I'm in the auto customizing business, I was testing the manufactures claim of how strong the drawers are. Have you ever pulled a few drawers out with heavy tools in it? most tool boxes will tip over. I'm a person who's curious and will question manufacturers specs due to past experience. I did the same with my 348.... and got different #'s, the good thing was my time was better than what was tested in Road and Track. Probably due to lighter wheels and better gripping tires. |

I'm in the auto accessory and customizing business. Have you ever tried pulling a few drawers with heavy tools in it? most tool boxes will tip over! I was curious to see if what the toolbox company said was true of how strong the drawers are. Hey I'm a person who will question specs on the things I buy so I can be the person who will have the true answer for things, ya know! I also did the same for my 348 and beat Road & Tracks times, he he but probably to lighter wheels and better gripping tires... |

Can the drawer hold a 300lb. person with it fully extended! mines does! I'll show you a pic tomorrow. Don't miss this one out Nika! and I got this one for a little over $3000. and worth every penny. The one shown in the Griot's garage don't look much better than a Sears tool box, especially for the money. I use a variety of tools from snap on, matco, Mac, and some from Sears. |
