Snap On Heritage Series/KRA are 20" deep. https://shop.snapon.com/product/KRA5311-Heritage-Series-Roll-Cabs-(53%22)/53%22-11-Drawer-Double-Bank-Heritage-Series-Roll-Cab-(Red)/KRA5311FPBO Extreme RX series used to be 20" i believe but I think they're all 25" deep now.

I’m not a Harbor Freight fanboy but their Bremen branded locking pliers are one of the hidden gems there. I don’t think you’ll be disappointed. https://www.harborfreight.com/hand-tools/pliers/locking-pliers/5-in-curved-jaw-locking-pliers-63867.html

The Snap On hard handles are a lot smaller in person than you’d think. They add a little bit of length but I wouldn’t consider them bulky.

You STILL gotta have SAE. A lot of automotive tools like pullers and presses still use SAE as well as a lot of aftermarket accessories. And as already mentioned trailers.

Used Armstrong or Craftsman professionals have smooth open ends. Gearwrench 81901 would also fit the bill if they haven’t moved those to China (yet).

If you like your FLF936 check out the Williams 3/8 flex(JHWB-52EHFB). Same internals, made in the USA almost half your budget. https://www.protorquetools.com/9-11-16-williams-3-8-dr-enclosed-head-ratchet-jhwb-52ehfb/?srsltid=AfmBOoqRXY58AmswC75rrSXVezKWtDjBIMJxvm4hEs3WFy4NW7jVyhLN

For taking back and forth to the job site it might be worth investing in another set of sockets in a blow molded case. I like Tekton’s cases a lot. As much as hate that Icon rips off other companies’ IP this master set with the removable foam trays is pretty sweet and it’s 40% off in store right...

Gearwrench are shallow broached. There’s also Williams USA. Single 1/4 deep sockets are between $7-8 at pro torque tools. You could economically build a set of just what you need.

For a mechanic the CAT 3 piece plier set is hard to beat. Part number is 233-1639. You get a pair of slip joint, a pair of needle nose and a pair of wire cutters made in the USA by Snap On for right around $100.

Rousseau has a 30”x21” 6 drawer tool cabinet. I can’t find if there is a stainless top available for it but I know they have them for their larger cabinets so it might be worth a call if the rest of it meets your needs...

I guess I’m of a different mind than most here. I keep a full set of tools in my truck not necessarily for emergencies (although I have used them for that) but because I always find myself working on things away from home. Working on family members’ cars at their houses, working on boats and...

Does a Does anybody know if this yellow is the same as snap on hi-vis?
