[Ohio Auto]

Didn't know it was cool to post what's in em, so here's some updated pics. Here are the 3 drawers I use the most, 3/8 drive sockets, wrenches, and ratches. Rest of the box is equally full though.

LOL, that is a cardboard ratchet that my wife-to-be made me a couple years ago. I wanted a FL80 for Christmas, so she decided to mess with me. She started by giving me that ratchet, then some no name china one, then the FL80. The cardboard one is cool, says made in USA on it, Snap-On, and is very close to 3/8 drive.

All of the organizers in my box are Ernst, and I love them! Great products, great customer support, and made in America.

Sweet boxes.

Shame about the Wings thing.

whats the yellow thing under the countertop?

 

[jimini]

Originally, I left that open for a chair, but never happened. We were cleaning out a rental house and I found it in the basement. Its a metal cabinet with plastic slide-out trays with movable partitions. Says Weatherhead at the top, gotta think it came out of maybe a hardware store originally. Very handy to store small parts in and fit that opening well.

thast what it looked like, but it was hard to tell. gives me an idea for some acrobin storage

thanks

 

[route246]

I really like the placement of the vise. It appears to be able to rotate totally out of the way which can avoid anyone accidentally hitting it when they walk by? I always worry about something protruding and nailing it in the dark or something like that.

[aussiek2000]

Here is my toolbox. Everything pictured has been purchased in the last 2 months.

deep 1/2" sockets would not fit standing up

Cornwell ratcheting bit driver set

Milwaukee 12v impact driver and Matco DVOM

some cheap double flare tool I got for free at work.

 

[DRhodes]

Aussiek,

Great start. Those Cornwell's look nice.

 

[aussiek2000]

Thank you. I am trying to build a decent set of tools before I graduate this summer (A.A.S in auto/diesel). Still looking for a semi-cheap set of SAE wrenches.

 

[mrholeshot]

someone went through some cash over 60 days

 

[aussiek2000]

Yes, I have. Doesn't take long to spend what I make working 25hrs a week at a little over minimum wage. Luckily my dad, being a professional tech, has bought and donated me a few of these tools.

does the retracting action on your Snapon utility knife stick sometimes? I have the Bahco version and it constantly sticks when I'm trying to retract the blade - even when the spare blade chamber is empty.

BTW: nice box and tool set, well on your way!

It hasn't yet. It is not a "real" snap on knife. I picked it up at work (autozone). It does the job, but I still prefer the irwin knife beside of it.

I noticed that you are from Zanesville. May I ask what school you are attending?

 

[aussiek2000]

I am attending Washington State in Marietta. I have a small apartment there and work nearby (15 miles). I come back up to zanesville when I get the chance, which isn't very often.

 

[Dart715]

My upgrade from a small craftsman 6 drawer top. With me be only 16 and no job i like to think i have a pretty nice collection. That not all of it obviously, but most is craftsman.
