I've actually seen this box and it is very nice and definitely will last longer than most.

Anyway, I doubt you'd get an heirloom quality tool box for $125 nowadays. Julian, it does say “imported,” so I think we know the answer to your question…

No prob if it is, but that takes a bit of the craftsmanship out of it. For instance, the Machinist's wooden tool chest versions out of China seem to be made out of a much more dry wood species and are prone to cracked drawer faces, ect. They look great in the pictures though, but heirloom quality they are probably not. If these are made in the US, then maybe they are decent, and if so, that's not too bad a price for what you are getting. JT Is this another wonderful product made by the fine folks in China?
