Let's see your toolbox.

[amlv20]

How do you like the classic 60? Thinking about getting one(used) for IMO a good price(sub $400)

i love that classic 60, i bought it when i first started,needed a cheap box.i've had it several years, only problem i had was that i ran out of room! its great at home and at work if i were to take it back.

Forklift truck tech

 

[Ironhorse]

Forklift truck tech

That was going to be my guess with all the hydro oil in the van....Very nice. My forlift guy has about the same setup...but yours is a lot cleaner.

 

[Hyster Gareth]

Nice set up which fork truck company do you work for?

 

[farmall400]

Forklift truck tech

That was my guess when I saw that jack.

 

[robe5000]

Hurricane Industrial - we deal Linde, Hyundai,Baoli and dabble with a few others
Thanks for the compliments, i just moved in this van so it will change a bit when i get a chance, i still have to make a shelf above the compressor for my welder, a some sort of rack for my long bars and what not

I'm curious as to what that rig grosses at.. Wow

 

[Charles Waugh]

I've got a couple of the Costco (CSPS) stainless boxes.
One is 52" wide (or so) and the other is 44" wide (or so)
The stainless looks nice, but it shows any little ding or bump (oops!)
:-(

In my storage container I've got a row of 5-drawer filing cabinets - like 7 side-by-side.
Those work great for collecting all the pneumatic stuff in these drawers, the hinges and latches in that drawer, etc.
I just can't enough drawers....

Here's the set of boxes I REALLY want (but can't quite afford....)
A guy has this on Craigslist for $3500 right now in Ridgefield, WA:
LISTA Professional Grade tool boxes.
1-40"W x 55"H x 22"D 5 Big Drawers and 4 Slide Outs
1-22"W x 44" H x 30" D 7 Drawers
1- 22" 10 Drawers
2-22" 12 Drawers

Sigh...

As a gas compressor field tech I also work out my truck, 2 wheel drive f350 with a service bed. But with the pics of the van. No way am I going to show my unorganization. Nice set up robe.

 

[littletoes]

Boiler Tech/Steamfitter/Pipefitter/Asbestos Inspector-Supervisore with a little HVAC&R thrown in for measure....... here, and I'd have to say....MY TRUCK IS A MESS!

Can't seem to keep up....Robe5000 you should be ashamed keeping a truck that clean!!!

To be honest, it looks nice, and it's the ONLY way a guy should work, it's the only way to find parts! You just MUST make time to clean up after projects.

For the most part I just put stuff back when I'm done with it, or a take a few extra minutes at the end of a job
Now when it's Friday and 5 o'clock is comin on or it's cold or raining, lets just say the clear space in the middle comes in handy

Robo, Looks as though a step van would help eh?

This is my favorite type of van, I have access to most of the things I need for regular service simply by leaning in either set of doors, it's a real knee saver

 

[robe5000]

I drive over scales at a few of my customers, ill let you know

Are you running the one ton rear axle? Our Express van has that -- rides a nice as can be even with 2000 pounds of parts and tools in the back with virtually the same settup you have for our one sales / service guy on the road.

 

[thightower]

This is the box I work out of everyday. It is a company truck, but I buy my tools. Most of the other gas compressor companies have nicer trucks. The way I see it they pay for it, I'll drive it.

 

[astrodoggie3000]

Some amazing setups here. Mine is very humble! I just fix my own cars and sometimes my friends and don't even have a garage of my own. A friend has kindly let me use his garage so that's where the pics are from. Most of my car repair work is out on the street in Scottish horizontal rain!

This was my only tool box for fifteen years:

My spanners were in a Pringles tube, the socket set sat on top and I had a cheap nasty tool bag for my breaker bar, torque wrench and other bits and bobs.

Then I bought a Peugeot 306 and joined an owners club. I learned a lot from them on how to tackle jobs on the car and it gave me the confidence to do a lot more work on the car myself. So I started spending money on more tools. I bought a load of spanners but the only place I could keep them was in a bucket! So I bought a second hand Clarke HD chest for £60:

It was great having all my tools organized and easy to access. I liked my car and wanted to keep it a long time so replaced and upgraded the whole front suspension and a load of other jobs. Then the engine blew! I found a Citroen with the same engine for £325 which I've been driving around in for months now. I'm swapping the engine from that into to the Peugeot so it's a good excuse for buying more tools! More tools means bigger box time so I was delighted to score this for £85 off Ebay:

It's a Sealey AP4805s. The box is a customer return due to dents. You can see the dents and rust on the top. Functionally it's brand new though and is mint inside. I love the 440mm depth of the drawers but they're only 49mm high so I have to watch how I lay stuff out. I've only a couple of photos of the contents as I'm still sorting my tools out in it.

I like that Sealey box... nice and compact. What do you use for pliers and screwdrivers?

 

[goodspeed]

I have that same clarke hd box. Have yet to get around to cleaning it up and putting it to use, though. Lol

 

[TheJohn]

My Harbor Freight 56" box, and a couple of pictures of the fullest drawers (others have just a couple of things like pry bars, gearwrench serpentine belt tool etc etc.)

Here's a pic of my Mac boxes.

Looks like you have a few manuals too! Dang...I could borrow one or two if you lived closer!

Like the steel dividers, where you can see anything you need....Lucky Dog...

Yup, if YOU lived closer you could borrow one or two manuals. I have enough to fill a couple of more bookcases.

Has anybody ever seen a Craftsman box like this before? This is a first for me. It's on my local Craig's List and the seller is asking $750. I'm not interested in it but I've never seen one like it before.

[thightower]

Never seen one set up like that.

 

[crewchief888]
