Let's see your toolbox.

[kapster]

I bought this Craftsman tool box on Craigslist for $100.00. I use it for my milling stuff.

Is that the mill next to it? What make is it?

 

[padronanniversary]

Is that a Makini ?

 

[jeffmoss26]

Nice box and mill!!

 

[Micscience]

nice snap on puller 7 installer set

 

[slowtwitch]

Is that a Makini ?

yes it is... I'm currently converting all the electronics to something more reliable.

 

[crewchief888]

Really nice toolboxes on here
So here is a part of my boxes and tools after threwing out some tools which were just crappy As I'm just 19 there will be much more tools and hopefully soon a better toolbox cause these ****...

I use the yellow one as toolcart and the workbench left to it will soon be on wheels as i really don't know where to put it because i already have too many workbenches And sorry for the crappy phone pics

The crappy tools drawer which may serve to be modified some day

quite a bit more than i had at 19...

just remember just aboout everybody started out with smallisg boxes, and not many tools, it takes years (or a fat wallet) to accumulate the amount of tools, boxes and "stuff" that you see posted.

i've been buying tools since '76 when i started my machinist apprenticeship...

 

[Diesel_Crawler]

Its been a long while since I did a post, Been busy with the new job and stuff. So I did a small update video to feed the need of this thread

 

[Diesel_Crawler]

Also this seem to be something fun to do as of late,

 

[basspro]

This is my work tool box, my home box is a 41" Homak, but no pics of it as of now. I love both my setups. I have this on a 1.5" angle iron frame to handle the miles my box gets pushed across our plant. Got it full of tools, may get more pictures soon.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Nice setup, dieselcrawler! I especially like the drawers with all the measuring stuff!

I agree, awesome setup, quite jealous!

 

[jeffmoss26]

We have all of that stuff in nice Lista cabinets in the tool crib at work though

 

[kapster]

Diesel crawler, what kind of work are you doing(uh diesel crawlers)? That's a major toolbox for a machinist, I have a classic 60 at work(machinist). Looks like half way between machinist and mechanic?

Since hes working on his red seal Millwright, im going to say, he's a Millwright, which gives him perfect qualification to work on nearly anything and everything. The trade of all trades!

I am not really sure what I am anymore lol. I work in the fields of Marine, transportation, aviation, automotive, farming and all kinds of random ****. I do engine work both machining and repair, Welding (TIG/MIG/Stick/Fluxcore/metalcore/sub arc) Custom fabrication, Engineering, Job pricing, Engine overhauling Electrical, Overhead cranes and the list goes on and answer the phone...Don't know how I got suckered into that one though..

I do armor and weapon smithing gunsmithing silversmithing in my spare time, some weeks I alot myself 2 hours to sleep.

This is my shop, It was really dirty when I filmed this I know...

It just means people expect a lot more of you lol

 

[jeffmoss26]

here is a very long overdue tour of my toolbox:

 

[Les Brock]

Very Nice Jeff,

You like your adjustable spanners then

 

[jeffmoss26]

There are very few tools I don't like LOL

 

[Les Brock]

Les that's a lot and I mean a lot for a non pro !!!!!!

Well what can I say.......

Tool junkie

 

[G-Ram]

Just ordered this bad boy yesterday, should be here saturday. Gonna load this sucker up and ship it off to my new job that I'm starting May 10th! After my 3 month probation I will consider upgrading, if need be. Let me know what you guys think

[Hafen_Kafer]

that's a cool box. I like the long drawer.

 

[G-Ram]

that's a cool box. I like the long drawer.

That was a BIG selling point for me. I like the double bank vs. the other single bank boxes that go for around the same price

 

[kool_BOY8323]

I inherited this from my dad. I remember him telling me that He bought it in 1959 for around $30.

I cant find much info on Rem Line but its really well constructed. I might respray it someday and give it to my son .

remline is still around, check out tooltopia.com:

http://www.tooltopia.com/search.aspx?find=remline

and do you have a better pic of that bottom craftsman cabinet? i think my dad's top would go great on it..

 

[rsieracki]

Interesting... I have a matching remline bottom with a matching craftsman top... perhaps our old tool boxes are distant cousins lol

Way too clean to be mobile haha jk. What type of work do you do?

 

[neonlazer]

Actually I don't work professionally but love to work on my truck and friends vehicles who always have issues. Especially when offroading in the middle of nowhere. My best friend is a mechanic and got me gettin dirty now. Its mainly clean cause its not very old.

Did the "organizer" on the door come with the safe or was it an extra?

 

[droach77]

Below are pics of my most recent restoration project. Vintage (I believe 1953) Montgomery Wards Master Quality boxes. The bottom I acquired at an estate sale in Pittsburgh CA, the top in Maplewood MN. They were both in rough shape. I matched the original colors as best I could with rattlers (verde green hammered although the pics make it a more blue than green), and didn't fix any of the creases or dents to leave some of the old character. I have a box of about 500 old keys and found one that worked in the top, and I found one that worked the bottom lock after I removed one of the 4 pins in the lock mechanism.

Here is where I need some help. I need another aluminum label as the label on the bottom box was gone. You can get an idea of the size from the picture. Thanks for your help!

It was part of the safe -- http://www.libertysafe.com/safe-lincoln-safes-ps-5.html


The wood pistol rack on the shelf I already had

those are sweet! i really like the vintage boxes myself. the new ones with ball bearings and such are nice, but the old remline, craftsman, montgomery ward, waterloo, etc just have so much more style.

E-tek has a handgun in his toolbox..

LOL! I saw that as well, damned magpies.

 

[smalltruck]

Well it took 5 years before I could afford it. And a Mac guy who was very hungry but I got a deal.

 

[Deafautotech]

I am really like extra wide drawers as easier to see where I need a tool while open one drawer than open multiple drawers on three bays box...

Mother of god! I have 2 kids and a wife I would be willing to trade for that. JK. Awesome box.

 

[wannab20hatch]

Here's a pic of my 68" and my old classic ss along with my dads 84" epiq. he's looking to add another locker and overhead locker for the left side. Hes also got a matco triple bank with hutch and locker as his home box. No pics of that one though.
