You'll want one that has some wide shallow drawers. The yellow one in the add has deep drawers...which would be good for keeping power tools, but not so good for keeping smaller hand tools like wrenches, sockets and screw drivers.

This one:

Would be a better starter box. Assorted drawer sizes...one deep one for power tools. $400 ain't a bad price for a Snap-On box too.

I've seen two smaller rolling tool chests at walmart, one for ~$70 and the other for ~$100. For DIY work on a car you probably don't need anything very big or expensive to start.

I second. We use giant tool boxes with shallow drawers to work on jets. That red one in the van looks like a winner to me.
