where to buy "made in USA" Stainless tool storage units?

[juddski88]

I've looked at dozens of sites, many high end, custom garage storage companies, and figured I'd ask for your opinions on what you believe to be the best company for quality, service, and value. I don't want a snap on or the name brand stuff. I am looking for tool cabinets and chests to build into my custom workbenches in the new shop.

Thanks,
Tim

Made in china is fine if they work well. We just won't tell the shop manager

Lista cabinets is one of the only made in USA offerings I am aware of. Kind of the gold standard as far as high end tool storage is concerned.

Try moduline.

I want to deal with GarageToys.com...good small business. But the ones i like are discontinued.

Tim they are not not made in USA but are very nice and if you dont mind putting them together the stainless tool bench work cabinet i just got at Sam club is very nice for the money 399 has a 72 buy 18 by 1.5 solid oak top.1 of the workers told us a guy bought 4 and bolted them all together for his shop wall as 1 long continuous work bench.The part that sucks is you have to asseble the whole thing.I posted a pic of it in the tool box thread.

I don't want a wood top, and my tables are taller than average so that there's no hunching over...they also are being built to store as much under them as possible. The floor plan is open, with additional shelving at 8ft high around the perimeter of the building, to keep parts in sight, but within reach

Tim, I'm telling you to check out moduline. They are local to me and make some incredible stuff. Family owned company and all made in the good old U.S. of A.atriot:

^^^^^^ I just checked out there website and very nice. I wish I had the money to set up my garage with some.

 

[juddski88]

Moduline is just as expensive as Lista, lol. The ones I found were 10% of that cost and handmade in the USA

 

[Evan@InglewoodTrans]

Those moduline sure look nice though.

 

[juddski88]

I should just start my next new career as a pimp today to start saving for them.

I'm going to see if Obama will pay for them for us.

I would have to hire a minority, or a robot, then we would be eligible

I've seen their stuff and it is top notch. If you're looking to built the ultimate garage then they are the way to go but they are definitely pricey. Company was started because the kid was racing motocross and the father hated how messy their trailer was. He was a fabricator and built a set of cabinets for their trailer. Then they built a few for other racers and now they do all this stuff.

Certainly are nice, and I'm sure they are heavier gauge than others I've found for cheaper, but I don't need the bombproofer5000, just simple, quality chests and cabinets that don't flake

I have a quite a few from these guys:

As mentioned earlier they are awesome. They make my Snap On roll cab look like Harbor freight in comparison and at much more reasonable cost. Here is a pic of my reloading room before I junked it all up:

It's been a while, but I have a source to add to this discussion for future users...

Vault makes some wild product, but they will invoice about on par with first born/favorite appendage (ok...maybe second favorite).
