Storage Solution

I have been contemplating purchasing a job box or gang box. I was
wondering if I should spend the extra money on the greenlee or knaack?
I liked the construction of the Ridgid box and at about 75-100 dollars
less I wondered if it was a good deal. I also wondered about where to
find a hardened steel chain to lock it up once on site. Thanks Bill

Just a matter of preference on the boxes.

It's my understanding that case hardened chains come in predetermined lenghts.

You just don't reel it off and cut with chain/bolt cutters.

Then it's not case hardened.

Now this what I was told a long time ago.

Get a good lock too.

A dumb **** saying, but true; a chain is only strong as its weakest link.

I think the Ridgid boxes are the same as the Knaack. Ridgid and Knaack are both divisions of Emerson Electric.
