This isn't even in the same league as you guys, but It's all I've got for now.
Eventually I wan't to upgrade to something better, I'm not going to fit much more in here!

That little Kennedy looks like a good working box to me. I had a similar Cman box years ago. Hang on to it, when you get something bigger, it will be a great travel box.
Wheel aligment "tool", it's a camera device, one on each wheel connected to each other and a computer screen for direct readouts.
No prob's you cant see the detail but they are extremely well engineered.
when I need another I won't hesitate.

@NJ Handy guy, The truck is a Ford Transit recovery vehicle. A commonly used vehicle this side of the ocean.
@McRae you're spot on, it is part of the wheel alignment machine. You can just make out the black plates on the lift itself, on which the wheels turn while adjusting.

My cart.
Just starting out in an auto body shop (Not sure if I want to be doing that any more, but that's a different story). Gonna have to upgrade to an actual box since I'm pretty much out of room here.
Blue Point 1/4 inch sockets, air ratchet, and metric ratcheting wrenches. Used Snap-On 1/4 and 3/8 ratchets, and used Mac 3/8 ratchet. Craftsman metric 3/8 sockets. Snap-On pliers and screwdrivers. Harbor Freight body hammers and dollies. Ingersoll Rand sander and grinder. Not sure who made the cut off tool.

Here's mine. I have used them at home only, just for working on my own car now. I used to do side work until it became more of a hassle then it was worth. I hate using dirty tools on clean cars, so everything is kept pretty clean.

Nice setup, I was mesmerized by your socket drawer as I was trying to figure out what all you had.

there were snow flurries in kerry tonight
Just got this today as an early birthday/x-mas gift in one. It's an upgrade over the small re-badged Waterloo I have. Definitely need something to organize the wrenches as that is a waste of space.
I have varying brands of tools inside: Snap-on, Cman, Proto, Duralast, Gearwrench, Husky, Great Neck and others I can't think of right now.

That looks very much like my Dad's toolbox from the '40's till the later '60's. Finally we started buying tools for me and I got a rollaway and dad moved many of his tools into it. I still have that old Kennedy, dad repainted it so it isn't as nice looking. Its my "grab and go box" now.

It is a nice box, I just want to get a tool cabinet sometime soon.
Every trip to the fleamarket or auction I fill it up more and more.
I can hardly even lift it anymore!

You can get those Hanson socket trays just about anywhere...even HF has a knockoff of them.
I got the "holder-thingies" from Sears when they were on sale. Sometimes you can find all of them in a bundle for sale.

He might be wondering about your Torx socket rail, which I am wondering where that is from myself.

A former co worker used this exact set and had nothing but good things to say about 'em. I have them because I nabbed 'em for five bux and have beaten on the T25 without worry.

The "real" Hanson trays are Black (SAE) and Gray (Metric). I have found knock-offs in red (SAE) and Blue (Metric).
I use a combination of the two for my chrome sockets (impacts are easy enough to identify)to differentiate the 12-point from the 6-point, as they are stored with the drive-end-up on these trays .
Red = 6 point SAE
Black = 12 point SAE
Blue = 6 point Metric
Gray = 12 point Metric

hedjhawg- Nice idea you came up with.... Where did you get the blue ones from?

I found them at an auto-tool specialty store in Oakdale, MN (no longer there). I have seen them at swap meets since then - they are DIRECT knock-off of teh Hanson trays - I think they stole the molds and shipped them to Taiwan...
Keep an eye out and you will find them.

Very nice! Thank you, I will have to pick up a set to try out.
