Got this old tool box, spent way more time than I wanted to fix it.

Was looking for a tool box on market place, didn’t want to spend a lot, didn’t want to travel far to get it. Saw this for sale 2 miles from my house, at a reasonable price. Arranged to meet the gentleman to pick it up. By the time we met, it was dark and staring to rain. The box was outside under a tarp. It looked rough, the draws did not work well, but I liked the draw configuration. I offered him half what he wanted, and he was happy. When I got the box home, it was much worse condition than it appeared with my flash light. I spent much more time than I wanted yo fix it, plus bought lots of spray paint, wire wheels, sanding pads,etc.. had to remove and wire wheel every draw slide, and the the receiver tracks on the draws and box. It seems to be working well now, glad it’s done

Workbench vs toolbox?

Just bought a house where the garage needs renovating, and decided to go with a nice tool storage setup and stainless work surface. Can’t decide on whether to go with a nice modular workbench system such as Rousseau, Dragonfire, etc or a big modular toolbox system like Icon, US General, etc. I don’t need it to move around except to maneuver it into permanent location. Either seem like they could do the job, just interested in hearing various opinions on bench vs box as well as the brands you have had good success with. Thanks in advance!
