Well, just in case none of the vendors takes you up on this, here's 
another suggestion:
Next time Sears has a tool sale, go check out the automotive tool kits 
that they carry. You can find them in all price ranges, and they come 
in nice plastic cases that fit easily in the trunk. Here's a trick: go 
to a craft store and get two short pieces of large Velcro--the kind 
with adhesive on the back. Throw away the "loop" half and stick the 
"hook" strips on the back of the toolbox.  You will find that they grip 
tightly to the carpet in the trunk, keeping the tools from sliding 
around the boot, thus eliminating one of the standard sources of 
front-end "klunk" syndrome.
