frostbyte, Welcome to our addiction gathering!
I like the box too. I have too many seperate ones that can't hold the long stuff. Trade?

Thanks Jastech, I opted for the hutch style top since I like having a work surface and tools all in one place. Fortunately my Snap-On dealer was generous with Snap-On gifts and this "Socket" clock was one of the gifts for the 85th anniversary.

Yes the shank length is 8"..
love that screwdriver ...im pretty new here and couldnt imagine buying a screwdriver that was that expensive...finally because of jeffmoss's collection pics i bought one. I was really using it this weekend for interior pieces on my jeep and was thinking this thing is worth what they cost or more!! totally makes it easier to work on stuff!

Check eBay for the SO ratcheting screwdrivers, I don't think the Klein ones are US made.

Just about have my hutch setup the way I want.
The first pic is my current setup - I just have to put the 45 Deg cordless tool shelf in - it sits a little too high for my liking with the slots and dots so I have to drill some holes lower so it doesn't interfere with my air tools above.
The next three pics were the way it looked before I added the cordless holster, foam inserts into the flat tray and my light.
Blue Point Air Tool Racks - each one holds 5 - I have 4 racks - I had to cut 1" of each end to fit and then take the peg board off and bolt them to the pegboard.
I find this setup so much more convenient as it's easy to grab what I want and it frees up a drawer and stops my air tools and cordless from being piled on each other and maybe breaking.

Well, this seems like a good thread to make my first post in. Here's my new setup:
And I have the matching cart to roll to the car I'm working on.
Tons of really impressive setups in here though! Very cool!

Nice box. Been looking at the same one. Looks Like you work at the Hot Rock right?

Lennox, very nice setup!
That is a great way of hanging up air tools. I'm wondering if I can take some angle iron and do something similiar to stick in the bottom cavity of my tiny and now overloaded Kennedy.Just about have my hutch setup the way I want.

Thanks
to David W, you'd be the best to know what will fit or not
however - i got these racks with the fittings for $11.50 plus shipping from vimtools as they are clearing them out (reg over $50 ea)
not sure if that is an option for you, but if you scroll about 1/3 way down on the link below, you'll see them

it was one of my favoirtes to it was done by a member (master lewis) sadly he pulled all the pics and now they come up red x"s
Here are a couple pics of my set up, home built using a pair of new era automation cabinets, kind of a lista knock off. But at 48" wide per cabinet, 36" drawers front to back and a 400lbs drawer capacity. It should hold up to all my millwrighting needs.

I'd be happy with this set-up!
Nice and simple, and gets the job done, what more could you ask for?

Well it's been a lot of work but it is finally done! ...WHEW...
I found this 1979 snap on box on Craig’s list. It spent most of its years in an auto body shop. When I got it was in pretty rough shape. Banged up, dented, covered in grime, paint, Bondo and was pretty rusted. I spent one day with a heat gun peeling off stickers... I will not put sticker on this box. I then spent the last month sand blasting and grinding. I got pretty good at using a dolly and hammer. I agonized over how I was going to paint it and finally decided that after all the work I put into it I to have it powder coated. I found a great shop and they first cooked the box, then finished sand blasted it and then a full powder coating. I mean everything was done. Inside, bottom, I even had the wheel brackets done. I rattle canned the wheels because they could not go in the oven. I replaced all the drawer slides and put a new lock set in. It may not be as nice as a new box but it is what I could afford and I love it. It is the heaviest box I ever lifted. I wish I took before picture but I didn't.

another add-on to my home made tool box, i was tired of the small stuff cluttering around (flash lights, batteries, manuals, etc..etc...) ordered a heavy duty swivel arm (up to 66lbs load) for flat screen TV's and mounted the (surprisingly) nice and well (China) made wooden tool chest from HF to it.
My electronic / computer repair tools go in there too....Love it so far.
Out of the way if i don't need it and moved to the working space with one move.....
