This is actually one of my very first posts here, I'm an apprentice tech, 2nd and last year in school, studying Auto Technology.
I live in an apartment and operate completely mobile, doing repairs/maintenance at the parking lot, my friend's driveways, including roadside assistance!

I have two 3-drawer tool chests, one is Homak Professional, $50 at amazon, the best tool chest ever. The other one is Craftsman Rally box, got it from craigslist from an older gentleman, finally husky tool carrier, again from craigslist... And also I have several walmart buckets for oil/trans fluid changes, also use them to carry various spray cans to the jobsite...

Here's top section of the main chest, pliers, screwdrivers, bits, driver, pick-up tools, mini-files, finger bit drivers...
35275

first drawer, craftsman 12pt raised panel wrenches, flare nut, adjustables, ratcheting...
35276

second drawer, 3/8 metric regular/long sockets, standard regular sockets, various extensions, palm ratchets, finger driver, also treadlocks, sealant and anti-seize
35277

bottom drawer, 1/4 set, mini pliers, pens/marking stuff, hex keys, electrical tape, silicone self-fusing tape. (I honestly stopped using zipties under the hood, silicone tape is much more durable and clean looking)
35278

Here's the secondary chest upper area, tweezers, gearwrench xl pliers, gearwrench T-handle driver, micrometer, caliper, butane soldering iron, cable stripper etc...
35279

first drawer, trim removal tools, jb welder (!), electrical bits and connectors
35280

second drawer, oil change, radiator and trans fluid change tools. I refuse to work on any cooling system without the constant tension clamp pliers!
35281

07-10-2009, 02:30 AM

bottom drawer, not commonly used wrenches, craftsman metric 6-pt (used as striker wrenches), metric offset double box, large sized ratcheting and S-type wrenches, also standart hex driver bits.
35282

also my service tool carrier, hammers, gloves, fluke meter, re-threading kit, dremel kit, mini grease gun, sanding sponges and 1-minute gasket maker (that stuff is good!)
35283

finally step stools used as kneeling assists or stands for the chests, bucket, clear pvc tubing, brake cleaners, penetrants...
35284

I was in need of a tool box set so my dad told me to take my grandfathers stuff that was laying in the garage. I am in the process of cleaning and restoring his tools, so I am getting my box painted then all the tools will have a good home!

I cant paint worth shit so the paint is getting farmed out. The first box is my top chest. I cant recall the type. Hopefully when it is sanded down the model number will reveal itself.

When she is all done I will take a pic of it with the tools in her too.

vim tools - v444

Thats not it, mine has plastic 1/4 turn posts, not metal clips. I would like to find the OEM though because I could probably get it cheaper. I would like to have one each for SAE impact and metric. I would get Hanson trays but my 1/2" SAE impact set goes from 3/8 to 1 1/2" and I haven't found a tray that will hold that many.

Retired my 35+ year old Craftsman, gray with red sliders and sold my 20+ year old Craftsman, red with dark gray sliders.

Found this mint vintage 1984 Snap-On set, KR527, KR537, KR547, and KR557 plus side fold away tool tray for $750 on CL.

A retired Honda cycle mechanic kept it spotless. :bounce:

I've been looking for one of those center sections for mine for a long time.Great box,I've had mine for a long time,ordered 4 new sliders this week and a caster,rep says it'll be warranty.:thumbup:

I see youre in Chicago. UTI perhaps? Where are you working at?

I'm in Triton College, doing the Toyota T-TEN program. Right now trying to find a dealer for the apprentice work part for the second year. We have 'regular' Auto Technology degree, GM and Toyota programs at Triton, but we all take pretty much the same classes, GM guys also have extensive web and video training. I think GM is light years ahead when it comes to technician training, they seem to realize that you gotta start the building process from the foundation instead of the top floor! Now, Toyota is re-structuring their training to keep up with GM! Although I'm originally from europe (yes i think in metric and have an accent:shocking:) and share the common international disinterest towards american cars, i think the worst for GM is over, pendulum is starting to swing the other way.

Doing great in school, straight A's and stuff but the hiring people couldn't care less about the grades or school, everybody seems more interested in how many tires i busted, how many front ends i replaced, etc... I got 4 ASE certs, working on the rest...

I kinda thought it'd be nice to get a manufacturer credential with the 2-year associate degree, since it's free. So, looking for both GM and toyota dealers right now, but even with my instructor's references, no luck so far.

Anyways, here's couple of photos from my last craigslist score, only $45 !
Cleaned it up, lubed the casters, sliders, applied eastwood's rust encapsulator on the bottom, and brushed a little into the stamped date and code... This thing is almost double the thickness when compared to the ones displayed at sears right now. I know i'm too young to say this but sure enough they don't make them like they used to no more! Sadly enough I don't have any extra tools to fill it up, gotta start working on my second set of tools...

is that a krw series riser on a krl 1000 series box? was thinking of going this option with my krl1022[/QUOTE]

Uh, I dunno.:headscrat I think it is a KRWL54** something. I don't remember the exact model number because it was blue when I bought it and I had the painter at work shoot it red. The sticker with the serial/model number is long gone. I can tell you this much, The roller is a KRL1001A, making it 54"X29"X45". The riser is 54"X24"X24" I think. If you're interested, I'll throw a tape measure at it tommorrow at work.

