    How many times did you organize your toolbox before being content?

    Just like Notgrownup stated, it never ends. I'd suggest after each reorganization is to use it for a month. Then reevaluate.

    Starter tool box for youngsters

    Great idea! Just like others have already mentioned, just add a decent socket set with 1/4" & 3/8" drive and wrenches. You can debate metric or standard up to you, but with these you can do almost all the repairs except major driveline components.

    Hansen 3 row socket trays

    I've had good luck with socket organizers from Amazon, which they have many types/brands. I know that might be frowned upon but for the amount of tools I have at work it work cost me dang near $500 to use Tool Box Widgets which I almost did. Instead went the amazon route and figured If I didn't...

    Snap-On Flank Drive Plus Wrenches vs. Nepros

    I guess I'll throw in my two cents. Almost all my wrenches under 27mm & 1 1/16" are Snap-On. I've owned and used them well over a decade now and are great tools. I haven't used or seen a Nepros in person, but have heard good things. You did mention purchasing them in Japan. Just wondering where...

    Are these pliers useful or useless?

    I use them every now and then. Great for holding hoses in place in limited access places. Like any specialty tool, you don't always need it, but when you do...

    Newer Craftsman Tool Boxes

    It's possible. One of my coworkers has a Husky box and Hutch combo. He's been using it daily for around ten years and it's still holding up. I know a couple others that have the higher end Husky's for a few years now. My Snap On Master series is seventeen years old and have only had to...

    Newer Craftsman Tool Boxes

    I was in the same boat just before Christmas. Needed a decent tool box for home. I was wanting to purchase the USA made Craftsman at Lowe's. When I finally looked at them in person I wasn't impressed and a little sad at what I've seen. Very flimsy and it looked like the castors were put in with...

    I'm not buying Snap-On Torx socket set anymore.

    I know this is an really old thread but when the "Tool truck" person tells you they can't warranty something, you need to double check with corporate. I've had Snap On truck tell me one thing and corporate tell me another.

    Tool Brand Marketing vs. Usage

    I've been a School Bus Mechanic for quite some time. I primarily use Snap On due to them being marketed heavily in our industry. I'm slowly switching over to ICON for convenience and price (tool trucks don't swing by to see us much unless someone owes them money). When I was a Technician for...

    Harbor Freight’s ICON Pliers and Ratchets

    So far they have held up. Haven’t had them for years yet but quality seems on par. Also I’ve seen great things about their warranty process. I’ve also been using their Hercules battery powered impacts etc. Got great deals on them and added warranties to them. I’ve had some bad luck with Snap on...

    Harbor Freight’s ICON Pliers and Ratchets

    I'm a School Bus Mechanic and have been for fifteen plus years. I have mostly Snap On stuff but have been slowly getting Icon stuff. Mostly sockets and wrenches. The reason being is Snap On keeps going up in price. Not a problem if you warranty something but if you lose a single socket it costs...

    Do you think this is a Snap-on tool box?

    Looks like a KRL Master Series. Never seen that color option before. Does it have the sticker in back? Also the lock cylinders should say Snap On as well.
