Thanks. The 2 new ones are precision instruments split beams. The other 2 are craftsman and one is a park (bikes). I have CDI dial in the bottom drawer. Good for pinion preload.
Let's see your toolbox.

I think they are rebrands. The grip is a little different, but they appear to have the same mechanism as the comfort grip vice grips. I still reach for the normal vice grips, but got the CM on sale for cheap and they were last of the USA made....figured they'd be good to have in the box.

Did some re-organization...moved wires out of one drawer, put the hammers in there, pliers in the old hammer drawer, screwdrivers in the old plier drawer, and some more pliers where the screwdriver used to be. Phew!

This is my box for work, it has managed to stay nice and neat for a whole year!
The upper pallet is starting to show some wear, and I may need to order a replacement soon.
This is a normal in-bound trip for a service visit - less the cardboard box that is on top
of my black tool box. I usually put the laptop on the the other box's...

I am a Field Service Engineer with Advanced Sterilization Products - we are a Johnson and Johnson owned company. I install and service Hydrogen peroxide gas plasma sterilizers. Not conventional broadcast, but we use low frequency 
RF generators around 300 to 500 watts depending on the unit. I carry a Bird Watt meter, it is in one of "the other" tool box's. It is not fun moving all of that stuff around in the snow!

Sweet, we have the same Watt meter at work. I work in TV
In upstate NY you get used to lugging equipment through the snow up to the transmitter. Nice kit!

Here is my tool box and tool cart. It sees plenty of garage duty at home these days Its a Matco 6331RX & TC top and bottom. The tool cart is a Matco MSC12. Also a couple of shots of a few of the tools inside. The wrench drawer that is open is my metric drawer and the standard drawer has as many wrenches in it. There are a lot more tools, but just too many pics to load.
Its been a good box. Weighs almost 10,000 lbs with the tools in it. A bit of a beast to wheel around a shop on a regular basis. Hence the need for the cart.

Thanks for all the complements guys. She is a bit of a big girl, 86" long, 31" deep and 72" tall. I am pretty sure I could live in it if I had to.

Its a KRA-4xxx series, 80th anniversary edition box.
That's a very nice Snap On box.I read your other thread about buying it. You got a really good deal on it too.
How much did you pay for that matco box?

My setup is this.
Finished the HF unit this past wk. This is for home garage use and non-pro hobbyist. For $1005 total, I'm happy with it. Before, I had pretty much nothing for tool storage and it was a disaster with tools all over causing much frustration finding stuff.
So I was fed up and said this summer that I'm going to put together a unit, nothing pro SO or $20k setup, but something. This is a nice improvement and figured might as well get something decent size... might have went over board... but I'm sure it will fill with stuff over time.
Golden Retreiver seems to like the setup so I can't argue with her. She is starting to enjoy the garage more and more, but I just have to make sure to keep the Budweiser away from her.
-$350 13 drawer roller cabinet on sale
-$250 top chest on sale
-$200 side cabinet
-$200 side chest
-$5 towel holder.

The MSRP for the box (no tools in it) is a tick over 23K. My Matco dealer took great care of me on the sale price of it. But I am not allowed to say what I paid for it. I would like to add a pair of side cabinets to it in the near future. Not sure if I will be able to come up with the money as fast as I would like to.

You would be correct, add Subarus to that list as well. They love to spin #4 rod bearings and break #4 ring lands. They are great job security. Although lately, I've been working on almost exclusively Nissan GTR's and Porsches.
