No idea, but I know it weighs an awful lot empty; took a couple people to roll it off the truck and up into the shop where it now sits. The main lower drawer section alone is supposed to weigh just under 1,000 lbs. empty, without all the add on sections.

Right now, an awful lot of money is living in it if the form of a life time's accumulation of tools.

I can only imagine how much that is in tools. At least 30k am I right? Probably more? They're your livelihood so it's worth it for the warranty alone I'm sure.

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.

In this game, you can never be too thin, too rich, or have too many tools.
