Not even close. To give you some perspective, the 31 drawer lower tool cabinet alone (pictured separately above, no tools) currently sells for around $27K. Add in all of the other upper compartments and attached storage units, and you are over $100K, just for the empty tool box set up. Add in the hand tools, diagnostic equipment, impact tools, torque wrenches running from 0-15 inch pounds and up to 600 foot pounds, etc., and you pretty much have the price of a nice four bedroom house in a good neighborhood.

Unfortunately, when you are in the business, you have to have whatever you need for the next job that rolls in the door; and that ain't cheap.
