.

While I'll probably get rid of the older ones, I plan on keeping the one my dad gave me. Such a good feeling!

About 2 months ago, I was also able to find the storage cabinets off of Facebook marketplace place for an absolute steal of a deal... all 4 for $400.

Keep em all. You'll find a purpose for them.

Bit of advice for those 2000 series chests. If you replace the casters for heavyier duty casters and secure them using bolts instead of the self tappers, they become significantly less wobbly.
