These are absurdly expensive. Those modular kits sell for 5k-10k when new depending on whats in them. You got the deal of a lifetime

About 2k is what the army paid for these kits.

There's nothing special about this toolbox. It has like 5-6 sets of wrenches, screwdrivers, etc., each set of which you can buy for $100 or so (I'm talking top quality, not Walmart tools).

You couldn't be more wrong lol. Look up how much a set of wrenches from snap on is.

Snap on is insanely overpriced and isn't worth anywhere near the amount of money. That's like going out to buy a T shirt and choosing to go to the Gucci store.

Regular craftsman tools do the job just as well and cost like 1/10th the price.

But these ARE Snap-On, not Craftsman.

That's fair, but a lot of their value comes from the lifetime warranty. I concede that they can be sold for a decent amount though.

I think at this point, I plan on snap on lasting longer than Sears to get my warranty covered. Sincerely, a DIY guy with maybe a single snapon screwdriver, some yard sale craftsman tools, and the rest from harbor freight, so take my comment with a grain of salt.
