Kreg Toolboxx alternative.

[Tim Cottle]

Here is an alternative if you don't need the screws, and don't want to pay the shipping. It is empty, but about $30.00 cheaper. I am not sure how many screws 30.00 gets you, but I actually prefer McFeely's. I wanted the toolboxx iteslf, and stumbled across this.

Strange but this was discussed tonight when meeting with some others to plan our local woodworker club meeting. One of the men had just bought a similar toolbox at Northern Tool for about $20, less than the Home Depot one which is lot better price than the Kreg. You might want to do some checking if there is a Northern Tool close.

The 20.00 one is an 18 inch model. This is the 34.00 one (northern tool) it is the same thing. http://www.northerntool.com/shop/too...3577_200493577

The deep model at the Home Depot link and Northern link is much deeper than the Kreg box.

I have bought 2 'deep' models at HD for $30. They also have a shallow one that is just like the Kreg box looks to also be $30 (?)
In case you were wonering, the fully-assembled Kreg jig screwed to a piece of 3/4" ply fits standing up in the deep model. The little containers that hold the screws are removable so you can take them out of the box to your bench.

I suggest you run, don't walk, to pick up a 'deep' model. It is perfect for the Kreg jig.

Looks like a good way to store the Kreg stuff. I guess the compartments would be useful for storing a few of each screw. I typically buy 1000 count boxes (not that I really go through that many, but I absolutely hate running out of something mid-project).