It's kinda hard to see in the pics, but the vise has to be in a certain spot to miss the door. I put witness marks on it for this reason. Just FYI.

Oh, The riser was one of the early, plain versions. I added the aluminum trim to it and the locker. Just a scotchbright pad for the correct grain pattern(close enough anyway) and some clear poly. Feel free to contact me if you'd like more detailed pics.:beer:

Here's my HF box (oh no!) with my tools. Some old, some new. Only a few snap-on pieces (even a couple of black hard handles), some domestic stuff and some chi-com stuff. All in all, it gets it done for me. I drive a desk professionally, but do maintain a '93 corrado, a '93 F-250 IDI, a Ford 500 and a chrysler minivan with this meager set of tools. Yes, I have plenty of near-empty drawers!

It's nothing like the rest of the collections here, but they do serve a purpose --- as in giving me something to covet, er, I mean strive for...:lol_hitti

I also included a couple of pictures of my "go-bags". I have a general, an electrical and a plumbing bag for the go-to-stuff.

Electric Orange KRL1022 I recently bought for $3K........still need to decide/order/buy new socket/wrench holders and transfer tools from old boxes..............

I was SO CLOSE to ordering the 56" EXTREME combo (Bottom/Top) for $1600, but this came along. Hope I'm ultimately happy with my decision. This should be the last box I ever buy. Would be nice If I can get good resale.

(Picture shows sellers tools, which I did not buy)

Leaning toward the HANSEN socket holders, but like everything else in my life I always procrastinate and can never decide.

I picked up inside my trailer as I figured loading in/out of my pick-up was just too difficult and didnt want to hurt anything/anybody............

Well I have only had them out a few time's since i got them. So far they seem good to me, They clean up well feel nice on the hand; I am able to turn them with oil in my hands well. They look pretty :lol_hitti

I can not really say more then that till I have some time alone with them.. The regular Instinct handles I have are doing well, They do mark a little easier then the hard handle ones; But that is to be expected.

Sorry to disappoint, I don't own a Slide ruler. I am a pen and paper man myself. I do not draft professionally so the basics do me fine.

Plus being dyslectic all those little numbers would be a pain in the butt!

I'm old enough to have actually learned how to use a slide rule. Since that was right when the first pocket scientific calculators were coming out...I never much saw the point.

Wow, you are old :eek2:

Like when you got your kids school supply list and it said they need a calculator and you got them an abacus.

nelstomlinson,

There are not many people on this board who would know what an addiator is. I still have mine at work, in the original fake leather pouch and the original pen with the brass stylus on the end to run the numbers up and down in the tracks. I wore several of them out over the years until the old HP 11C came out and I retired it. Now almost all of us use Jobber 5 calculators and computers

Cool, thanks:thumbup: Also I hear you on the 24/7/365 deal. Haven't had a real day off in months. 12hr days are the norm. during harvest those hours get ridiculous. I work for my family in the LI wine business. No time for chasing down tools, or mobile service techs majority of the time. Plus once you have a sufficient tool collection, a LOT of money can be saved not having to pay $120/hr field labor rates to the mobile service guys, not knocking them - as I'm fast becoming one myself out of neccesity.

What is the definition of a sufficient tool collection? I am not sure it is achievable! I think it is an obsession!:headscrat

Ron

Paumanok

08-02-2009, 09:37 PM

Hahaha, I meant sufficient, that is up until you don't have the right tools/equipment for the job, then its time to bust out the wallet and buy some new stuff, or depending on the cost call the service guys. I'll go the route of investing innew tools and equip whenever I can afford it, and know that job will need to likely be performed again in the future. And who doesn't like buying tools.:lol_hitti

It is definately an obsession, but an enjoyable one.

rgates

08-02-2009, 09:49 PM

It is 2 boxes on top not three. I already had the 1203 as a spare. Adding the 1251 was the most sensible thing to do.

Nice toolsets you guys have.:thumbup:
A lot of Snap on & Mac, very nice indeed, and probably quite expensive.
Most sets dwarf my small toolcart (But being in Europe and not driving an american car I don't need an extra SAE toolset :lol_hitti
:)
http://www.xs4all.nl/~audio/zooi/c5/gereedschapskar.jpg
It's a Kraftwerk set (probably not known in the US). Probably all made in Taiwan :headscrat
The cart and drawers are pretty OK though.
Snap on and Mac tools are very expensive here in Europe, and pretty hard to obtain.
Here we have Gedore Hazet and Facom as major brands for professionals :)

GuidoK

08-03-2009, 01:52 PM

Ever bought something here ? http://www.toolsandstorage.com/ (NL)
No, but they have a nice sorting of tools (i like the red/black inlay toolmodules).

