Here is my small collection. It's only been a about 6 months to add this box and all the contents. Slowly but surely.....

For gits and shiggles

 

[ogbronc]

The new box! KERN682B4PC. Just traded in my KRA2107 and KRA2404. Got a good deal after trade, setup was just under $4k.

And my roll cart. Currently looking for a black one.

 

[yogitech]

[lestat]

Here is mine.

more drawers...

 

[Moose-LandTran]

Here is mine.

Daaaaaaaaaaaaaaamn...

I love the cut foam. Did you do that yourself? It's stunning.

Where in the UK are you? Miserable southerner here.

 

[lestat]

Looks even better in real life It's properly routed by a foam company. Normally they would charge you a fortune but not if you do the layouts yourself. I'm up in Staffs me.

I bet they do! They look awesome in the pics. I wish i could have that in my box at work..

How did you make the layout?

What company is it? There are two foam cutters i know of here in the miserable south but i've never really inquired about having any stuff made. Something i'm interesting in for when i fill the home box though.

 

[lestat]

If you have loads of snap on, you can check out www.toolbed.de You input the part no. (one drawer at a time) and it generates the respective contours which you can move around in any way you wish. Very easy to use. Good professional quality although not routed but layered.

I did it the old fashion way - drawing around the tools with a parker refill pen, scanning the shape, creating vectors, arranging the layouts and sending the cad file to the foam company. The bad news is you need to know your way in cad or other vectorial software to be able to do the job nicely.

@lestat: very nice !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[scott37300]

Do you have any info on the kind of foam and density? I was looking at www.mcmaster.com trying to find some to try and make my own but didn't know what kind or density to chose.

Thanks

 

[lestat]

thanks guys!

@scott37300 I told them to choose something appropriate for the automotive industry. I had a look at the invoice and there's no mention of foam density, just an internal code for foam type. For what it's worth, it's 30mm thick with the 13mm pockets (except for the big flat screwdriver and extra recesses for the ratchets square drives). Have you looked at Cascade tool and foam supply? They seem to be selling some nice 'cut it yourself' packs.

 

[Boost Creep]

what kind of socket rails do you have? do they have a bracket that holds em in place in the drawer but lets you remove the whole rail when you want to? i've been looking for something like that

 

[scott37300]

Thank you for mentioning Cascade, didn't know about them. They seem to have some really good products, going to get a quote from them. They also list the type and density.

 

[Theloniousmonk]

Love the BETA!

FWIW, some larger sign companies (fabricators) have BIG cnc router tables for cutting MDF and alum. sheets, plastic, "signfoam", etc... for making signs... maybe check some of those guys out for foam routing.

Yes, it's like that - it's an Ernst system (Snap on used to sell it too). The rails are mounted on the plastic supports and can be lifted if needed. Ideally you would screw the supports down, but I didn't wanna drill through the drawer so I hot-glued the rails and supports together in one unit and just pull the individual sockets when needed.

My apologies to those of you who wander to the Garage Gallery section and have already seen this. I wanted to show off my tool boxes before we start to use this new section of the garage and the mess sets in. Those are not new tool boxes; the newest is the Moduline bench, which is about 4 years old. The Stahlwille rollcab has been with me 30 years.The others are 10-20 years old.

 

[abstamaria]

Here is mine.

Very nice. I am envious. How exactly does one get those foam inserts made?

I think that's the first white floor I've ever seen in a garage

 

[beelsr]

white floor is awesome. more reflective, dropped things don't disappear, easy to see leaks. thumbs up all around....

Is that a garage or an operating theatre?

 

[abstamaria]

Thanks. The floor and garage gallery forums on GJ are full of white floors. They are quite practical for the reasons bellsr mentioned. I will take pictures of open drawers. Although the 2 tall Proto cabinets on the right once were my primary toolboxes, I use them now for supplies (fasteners, electrical terminals, etc.) rather than tools.

 

[Soon2AdjustYou]

Whats up with the lighting trusses on that one side?

 

[jymmiejamz]

Our dealership has white floor, although it looks pretty rough since its been there since the 80's.

 

[Robert Haas]

New guy here, wanted to be the first to post up one of the Extreme Pro 72 roller cabs. I love this box.

My SO dealer calls the Extreme boxes Cancer, he said every time a tech shows up with one of these in the big shops the rest of the techs sell their SO boxes used on Craig's list or E-Bay and buy two of these for the price they get for a single used SO box.

 

[mrholeshot]

Very nice Robert, how much are they

 

[Robert Haas]

This one (the 1,100 pounder) was 3125 shipped.

Lifetime warranty on all parts, and finish.

A real nice box, double wall construction on the front and liners are included.

Re: Lighting Truss

Whats up with the lighting trusses on that one side?

That's just a system that uses trusses so one can move lights around, Soon2AdjustYou. It's described in post 130 of "Modern House in Far East," Garage Gallery section; visit it when you have time.

How deep are the drawers on that box? It looks very nice.

 

[Robert Haas]

the chest is 31 1/2" o.a. and the ID of the drawers is 27 1/4"

 

[Robert Haas]

this is a pretty telling demonstration to the strength of these boxes.
