My toolboxes are Gerstner. Kennedy is for the apprentice. When your tools are in a Gerstner, you've arrived in paycheck.Gerstner is in Dayton, Ohio by the way.
I'll stand corrected then. I'm not a devout any brand person except for precision tools and then it's LSS, Weber or Mitituyo.
I have 4 roll around boxes with top chests, lets see, a Waterloo and 3 old line Crftsman plus 2 Gerstners, one mahogany and one oak, 3 lathes 2 milling machines, 2 surface grinders, a 3 axis CNC Haas, a LeBlond Frequency controlled servo shift, various presses, Mig, Tig, Smaw, OA, plasma, spray arc and a CNC plasma table not to mention 3 compressors, 2 reciprocating and one rotary..... and a couple employees too.Air conditioned in the summer and heated (floor heat) in the winter. I like to be comfortable and productive.
To think I started out in pre fabricated garden shed.![]()
Gerstner makes a fine box ( as does kennedy) but you have to watch as Gerstner has an Import line now. Bugs me that these companies import from China and trade under their historic name. Its beyond ironic when you consider these companies cut their teeth and gained their reputation in the american manufacturing industry, yet by offshoring are doing their best to undermine that very thing.
