Anybody got the US General 56" combo?

There's the specs for the drawers on the top. The bottom box is the same except for the bottom left two, and bottom right. The deminsions are also the same for all the drawers excellent those three. Plenty of room for a DIY. Not so much for a real tech.

Could you post pics of where and how you got your sockets in this box???
Looks like they won't fit in the top compartment with my Hansen trays... Top compartment is only 2" tall

3/8 kobalt trays. Metric is bluen sae is red. 12 point and six point.

Ok so you got them in top drawer of bottom box then, right?

 

[jim1987]

1/2 metric and standard. The deeps will fit, but I rarely use deeps and don't have enough to mfill out the tray, so I went with two sets of shallows. The deeps re on another tray with almy impacts. Also shown is my 1/4 metric, standard and standard 12 points. All in all, 9 trays with all my most used ratchets and useful extentions. These are all in the top left drawer of my bottom box. The extra ratchets extent ions and what not are on the top right drawer beside them in the bottom box.

Yes, but they'll fit in the bottom left drawer in the top box. Couple different options on where to put them. And yes, that socket drawer sit rolls smooth.

Just trying to figure out what to use the top compartment on top box for....

 

[jim1987]

Pry bars. Breaker bars. Gloves. Knifes. Magnetic tools. Paper work. Battery tools. Etc is what I have under my lid.

Waste your time???? Then if you're SO busy then why are you on a forum complaining bout somebody that's looking for advice on some things.... After all I thought that's what these forums was about....

That thread was not looking for advice... You just want people to agree with your opinion (Because that's what it is) and then you get upset and start another thread every time someone disagrees with you.

 

[ibedayank]

I have an idea.. go to a hf store and look at if you like it buy it.. or do you need to make a thread on how to do that to? How about a picture book showing you how?

One of the guys I work with keeps his laptop and battery chargers on the top of his tall box, speakers and light hang on the lid. It's a Mac box though, don't know if you'd have that kind of room in a China box.

When you run out if room in your cheap China box, what do you do then?

Wasn't there a guy on here recently that asked a TON of questions about stuff like dumb stuff. Then was subsequently banned? Reason I say this is, Kaotic if you want to stick around for a while tone it down a bit

Did you ever get around to buying that Proto?

 

[Brownsfan]

No. Actually thinking of buying the HF combo instead. I have some time because the guy that bought my box is paying me every week but I keep my box until he pays me off. If my box don't come in time he is cool with waiting until it does. It will be his home garage box. His entire garage is done mostly in stainless and he wants it to match. His work box is a Snap On MR BIG!!!! Cost him a cool 20k or so. The custom built for plaque says "custom built for the _____ family future. lol. He is a bad *** mechanic. One of the smartest guys I know

Sell it for half what you paid for it and buy a real tool box

+1 I don't own the top box but if I did I would definitely fab up a charging station up top along with a catch all of a little of everything
