The most predictable Harley-Davidson Anniversary co-branded products are of course special-edition tool storage chests. These ones by Craftsman, the official hand and power tool sponsor of the Harley-Davidson 110th Anniversary Celebration, and already available in Sears stores nationwide and online at Craftsman. craftsman.com. All units feature a black frame, official Harley-Davidson “vintage orange” drawer fronts and official Harley-Davidson decaling, including the Harley-Davidson bar and shield.

From Snap-On to Crafsman, enough said!
Harbor Freight has better quality boxes these days….. considering the Harbor freight stuff is probably built in the same building….lol
At least they are sticking with Made in China
too true MK
I doubt Boulevard or Star sell logo tool boxes.Their riders don’t need tools that much I guess.
This is awesome! Now I will have something in the garage to go with the logo ceiling fan in the living room, the logo toilet seat in the bathroom, the logo grill on the deck, the logo bedsheets in the bedroom, the logo card table in the basement, and the logo plates and glasses in the kitchen, and of course the closet full of logo clothes. Now if I only had a motorcycle…
Does H-D make regular tools? If not these tool boxes would be a good start.. But then again you could just keep H-D’s special tools in them.
A perfect addition to any suburban douche bag garage…the only thing I see missing is the compulsory diamond plate. Maybe I could make some diamond plate drawer liners? This is a perfect place for all the tools needed to bolt more chrome covers over my existing chrome covers when all my buddies come over on their black Street Glides! Awesome. This will go great with my black and orange kegerator!
This is a no brainer should have done this 25 years ago.
Both companies will sell these boxes to all the guys/gals who may not own a bike but wish to own one. Just as Ford added H-D emblems and trim package to their mega sized pick up truck mainly bought by non riders who wish to be cool.
With no proof to pull from, I guesstimate 1/4 of all H-D branded (non cycle) product is owned by non riders.
Keep in mind American Chopper has/ was kept on air and in business by largely the non riding public who buy all the imprinted goods at Wall Mart and other outlets.
So in closing these will sell well.
GOOD LORD…..when will people stop drinking the Kool Aid and giving their paychecks to the church of HD??

Got one – a 1983 model in HA red, added a Sonoma County support sticker inside the lid, with no identifying marks on the exterior.
Roller bearing extended trays are what’s important, because when your yanking them back and forth all day, any less than roller-bearing action will drive you nuts.
Why buy Craftsman when you really want roller-bearing Waterloo tray action? Because, in this case, Waterloo is Craftsman. They were back then, and apparently are today.
The clever devils put their trademark right in our face (above) – with the lower box “end panel” (an I-beam “look” with the side-perimeter rails overlapping the table top and bottom panel).
In the bottom right corner, on the right side of the box, look for a engraved stamp that says:
“The end panel configuration is a registered trademark of Waterloo Industries, Inc.”
This H-D, Craftsman, 9-drawer is a Waterloo box, I can see it from here.
Also. The “Craftsman” looks like a sticker that can be pulled. The glue residue is easily removed with Goof Off.
My “Craftsman” top-box had pewter script with clips (inside) – like the “Duo-Glide” fender script I have, that will cover the (2) existing 5/32 powder-coated holes, if I drill (2) new ones. 🙂
