Looking great! Especially like how you organized the screwdriver drawer.

What brand dead blow hammers are those orange ones, where'd you get them and what's their COO?

Thanks

That's a sweet setup and this is going to be your mobile work station? Yikes. What kind of work do you do?

So why the diversity in cordless tools? Personally I wouldn't want all the different battery chargers, but your choices interest me.

EDIT: Freakin awesome setup! One day I'll have something like that. Snap-On box though hopefully. Nothing against Matco, just grew up with Snap-On.

OH YES !!!...that's the route i want to go, 12V Milwaukee M12 tools (real handy) and 18V Bosch tools..... :bowdown::bowdown:


How do you like the M12 inspection camera and the cordless miln2460-21 rotary tool ?

I dig the Milwaukee inspection camera, I have the DeWalt 12V MAX camera which have features that come in handy, but does cost more. My other inspection camera is the Harbor Freight unit which holds its own against units costing three times as much. If you have M12 tools than that would be the best route. I haven't had a chance to check out the Bosch 12V Max yet but since I have that system too (which is in my house rehabbing rig).

The M12 rotary tool to me is heads and shoulders above Dremels. I have 7 Dremels, the M12 is built very tough and its power gets close to some 110V die grinders. I want to get two more I like them that much.

I'm like a ***** with too many purses. I moving most of my 18V Bosch to my house rehabbing kit(two jobs I have set up). I have two of the Bosch 18V recip and two of the circular saws because I got a great deal and those are my favorites of those type of tools. After picking up those two Makita 18V tools for very cheap at a pawn shop and am super impressed with them, so I m going to probably start getting much more of Makita's 18V line.

Industrial maintenance, which covers everything mechanics, electrical, electronics, hydraulics, pneumatics, welding, machining, carpentry, plumbing and more, so it's imperative to have the tools to do whatever you are confronted with.

That is what I love about maintenance, everyday it's something different.

Grooveking: Are the majority of your tools Matco ?

No, I have tools of many brands, SK, Snap On, Wright, Craftsman, Proto, MAC, Cornwell, pretty much almost every brand.

The sockets in the 6225RX are Proto except for one of the sets of 3/8" drive impacts which are DeWalt deeps and Bonney shallows. The 1/4" drive chromes are Armstrong metric and SK SAE. All of the wrenches in the black organizers are Gearwrench, the stubbies are Williams, the socket head wrenches are one of my sets of SK that I bought in the early 80's.

To all who listed compliments, thank you very much, my mass of tools has been in the making for over 40 years, I'll post more someday as that I have 13 roller cabinets at home, many with chests on them. As to the Matco, I'd wanted it for a while and put it off due to the boss at home, but when they offered a six month deal truck credit along with 25% off, free stainless top and then extended it to 12 months, there was no way I was passing it up. If I had used a credit card or Matco credit, my wife would of seen it on the credit report she checks every three months. I'm hoping they do this again next year as I'll replace the KRL1001B with a Matco 6331RX and 6331TC and move the KRL1001B home and make that my service cart, thus replace my Waterloo setup there.

Well it arrived, I'll post more pictures later. I ordered this in 25" deep configuration because this is my rolling service cart. I have a 3018HSL half side locker in black coming in, I am fabricating a 25" x 25" side shelf that will be an exoskeleton of 1-1/2" sqaure tubing with a 1/4" plate top that will be powder coated. The shelf will be 8" lower than the top of the box so that Wilton vise that will be mounted on the shelf at a decent working height.

Looks great - where did you get the organizer for your pliers; the drawer with the pliers standing on their side. Thought it looked well organized.

Thank You,
Greg

Just want to let you know in case you don't already. I have the same meter. It ate batteries also. It is a known issue and if you call fluke and tell them your problem they will fix it for free. Hope this helps.

Thanks for the info, they are standard issue at my company, we probably have 400+ of them.
