Lets see pictures of your tool box organization

Harbor freight vs MAC vs Snappy
Your favorite roto ratchets? I'm guessing MAC considering location

Yeah; the 100 tooth Mac's are my favorite. However the other rotos are Gearwrench; in fairness to Snap On I have never used their rotos.

 

[MechanicNamedJohn]

Mine isn't as nice as John's but I try and keep them clean and organized as well!! good looking box John

Nice set up. How do you like the stubby nut drivers?

 

[MechanicNamedJohn]

Dang MNJ, you ain't wastin' no time gettin' "un-harborfreighterized" are ya?

I bet everyone who's read that thread looked through each pic looking for the "surviving" HF tools.

LOL. There is still a good amount of HF in my box. Some will probably stay for a while.

John, you're an inspiration to us all. Sounds dumb, but I'm serious. I signed up here after a wrench friend of mine sent me your HF box post.

Carry on...

Wow, thats really pretty ****** cool

 

[jonwally]

Thanks. I've seen some pretty cool toolboxes on the fourm with some neat ideas. Just want to throw mine up there any see if it inspires anyone else.

 

[mattfunk]

MNJ - I am going to be honest I have only used them once which they were perfect and the best tool for the job. I don't wrench for a living so I find myself buying tools that would look "cool" in my tool box so I impulse bought them! Unfortunately my Mac tool man recently passed away so I may not have the opportunity to purchase anymore unless I buy online.

What are you guys using to organize your screwdrivers like that? Like a dish rack, but not?

I use a item made by Ernst Mfg. The screwdriver holder is item 6040. They make most of the tool holders I use; very customizable. I just cut them to fit after I laid out the screwdrivers and used double sided tape to stick them down.

Thanks! As you can probably gather, I prefer full polish.

Not sure I understand your question. I have the 45 degree deep offset wrenches.

[MechanicNamedJohn]

Added some items and rearranged the top drawer and screwdriver drawer.

 

[GTA Matt]

Typically my name and the word "organization" don't go hand in hand, but I've been trying to work on that and picking up some pretty good ideas. I think I would need a bigger tool box in order to lay all my screw drivers and pliers out so they aren't piled on top of each other. Need to take some updated pics as I've made a few changes and bought some more tools since these were taken.

 

[jonwally]

Nice socket tray layout John and Matt; looks very compact. Makes me want to rearrange mine now; try to kill some of the holes. Matt, is that a snap-on Verus scanner there?

 

[GTA Matt]

That's a snap on verdict scanner. I keep looking at John's box. Damn that white looks good!

 

[Requin6]

Very nice setups john and matt!

That white box is clean!

 

[MechanicNamedJohn]

Nice!

 

[SpiderGearsMan]

do you knock off work at 2:30 to detail your tools ?

 

[blacK20]

How do you guys that pull wrenches for a living keep your tools so clean? I would lose my shirt if I spent half an hour cleaning my tools everyday.

 

[MechanicNamedJohn]

12:30... I like to be home by 2:30.

They don't always look so clean Was a boring day when I took the pictures so had some time to clean and polish. But on any other day I just don't put the tool back till I have had time to give it a quick wipe. Keeps the grime out of the drawers and the other tools clean.

 

[Adam McLaughlin]

The white does look good!

 

[KoJo]

Added some items and rearranged the top drawer and screwdriver drawer.

That is an amazing collection John!!!
Look at all those nice Mac tools!

 

[MrSimba]

Just bought a new upper & lower box on offer at a price too good to resist! & spent far too many hours cleaning & organising!

 

[zkling]

Mr. Simba that is very nice, extremely well organized

BTW, welcome to GJ
Do you reside in the states? I just haven't seen much of that stuff over here.
Looks like you need a few more extensions.

 

[MrSimba]

LOL! extensions by the time I'd bought some locking ones, wobble ones & ones that came with various sets ect there's a draw full!

Thanks for the welcome I'm in the UK & a long time 'lurker' of GJ but boy has it cost me a few £££'s having seen Knipex ect on here!!!

 

[fitz11]

I tackled my grinder disk and punch drawers today. I always had a hard time finding what I needed in these drawers. Here is what I came up with using only what I had on hand.

 

[KAOTIK Motorsports]

Mine will be coming soon guys....
On vacation for the next week....
