Ok the 15yr old is FINALLY showing some interest in mechanical things. We picked up a Silverado beater for him to fix up. Dad has a pretty extensive tool collection. Its not that I dont want him using mine, but in a few years he will be moving on. I'd like to start putting together a decent set of his own. Having his own might spark further interest. All my stuff is out in MY BARN and I guess I yelled too much early on when my welding chipping hammers would disappear that he "borrowed" to never return to chip ice, dig a hole, chase a chicken and I'd find them with the mower. He will be home all Summer and is hesitant to head out to the shop if I'm not there.
I see Craftsman has some VersaStack options. I like the idea of a slot/space for everything so it might actually get put back int he right place. But I pitched all my blow mold cases because they fell apart and have a couple chests. I'd like something portable that will last or at least the case could be replaced, going to college? Say $250-300 for wrench and sockets to start, Craftsman/GearWrench quality, not SnapOn. I've got a couple Tekton things I've been happy with.
Open to suggestions.
