Can you show more pics of your toolbox radio mod?

 

[Burgerkong]

Absolutely that US General is a far superior box to the Kennedy boxes, the Snap-On boxes, Lista, etc. I know if I was offered a Snap-On box or a US General I'd take the US general, you can't really buy a better box.

LOL .

Right. I hold this site responsible for my toolbox bug. I was living quite happily with my multiple tubs and plastic containers for years, until I found GJ and realised something had to be done! Now I have a whole new shiny toolbox and a centre section that I fitted recently as I've outgrown it rather quickly! On the plus side, I got rid of all the boxes I accumulated over the years and even some of the tools of doubtful origin.

Here's my current setup. I'm a homeowner/DIYer so only have this box at home. I love all the big gun boxes posted here, if I only I had the need or the space or the money! Following a few threads here I already started improving the garage. Some heavy duty 560 lbs work bench is on its way.

I have the same arcan floor Jack. I really like it. Costco?

 

[MrSnicks]

Been used daily for 18 months no issues so far.

Can I/we get some more information about your prybar holder? What is it and where did you get it?

Dang that's nice. I wish I had a hutch... got a little ipod playa there probably have an ipod that plays good music while you work. some HED PE maybe?

I love boxed with hutches. It looks like that one is a little short height wise though.

 

[Goohead]

the progression of my boxes

costco box> 46" waterloo magnum> krl1023

 

[Goohead]

I blame this site for my new bug as well.. lol my girlfriend just shakes her head and smile lol.

This is my new addition, just finished the refurb.... now time to get organized.

 

[joedodge]

my matco 4s and matco cart. i use them daily as an auto tech/diesel tech

 

[Akfrostbyte]

Thanks for the additional radio mod pics ironmutt.. I was curious how you powered the radio, now I know!

 

[Nch209]

This IS a dangerous thread. I started out with a HF 44inch box, (which replaced my handheld craftsman and tools scattered throughout) outgrew the HF 44 quick, and while I planned on grabbing a 2nd, I ended up jumping up to a Snap On Classic 78 due to not caring for how shallow the HF drawers are. The 78 is a great box, but found I needed more deep drawers since I hang alot of my wrenches and screwdrivers.... so out went the 78, and in came a Classic 96 Wide Guy with a hutch.... and now I am keeping my eyes peeled for a top chest for it!

I am happy with where I am at, and Craigslist, Ebay and of course GJ have served me well find deals, and selling existing boxes!

Ok, so figured I would finally make a post on this thread. This is my box from my full time job. Also have a box at my part time job that has much more then this, i'll try and get pics of that this weekend after I clean it up a bit. I'll post some of my home box too later.

 

[Heavy Metal Doctor]

How about an old box from the past? Not mine anymore (traded up), but interesting if you've not seen one - it's dirty in the picture as this was quick inventory set pf pics for insurance at work - my old Tempest box:

Just upped my current box slightly -

before:

Then added drawer guards:

 

[twincam00]

those sliver drawer guards look slick, are they aluminum?

Brushed stainless.

 

[ironmutt]

i first tried it with a charger for a 12v drill but at 850Ma it wasnt pwerfull enough to get louder than the shop noise so when the transformer in my jump pack broke a tab i used it to fix the jump pack and scrounged a pc power supply it has a 10 amp 12v lead ,5v and 3.3v was gunna add some led lights later but only if we get another car in i can stripp them out of

 

[lennoxlennox]

those drawer guards are pure ***

Congrats, that´s a SWEET toolbox!

 

[O_M_Jeep]

Just got it all together today, as soon as the vehicle through-put slows a bit I'll start filling drawers and cutting foam n stuff.

Yup, all mine now, made the last payment today

I am 6'1" (for scale), no one ever shows boxes with height references.

 

[AETD]

anyone know where i can get these plier organizers? and what height drawer do they need to fit?

thanks

isn't that just a cut to fit cd rack?

I would guess that they´re of the old style with the wrinkle finish!

[Kirkski]

Here is the evolution of my toolbox. I had it on eBay, Craigslist and GJ for sale. While everything I guess is technically for sale I have decided to keep her...

 

[Woodward_Dreams]

Holy stickers....

are the side boxes a different finish?

yeah, I bought the side cabs awhile back, before the change, I may at some point change them, but I dont mind the darker red at the ends, I bought them for $170 so I imagine I can sell them for that if the color difference starts to bother me, right now I dont really notice it.
