Sears had a "project center" (2 drawers; one cabinet; plastic top with storage; side peg holes and hangars) on sale for $69.99 + tax here. I've been wanting to get a nice chest for my detailing supplies but wanted to wait for the right sale. The PepBoy's "Big Red" brand just wouldn't cut it, so I never bought one. Of course, until today, when I got a Craftsman one. Therefore, I want to be stupid and share my joy.

There she is, all closed and looking good. On the side hangs a California car duster.

Top drawer has the el cheapo terry towels for cleaning carpeting, mats, and anything that isn't scratchable. Also is a new wash mitt, a new dusting thing (a gift), a tire brush, and the window cleaner that Al (Aldive) recommended in a previous review.

Middle drawer has all my PakShak microfiber towels, Sonus microfiber applicators, terry (free from Zaino) applicators, and Sonus microfiber bonnets for the Porter Cable DAP. They're all in plastic since they were stored last fall.

And in the bottom is a healthy supply of Zaino polishes (Z-5, Z-2 PRO, Z-6, ZFX and bottles, and I forget the numbers, but the car wash concentrate and the tire shine), the Porter Cable 7424, Sonus SFX pads (both 6" and 4" variety with backing plates), Sonus SFX polishes, Sonus Der Wunder Wasche, Sonus clay bars, some Bleche Wite, 303 Protectant, Meguiar's Quick Detail (whatever the professional designation is), and my K&N recharging kit (so I don't lose it).

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for summer... :thumbsup:

Way to make my appendage feel smaller, Monmix. LOL.
 






Looks nice Adam.
 






yeah but your wallet is much larger :(
 






I can't even imagine how much that Matco cost... :eek: My goal was just to have something I could wheel outside and back in.

And, in further evidence of my wallet's not so packed status, in less than two weeks I will be signing my letter of intent with a law school. In three years, I will owe the same amount that five 2005 Sport Trac Adrenalins would cost. Yikes. :confused: I know the responsible thing to do would be to save my money on things like those above, but I want to enjoy it while I still can. A year from now I will be living off of Ramen noodles 7 days a week.
 






I bought a black craftsman 3 piece a while back. It was on sale, had a mail in rebate, middle cabinet free, and I am a member of the craftsman club (10% off). I am proud of it even its its not snap-on or matco. Its 5'3" tall.

I, however, am not going to law school.
 






Nice, I like the way you have it stocked up.
