Let's see your toolbox.

[Mr Ratchet]

my 12 point sockets, I need a website to fill the empty spots. craftsman doesn't make the sockets that are missing.

Armstrong has them and they are the same sockets as the CM. The only exeption is the 1/4" drive 5/8". I used Blue Points for them which are 6pt as are the rest of my 1/4" drive sockets.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

thanks, I should have mentioned my 1/4 driver.are six point. the rest are 12 point.

 

[dsmnickk90]

Im not sure if I like the Hansen trays. I have alot of sizes that arn't on the trays. I guess im sticking to racks.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

show me your trays. thats my problem is I have sockets up to 36 mm and 1.5"

 

[dsmnickk90]

show me your trays. thats my problem is I have sockets up to 36 mm and 1.5"

Thats the same problem I have same with 1-3/16. Metric 1/2" dr I have 10mm-30mm then 32mm and 36mm. The hansen trays miss 26mm and stop at 27mm

Metric 3/8"dr i have 21mm and 22mm aswell

 

[Chadwilliam1]

I was thinking about using whe craftsman plastic rails screwed to plywood but i am not sure if it would fit in my drawers.

 

[dsmnickk90]

I just use the old fashion metal rails. I need a bigger box before i think about getting trays anyway.

 

[PAPERMAKER]

My main portable box. We have to take our boxes all over the department so they have to be portable. I'll get some pics of the inside and my gang box when I start midnights.

 

[Chadwilliam1]

I take blury pics.

 

[dsmnickk90]

What impact sockets are those?
I have 1/2" USA craftsman and cant decided if i wanna complete my set with armstrong or be cheap and get some Grey master sets

 

[Chadwilliam1]

Ingersoll rand, I cant remember where they are made but I know its not USA. I really like the finish on them. The only down side is they are laser etched but not engraved so if the etching wears off it will be hard to know the size. They dont see a lot of use at my house.

Picked up last week off kijiji, everything moved over from old international toolbox, still have some tools sittting in the basement. Now in the process of seeing where things fit the best:

on the last page of this thread, nice homemade tray....similar to hansen's out of wood. Guy made them for his 3/4" set. Could make one to sit next to the 1/2 tray if there's room in your toolbox.

That is a awesome idea. But I can barely fit all my tools in my box as it is. And i keep adding more and more to it.
At least im not like most 22 year olds that get a big flashy box with no tools to put in it. I have a ton of tools with no where to put them.

How do you like those stubby wrench holders? i have the same ones..and i find them quite stiff as they're hard plastic..and sometimes can't find small enough wrench for the smallest part of the holder. Still think they're worth it for the price, but found the holder for regular wrenches the same way...so didn't buy them(more money too).

 

[rmsg0040]

Got them at princessauto for less than $5 for the pair. They are decent and hold all my metric and sae stubbies. I agree that some wrenches wont fit in certain slots. I rarely reach for stubbies so not a big issue of being to stiff for me.

Is that the 2907 or 3407?

2907 I think.

Wish I snapped some 'before' pictures, it was a rusty mess, but here is my Grandfather's 'small' toolbox he kept under the kitchen sink.

 

[ephotrod]

There used to be a member here who had a red Cantilever tool box that was overloaded and made a custom handle and had grinders hanging off it. I've search 200 plus pages and couldn't find it. Could someone please help if you know who I'm talking about.

Looks neat. You shoulda made a thread.

 

[mypov]

My new box!
It happened, my tools are mostly all organized and moved over from the other box. Need to spend a little more time in the socket drawer tweaking some things. Now to fill it up. The expensive part. I missed taking a picture of my screw drivers...

I gotta somehow find more room for more sockets. Taken a few days ago. And I thought the KRL box are big, going to need more room very soon!

You don't need more room, you need a storage solution that doesn't waste more space than it actually uses. Those racks are killing you...

Get rid of the plastic trays the SO sockets came in, at least. You can fit twice that number of sockets in that KRL top drawer with proper organization.

mypov, I like the white toolbox in the background of your first picture!

 

[Woodward_Dreams]

Just moved my tools home since Im back in school. Here's my setup.

 

[metaldad]

Mr. Woodward, in your pliers drawer. At the bottom left of the pic, to the rite of the 3 long needle nose in the case, what is it?,

 

[jeffmoss26]

Hard to tell, but are the orange t&g and slip joint pliers Cornwell (rebranded channellock)?

 

[Howard07]

Well I have seen some very nice setups on here. Mine is just a work in progress as more funds become available.

This is my friends setup using the HF 4-drawer cart. I coaxed him into getting it as his tools in his home garage were just everywhere. Contains a little bit of everything from everywhere.

They are to designed get small hoses or line separated from a housing. But they are also good at getting a stuck spark plug wire boot separated from the plug.

That one is made by Matco

 

[jeffmoss26]

Nice setup Howard, I spot a Craftsman pro adjustable wrench as well as the laminated pliers they had several years ago.

No all of the orange handle pliers are Matco

Thanks brother...I love the laminated pliers.

Wish it came as a bonus for my addiction...It does come with a bonus, we just have to pay for it.