I bought my cart at [url]http://www.rustbuster.nl/Kraftwerk_set/Rustbusterkar.htm (http://eng.kraftwerk.eu/)
I liked the fact that this cart has 8 drawers. Most carts are 7 drawer (5 low for modules and 2 for big or special tools) or 11 drawer (10 for modules, 1 for big tools). In this cart you have 1 extra drawer for special tools compared to the 7 drawer carts :).
I also like the feel of chrome tools (like snap on) more than the feel of matte tools (like Hazet); easier to clean too. The spanners / wrenches in this kraftwerk set are not as slender as say a hazet wrench though. So probably a bit heavier too.
But that's somehow always the dilemma in choosing a toolset: do I take a complete cart/set from one brand (same tool styling, nice modules, often good packet deals), or do I buy a cart, and individual tools from your favorite brands for that tool, and make your inlays or use generic storage inlays.
The last takes a lot of time, is sometimes pretty expensive, and some inlay's will be hard to get or will have different styling.
Buying a complete set on the other hand will almost always include tools you just don't need but are still included in the set.

I have the same Cman trays. I know they take up a lot of space, But I really like having my sockets spaced out nice and even. Its a very neat drawer. Plus I think they are more secure than the hansen trays. There is NO chance it is going to tip over if the box gets bumped or somthing like that.

yah, but you could fit 5 or 6 hansen's in one drawer. and packed in tight, and with the weight of the sockets, i couldnt see them tipping.

not very cost effective i'll admit

I have come to the opinion that I own way to much stuff. So I'm gonna do some garage cleaning and try to get reorganized to my liking. This should make the wife happy also.

My new toolbox. Sold my top and bottom homak black/gold for the HF 41" because itll give me more options to extend the toolbox out. Plus the HF was a better quality. Overall :beer:

I bought this vintage 1950s(?) Snap On tool box from my uncle's neighbor who was an old Chevy mechanic in Ft Worth. It came with quite a few 50's vintage Snap On, MAC, Plomb and Cornwell tools from the 50's as well. This will probably my main box as long as I am still kicking!

I like mine, but don't use it daily.
I use mine daily, as well as my HF tools carts, and overall they have been good. The lock on my top box did fail, and i had to go buy a craftsman one and make it work by doing some cutting and welding of the latch parts, but not a huge deal. The only other complaint i have is that the lock system is different between the three pieces, so when i wanted to rearrange my drawers, i had to do some fabrication and modifications to move/add latches to make it work.

anyway on to some pics:

No, done by friend of mine named Herb Martinez. He was just messin around. I told him to go ahead and go at it so the backside of my 1023 has a nice pinstriped design. It's been in a few photo shoots and videos. The right side is striped too.

There's alot of Gearwrench in that box for someone who doesn't want to fund Chinese aircraft carriers.:lol:

As I recall, Gearwrench comes from Taiwan, Republic of China. Those Chinese are our allies.

The Chinese aircraft carriers that we <B>don't</B> want to fund are on the other side of the Formosa Straits, in the People's Republic of China

That use to be the case but now most Gearwrench production has moved to mainland China and unfortunately there has been a noticeable quality drop because of it.

"Working" would be putting it softly, it's covered in dents and scratches, even the top of the lid is scratched down to the metal. The side has a nice dent and scrape in it from when it fell over when i was loading it into a van. It sure aint "clean". :)

sorry... my boss like me and want keep me there.. he are glad that he hired me...

most of time i work are serious engine repairs like tear down the engines in vehicles, swap engine for new engine as customers request or Airport request... I just got 2006 E350 that need new engine because Indianapolis Airport keep driving the E350 and just happen to locked up but what i was told that they did serviced it but they found out it has no oil in engine... they want me to replace the engine...

right now i need finish put all parts back on 2001 Lincoln LS 3.9L engine because secondary tensioner's plastic broke off on left cylinder head and let secondary chain loose. i did tested the cylinder leakdown, all exhaust valves are bent. so i did pulled head out and check on pistons- it is good. machine shop did rebuilt it after they did test the valves- they had to replaced all valves. so i only need put some of parts back before i can start it and drive out... then i can start to pull engine out of E350... i already like to do engine replacements... because i keep myself busy while other techs are sit and waiting for next work to do...

Yes and no. I personally am not supposed to sell Snap-on over the internet. If you want to visit my website and register as one of my customers and place an order then I will get credit for the sale I will be grateful.

My Cornwell dealer told me he wasn't supposed to sell online either. he can buy tools and sell them to whomever he wants technically. He just cannot have an official website store.

I buy from Snap-on online sometimes, I will check with you before the next time I order, so as you can get credit.:beer:

wow... i only spent about 3,000 to 5,000 dollars a year since 2004... Most of tools and tool boxes are used as i pay less than retail prices...

i am still single but i dont even start to date a girl.... too busy for me right now... i am still enjoy riding my harley and keep wrenching.... most of my friends already either date or married... they keep ask me when i will date a girl...

my tech friend at shop married a former stripper..even his ex-wife is former stripper too... he is good tech as work same what i do but he work most of diesel.....
