how many tool boxes do you have??

[econoaddict]

Garage at home and shop combined, 30ish give or take a couple, includes: service carts (3) mid boxes (2) side boxes (2) work bench tool storage stations (4) portable grab-n-go boxes (4) roll cabs (5) top boxes (3) and the rest are boxes for specific specialty tool storage, most are portable type...ie on the car brake lathe has nice tool box for storing all the specific tools and adapters. One box that holds nothing but our cam/timing belt aligning tools and so on.

In the garage I have a Lista cabinet with 13 or so drawers. I also have a Craftsman 8 drawer roll cabinet with a 10 or so drawer top box on it. There is also a small Kennedy Machinist box I recently got. In the barn is a 40" Waterloo top box and a3 drawer Craftsman roll around. And then all my machinist stuff is in the basement of the house in two 8 drawer tops and one 2drawer intermediate box. Also have 4 or 5 Rally type boxes sitting around filled with specialties. Need another lista or two so I can get everything organized better.

Forgot about my old Gerstner I have packed away to restore some day.

Three rollers, two mid chests, two top chests. All old Craftsman.

At the shop:
Cman top and bottom 2bay roller.
Matco top and bottom 1bay roller.
Blue point 2 drawer cart.
Cman 3 drawer hand box.

At home:
Torin top and bottom roller.
Snappy hand box.

top and bottom rollaways, or your main box..
i can't believe how many some of you guys have, i'd never be able to fill all of them...

they are easy to fill up, have one set of tools at work, and another set at home.

ive been wrenching on const eq for 25+ years, stated buying tools 10 years before that.

i sold my kennedy machinists boxes years ago, have given away 3 or 4 roller cabs/top boxes, and sold one of my SO roller cabs, and side box.

i'm still kicking myself for that stupid move.

About twenty-four with drawers - mostly Snap-on and Kennedy, a Union, a Utica, two huge Shark Stainless and six or eight carry boxes. You got a problem with that?

I have one 41" box and wish I had more. I'd like to find a top box for mine but Craftsman doesn't make it in the color I have anymore. Other than that I'd like to have a 26" with bottom, mid, and top chests.

 

[Blacknwhitepit]

I think I am now over 20... I got a few more that I have not taken photos of yet.

 

[Deafautotech]

BLACKNWHITEPIT: hey how are you? i am still jealous that you got a snap on blue box that has full wide drawers...

Finally have got some time to hit GJ and post again. Work, school and family had me busier than I wanted to be.

I got really lucky with that blue KRL. The pawn shop had it and was willing to deal, 3K total out the door.

I still keep finding good deals on smaller toolboxes, so I guess I need to update my pics.

Tools were included?

It had a few odds and ends, but nothing to speak of. The tools you see in it are mine.

that good thing to keep busy around.. i had a tech friend who had to sell exact box but with hutch and color is red... he tried to sell for 9,500 for a while.. last time i saw him, he still has it... it is stupid for him to trade in his KRA 26" combo top and bottom box for Giant box and had not buy any tools!!!! but what i was told that he was moved back to ohio to be computer person... oh well..

[eyeboltman]

blacknwhitepit ? do you remember where you put the 1/2 wrench ????

 

[gsport]

wholly cow... you guys amaze me. maybe i do need some more boxes!!

 

[mkdive]

MKdive: how do you like the Craftsman side box??? is it worth???

YES (worth it). I actually have some of my most used tools in there. I picked it up on one of the "tool storage deals". But I would even buy one a full price! I threw some mechanic time savers above the side box to make it handy storage:

Here are some drawer shots of the side box:

Top drawer (meters & leads):

2nd drawer (misc):

3rd drawer (hex keys)

4th drawer (swivel sockets):

5th drawer:

Bottom drawer holds tools in cases:

[sevnd3z28]

You guys have some amazing boxes! I only have 3,4 if you count a 2 drawer 26" intermediate box. No pics but after seeing some of the collections here,I would be too embarrassed to show my measly **** even if I had some!

Blacknwhitepit......YOU DA MAN!! That is some top notch ****...would love to see more pics!

everybody started somewhere, the 1st toolbox i ever remember buying new was a CM 5 dr roller cab when i started my machinist apprenticeship in '76. my other toolbox at the time was a hand-me down 22" CM machinist box from my dad.

sadly the machinist box is long gone, along with my kennedy machinists and mechanics boxes.

 

[illmatyk]

I have:
1-5 drawer rollaway.
1-3 drawer top box for the rollaway.
1-cart with drawer and closing top.
1-plastic tool box that i'll be using to bring to the track with me.

In about 2 or 3 months I hope to get a bigger box( more than likely Cman ) as I am running out of space.

* its a commercial grade steel cabinet/locker I scored from CL. Got 2 of them, brand new in the box, I might go back and get a couple more. Once I get a good sized roller cab, I'll paint to match.

 

[DrkMtnDew]

2 at work. 8 or so small ones at home.

 

[Tom2]

I've got a small Waterloo roll around. Aside from that I have several carry a long metal boxes. Couple cantelievers..

I need a big roll around though.. Annoying having everything in these small boxes. Garage is turning into a mess trying to find storage.

 

[Lookin4'67Galaxieconv]

top and bottom rollaways, or your main box.. no tool bags, kitchen drawers, etc.
i can't believe how many some of you guys have, i'd never be able to fill all of them...

Over twenty, including seven Snap Ons plus a Snap On cart. I like storage!

 

[rsieracki]

i have 2 kra53's that were my dads and uncles (uncle sold snapon) a stackon top n bottom i got as my first box at age 8 (im currently 29) a kennedy 8 drawer top i got when i worked at machine shop back in high school. a Husky 40 some inch wide top n bottom (bout 8 years old so the better kind) 2 of the HF 13 drawer bottoms as a workbench and 2 older cman 8 drawer iirc workbench bottoms (bolted together with a top) and a few carry boxes of assorted ****... and a cman rally box at my condo, and a box in the trunk of my car too

i keep trying to condense it as i go as i believe its best to have it all in one place not spread all over but i keep finding and buying more so that becomes difficult

I had a snappy box like your first picture dont know what the model no. is but would luv to have that and the 3 drawer middle chest that goes with it back i traded mine for my 3 bay matco roller should of kept em and put them on top of my matco box if i can find a set again i would probably buy em.
