Let's see your toolbox.

[gtlaw]

^Could you give details on the holders? They all interest me greatly.

other than the sort a tool holder they are all home made from 1/2" copper or 1 1/2" abs, and plastic conduit cut in half with slots cut in them.

Cool, looks great!

Here is my work tool box harbor Freight 13 drawer box with matching side cabinet. Don't let the cheap box fool you, it is filled with tons of snap on tools.

Favorite drawer:

Here is my home box snap on classic 78 series with not so matching box:

[Grimy]

Here is my home box snap on classic 78 series with not so matching box:

That looks like a smaller Heritage series KRA box to me, not a KRA-2411 54" Classic 78. The Classic series of KRA boxes have squared off shoulders, not rounded like yours does. Only the Heritage boxes have rounded shoulders, as far as I'm aware. That looks like the 53" Heritage box maybe? The side box looks like a KR-274, I have one myself. Good little storage side box.

Here's a photo of my Classic 78 for comparison:

Also, your a smart man to put all of your good tools in that cheap box, as far as theft prevention goes. Anybody who breaks into your shop is gonna go after the big shiny expensive boxes, and leave yours alone.

New member saying hello. I have a small garage where I mainly work on my bike projects. At the moment I am modifying my Triumph Bonneville 2011 to be a more Cafe Racer styled.
As for the toolbox, nothing special, have a basic Wisent bottom+middle and the small side metal drawer is from Ikea. Aah, and the Jack bottles on top are unfortunately empty

 

[concealer404]

Never heard of that brand, but i like the look of that box.

How do you like it?

 

[shoturtle]

It is a german company, it is carried at one of the Germany's Big Box Stores. Pretty nice boxes the wisent. They even have a whole tool line with their name.

I love that Toledo adjustable wrench since that is where I went to college!

So that is a UT jacket in your picture right?
(I am from Toledo, Ohio)

 

[jeffmoss26]

Yes sir! That's the latest UT logo. Graduated from there in May and worked at the Student Union the whole time.

After looking up the part # on the back it is indeed a KRA4813PCM, thanks

Hello all! New member here, I am a mechanic for the Government, I work in my county courthouse on all the police/CID/bomb-squad cars. Just gonna post up my home and work box/tools.

Went on a shopping spree yesterday to add more to my home box.

Nice Maglite

HOME

Just a couple drawers I took pics of, there's a lot more to it though.

Here's my cute little air compressor

This is my big boy, but on of the fitting is broken right now

Dayum

 

[JASTECH]

Grimy, what are the bent red handled tool?

Welcome to GJ noob's! Nice box's and tools. Like to see more pics of German box and tools when you can.

 

[jeffmoss26]

Green hard handles with black shanks? SWEET!

 

[walwalka]

That guy to the left gets dis-owned in my box too. It's just so awkwardly built...

 

[cotjocky]

My Mac Tools home cart custom painted 350Z orange

I have that same cart. I opted for an additional second drawer. No prybar/screwdriver rack on mine. Mine is black. Been a good cart.

Nice bunch of tools, carts, boxes, etc... You have there.

 

[nathan_454]

ken81590 - I'm going to take a stab that you may have attended Universal Technical Institute?

 

[Ken81590]

^^ Lol close, I actually went to ATC, which is a mile away from UTI haha. What made you assume that? I'm actually pretty much fresh out of there, graduated 3 years ago. I'm still only 21 though

I wish I would have gone for the 2 drawer over the prybar side rack. I never use it! Thanks man


PS. Thanks everyone Let's just say, I'll be paying off the snap-on guy till I'm retired

And I'm loving this forum, just found it the other night. This is my favorite thread though Great tools/toolboxes guys!

Hahah I know exactly what you mean

That bluepoint Multimeter is Standard issue at UTI.

I can tell your fresh out of trade school, based on the mix of clean HF tools, with a spattering of Snap on here and there, looked just like my box about 7 years ago!

 

[Ken81590]

Hahaha gotcha. So every student must buy a BP multimeter? lol. And IMO, I wouldn't mind filling my home box with HF tools, cheap, durable, if it breaks, it's like $10 for a new one haha

 

[nathan_454]

don't have to buy, thats just the one that they sell at a discounted rate, I would say 70 percent of students end up with that one. [/threadjack]

 

[Ken81590]

Damn, that's pretty cool. I know if you go to ATC/UTI/WyoTech etc... You get 50% off any purchase of your choice. I was an idiot and used it on my first purchase of a couple little things.

 

[redwrench60]

Been on here a while and have seen some real nice boxes so I figured I'd share. The smaller KRA series is my roll cart. Next time I hijack the camera I'll get a pic of the home box too.

 

[lowendrider]

Here's my modest home setup. I've really outgrown it and will pick up something larger in the future.

 

[jeffmoss26]

I like how the bench has bins on the front. Where did you get the labels for the toolbox drawers?

 

[concealer404]

How do you like that workbench? I keep eye-ing it, seems like a solid piece of the price.

 

[Outlawmws]

Actually you haven't outgrown it, get a few wrench racks, of make them from some insulated solid copper wire, and you can probably empty one drawer.

 

[lowendrider]

Thanks for the comment guys.

Outlaw, you should see the other drawers and the little blue kobalt box..lol Wrench racks would help alot though and I'd like to get some or make some.

The magnet labels came from ebay. I wish I had a link but If I remember I just searched for "toolbox labels". Around 8 or 10 bucks for a sheet, I really like them.

As for the work bench, its an inexpensive one from Lowes..under 200. Can't complain for the price but I will just a little. The bottom shelf is weak..will add plywood underneath in the future. And, the drawers don't close all the way, theres about a 1/4 inch gap. I added 3/4 plywood from my old bench on top of the particle board that it came with. One last thing, if anyone ever purchases one, be prepared to tap every hole prior to assembly (5mm). They were powder coated over.

 

[lowendrider]

Cont'd..
