Hello all. I did a video tour of my toolbox. I used my cellphone to record it in 4k so it would only do 5 min clips. That's why it's in 3 videos. If you watch it please let me know if you see anything I'm missing.
Part 1
Part 2
Part 3

If you watch the video I'd appreciate some comments please. I plan on getting a project car next summer. Are there any obvious roos I'm missing that i should look for on sale in the mean time?

Hi I watched all three parts and it looks good but I might add a few missing items to your list:
Buy a 50 ft corded work light for under the car or just moving around the house to get more light into dark places.

Buy a good flashlight also.

A set of good quality wood chisels.

You had a set of drill bits but you glossed over it very fast are they good quality? if not spend some extra cash and pick up a good set something you will use a lot of.

Pick up a good cats paw (nail puller).

Only one claw hammer look for some used ones and pick them up.

Get yourself a good nail setting set to finish sticking out nails.

Buy some pipe wrenches.

Pick up a long crow bar for demo work.
Hope this helps you out.

Was there a decent set of hammers in it? I remember seeing the claw hammer. A tri-square is nice to have, usually comes with a scribe. What about magnetic trays, they're only a couple bucks. A code reader for your vehicles. Measuring tape? Maybe I missed some parts of the videos....

A tool box has to fit the job the master does. So tell us a bit about the master this box serves. Plumber, carpenter, machinist, auto mechanic, tractor mechanic, or home owner that supports a bit of everything.

no neat sig line

Home owner that does a little bit of everything. Built cascading steps for my deck a few months ago. Titled up a wall for my fireplace. Small automotive stuff. Change my own splarkplugs and oil. Breaks too. But in the next 12 to 24 months I'm looking at getting a project car.
