I would like to take this opportunity to introduce myself, my name is Brandon, and I have been a long time lurker of this forum. I am from Canada, I love tools, and I love vehicles.
I am currently attending an Automotive Service and Repair program at my local community college. In order to graduate, all students in the trades fields must go on work placenments. Ours is five weeks, split into two and three week placements. We have just completed out first two weeks, and mine was at the local GM dealership, in the service department, of course. Long story short, one of the two apprentices there was a real young guy, and he liked to spend his money, but he could make more money on his fathers lobster boat, so the following day after I left he put his notice in. That day, I got the call, telling me "There has been some changes, and there may be an opportunity for me." I will be starting next Tuesday. Now this is made even more significant by two factors, one being another student was also working there for his placement, (unfortunately, he was not called) and I never expressed my want to work there, let alone apply, so them calling ME made me feel very good about my performance there, making that big of an impression in only two weeks. This was helped by the "Good word," the tech that I was working with put in for me. He had worked there for 34 years, and counting, and is the only current flat rate technician. So, in hindsight, I cost him money, because not only was I obviously slow (I say obviously, because he only has 34 years more experience than me) he was exceptionally quick, hence him being the only flat rate tech.
Anyways, sorry for gloating, onto the pictures.
Keep in mind, I am just starting, and have only spent two years building this tool set, I started at 16 and am now 18
Most tools are Mastercraft, and Mastercraft Maximum.
Storage is Waterloo, and works real nice. The roll cart is Powerbuilt, Canadian Tire's no name brand.
Sorry for some of the bad pictures, my Lady friend is stil getting used to her new DSLR, about half way thru the pictures, you'll notice they get better.
ENJOY.
Mine is the black three piece, as well as the roll around with added three drawer intermediate.
Top section is 1/2" drive sockets, few specialty, and some sensor sockets, as well as my speed handle.
The three drawers across the top are for my "Drives," and accesories, (universals, extensions, etc.) they are 1/4", 3/8", and 1/2" drive from left to right.
Next are my screwdrivers.
Then my pliers.
And 1/4" and 3/8" sockets and specialty sockets, swivels, 12pt, etc.
Top of intermediate is a drawer organizer with knife, punches and chisels, (steel and brass) as well as grinder spanners, and tapemeasure.
Then specialty screwdrivers and pliers.
Most used wrenches.
Top of my roll cab are my hammers, prybars, files, and wire brush.
Then a spare drawer, socket rails, and the drawer slides are for a cabinet im building to go behind my intermediate and top chest, they are 4" shallower than my bottom roll cab.
Now my droplight, bulbs, gloves, and respirator.
My junk drawer, to be cleaned out for my air tools, when I get them.
Somehow I missed my bottom drawer, it is full of cased tools, tap and die sets, specialty socket sets, vernier caliper, and a couple of micrometers.
This is the top of my roll cart, with electric impact, grinder, drill, and etc.
Spare metric wrenches, nut drivers, stubbies, boxed ratchet wrenches, and large ones.
Same drawer, in standard.
Start of my specialty tools.
Start of my electrical tools.
Chassis and brake tools.
I like to use magnets to mount large or indiscriminate tools, pictures is my oil can and mystery case.
The mystery case is my torque wrench, too large for any drawer, even out of the case. Dont worry though, secured by two magnets, both 25 pounds.
Other side are some long 1/2" extensions, my breaker bar, and my meter stick.
I hope you enjoy these.
