Any one know anything about these boxes. They look good and I have a line on one locally. What do they compare with?

I recently saw one of those IBT's at my farm surplus store and was kinda wondering if they were any good myself. Forgot to measure it up though.

They've been discussed here quite extensively. Quality seems to be good from what I've read, altho they have a made-in-Canada line and a much less expensive import line.

There are rumors the Canadian ones are Snap-On, or at least that at various points in time International has made boxes for Snappy. I can neither confirm or deny.

The price listed in your link of $2145 seems really high for a 41" combo, even w the "free" side locker. The Tool Warehouse pushes International pretty hard. Here's what appears to be the same thing for $1451 and free shipping:

and the import version for $905:

Finally, I'd search.

I just bought one of their higher end boxes yesterday. There is nothing about it that is the least bit similar to the parts in a snapon box. Then again it was only $550, not $2500 plus a 30" deep krl box would be used. It's along the lines of the craftsman professional boxes.

I had a hard time finding out anything about them, other than this ebay seller is out of his damn mind at 4k for the top box.

I was asking because I found a top / bottom combo locally for $600.
I would not pay even 1K for a lower end box.
