Top drawer. Note the support divider that snap-on burns in their promo videos. I LOVE it. Perfect for metal socket trays to hang on. Part of the reason i didnt buy another krl

Here's my at home box. Some kind of KRL thing thats got dale jr stuff on it. Not a nascar fan, but whatever.

I have kind of a cart fetish, i hate walking for tools. At all. So i have like 5 between home and work. Here are a few

Matco thing

Mac cart i modified. It came with a locking top lid, i thought that was retarded. So i flipped it upside down, drilled four holes in it, and put it underneath as a shelf. It is supported by hose clamps. It is awesome for sorting bolts and parts during big jobs, speeds things up pretty good.

Heres some random metal cart that is completely indestructable. Dont know where it came from, or who made it, but i love it

I really like the orange. The kick plate looks good with the stainless top. I've been ordering all my boxes with the color matched kick plate. I have a 4s in orange with black trim on the truck. The more that I look at it I think a black kick plate would loot trick.

WOW! You have one hell of a nice set-up.

That Matco is beautiful! and that Snap On is very nice too, you sir have some excellent taste in tool boxes. Thanks for posting.

The Matco dealer by my work had a 6S with a black frame with orange drawers on his truck this week. The more I think of it, the more I can't wait until next week to thoroughly check it out, we'll see...

Matco orange is the best of the big three for sure. I like it. I like it even more because every box in every shop i have ever worked in is either boring red, blue, black, or a few green ones.

The box i traded in for this one was the same color, a 7525 with stainless. I thought about changing it up, trying a new color, but i would HATE to spend that much and not be happy with the color.

So i opted for guaranteed satisfaction- bright orange!

I love the 6S Matcos, especially in the Orange, Orange-Black, or Black Orange combo. Burgundy and Black looks good too. They are just some nice boxes.
For now I have a 4325S which is a pretty good box for its price, someday I'll move up.

That's a great looking Matco box!!!

I've seen everyone toss those plastic Mac cart lids but, you're the first person I've seen that put the lid to good use.

 

[Zrexxer]

Dammit, just when I get satisfied with the boxes I have, you come in here with that gorgeous orange Matco and start the yearning all over again!

Here is my gloriously disastrous bay in the midst of a two month mash-unit broken car jamboree.

honestly, i take pride in my cleanliness. But now, Make money. Clean later.

Wow those are some big tongue and groove pliers

Wow those are some big tongue and groove pliers

They are knipex too... they are the chuck norris of my pliers drawer. Comes in handy. I used them that day to hold the cam sprockets of a dohc 2.4 stratus to torque the sprocket bolts. Works great.

 

[scbird94]

The silver matco cart got demoted to home use. It got in my way too much.

The smaller one with the giant knipex now lives at works, because i dont care about it and i can throw things at it

What happened to the F-150 in post 10?

Are they the XXL Cobras? Part number 87 01 560?

 

[scbird94]

What happened to the F-150 in post 10?

5.4l eternal head gasket oil leak. Bad enough that it leaked onto the exhaust and smoked.. bad.

Done a few, not a bad job. Pays like 19 hours. I think i closed the ticket with 12 hours physical time on it.

Not sure. Giant knipex (cobra?) pliers with a red handle. I guess could look at the number but they are at work and i am at home at the moment.

They are handy as hell, i know that much for sure
