Default Foose gets Mac tool box.

It looks similar to the Jesse James box, both are made in Taiwan.

The Jesse James boxes were made in the US at a factory here in Ohio.

And we wonder why our economy is failing. Let's spend 80 billion on a war and have a foose tool box made in taiwan. Ya that 500 dollar tax inentive is going to save the economy. Rant over.

I agree with the above statements. Having done some work in the MAC factory where the JJames boxes were made, I asked about how well they where selling. The plant manager told me that they sold extremely well. This was in the right at the peak of his fame however. Kind of interesting Chip doesn't mind that they were made in Taiwan.....

Looking at the boxes and tools I was guessing it was going to be pretty spendy....only $700 bucks seems like a good deal. Quality boxes cost that.

Joe440 did that bike 'FEEL' as huge as it looks?

ya that picture actually makes it look smaller than what it is. Chip was telling us the first time he test drove it he couldnt even turn it around on his street because the turning radius was so bad.
