So I guess its my turn to show my box.

Since I basically grew up in a sales, service, and body shop, I've got quite a collection of tools for being 14 years old. Some specialty tools for older cars came from my grandfather, so did the old c-man, mac, and remline? boxes. My current main box I had for little less than a year now and already out grown it:shocking:

Current box:

Contents inside my main box;

I have to work on these drawers;

This drawer irritates me the most, I have to dig through 3 layers of pliers just to find one!

Lots of misc. stuff

Body hammers and dollys

Dollys are rusted because this box is in storage.

Misc body tools

Air/ misc tools

Ratchets and drive tools

Chisels, punches, and files

More misc!

Hex keys and wrenches

I'll add more pics of the top box later, if you guys want:)

YZRider,very nice collection of tools for a 14 yr. old! Let me make a suggestion on your pliers drawer. Get a pliers rack from Plyworx. I've seen them on the Matco & Snap-on trucks and also at Northern. They go for about $20. I got one after seeing several people here on GJ using them. I've gotten a few compliments on how organized my pliers are and now all the other techs where I work have the same rack.

Thanks for the comments, just ordered the pliersrack:rocker: Is there anything like that for screwdrivers? Because my screwdriver drawer is just a big of a disaster as my pliers drawer.

Wow! I've always had a lot of tools, even as a kid, but nothing like that when I was 14...or now! Keep it up!
I was gonna ask where those pliers racks came from, my question was answered!

I got this about a month ago. It's a Waterloo Traxx I got for a very reasonable price. I figured it would take awhile to fill it up, but it seems most of the drawers are already accounted for...just that the tools now have a bit more breathing room :bounce:

Here it is next to my old toolbox - also a Waterloo.

Real deal TE37. A friend gave it to me since he no longer had the car and it has slight curbage. Yeah I drive DC5 well I say I drive it but it really just sits in the garage bought new in 2006 and has 13k miles on it.

Dear god that's the nicest hose reel ever. :bowdown: Beautiful DC5 sir. Have a couple friends with them and they're no slouch, especially when boosted. They give my Greenwood SuperNatural a good run up to about 60ish. Where did you get those black hardware, etc. bins?? They would be very useful for what i need them for.

Love your dc5. I drive a fg2. And sick hose reel. It's funny how your hose reel costs more then your top box. But at least you got it for free. What mods you have done to your car?

Yeah I love it just wish the weather was nicer so I didn't mind driving it. Too lazy to wash it. The bins are Ernst you can get them from http://www.ernstmfg.com/ and the big ones in the bottom drawer I got from Sears believe they were Craftsman.

Thats pretty badass. Did you paint it white yourself to match the door? I thought it was odd it didnt have any logos...

Very nice/clean garage. I like the stockpile of HAMP filters :thumbup:.

Na it's the factory white. The logos after time on all wheels start to chip away. It had no logos on it when I got it a few years ago. I just cleaned it up and picked up a wall mount from a friend who owns a local wheel shop. Thanks!

Haha indeed! Just basic intake and exhaust suspension wheels. Nothing special. No Kpro or header. Honestly buying a house makes me want to focus more on modding it than the car.

I wish we called Trash Cans by the name Wheely Bins over here. Sounds so much nicer. I remember seeing on the news about the lady who put the cat in the "wheely bin."

Very nice yellow box btw. :beer:
