Let's see your toolbox.

Screwdrivers
Whatda think?

Good idea. I'm going to try this for my screwdrivers. I've had two of those magnetic holders forever and don't use them for anything.

Upload to photobucket and insert the source code here.

 

[AV tinker er]

So, after much browsing of this topic, and recently purchasing a new box, i feel like i am finally worthy of posting.

HF haters aside, the 44" toolbox is great for the money.

Nice set up!

Meant download...not upload. Just thought how cool it would be to have all pics of this thread in one folder.

 

[KPSquared]

I have most of the pics. Right click, save as. Simple.

Not a BIG box or a Snappy, Mac or Matco, but I just got another one of these 6 drawer, 16" deep Husky boxes today...

Normally 189. With HD's "New Lower Price" it's now 159. It was a display so the associate gave me some $$ off, and I walked out the door with it for 115.
It's a heavy unit and I believe it's made by Waterloo. (judging by the part #). Sears had a unit with the EXACT dimensions for 259. No way. Even at 189, I prolly wouldn't have gotten it, but I need a match for my other set up, so it's perfect.

 

[tncumminsguy]

At my shop, I keep grinders, hammers, drill parts etc in the cheap black husky

 

[Tucker99]

Gents,
Looking at a vintage SO, 36" X 24" X 29" (LWH) on ebay about 90 miles from my house in Maryland. I need the top half of a set and the guy agreed to separate and sell for $650 Also been considering a 40" Craftsman that I just missed the sale and it's back up to about $485. Do the old SO drawer's slide anything like the newer brg drawers? Are parts available for the old boxes? Any comments on the older SO quality?

 

[magnusk750]

Here is mine, recently bought Bacho. Price tag said 399 €, then I have 10% off in that place and then I can lift of the value added tax as I bought to my business made the final price about 300 €. I haven't had any real high quality boxes to compare with but compared to our kind of Harbour Freight or so big box stuff it feels very sturdy. I haven't realy moved in to it so no use to make pictures of half empty drawers.

I've never had a tool chest before, prefered pegboards so far. What I don't like is that I can't find those nifty holders for organising tools that I've seen you have. I mean, I will not buy new tools with their organisers just because I bought a tool box and haven't found those holders on sale here.

 

[kunkernator]

Kunkernator, where did you get that 75th anniversary ratcheting screwdriver? just kidding.

You're better set up than I was just out of high school.

I like the gloss finish HF switched to on that cabinet. Mine is the crinkle finish and it's filthy and tough to clean.

Thanks a bunch!
That 75th screwdriver is sitting there and will never be used, just so I can see it everyday.

Good idea. I'm going to try this for my screwdrivers. I've had two of those magnetic holders forever and don't use them for anything.

Yeah, I loved the idea when it came into my head. It fit perfectly in the Craftsman box. I have flatheads going one way, phillips going the other. Easy organization, and it keeps everything from moving around.....
Now all I have to do is figure out how to store my T-handles inside without taking up a whole drawer.

 

[frozen2510]

Used my cell phone so not the best pics

 

[W650Mike]

Just picked this up and will start cleaning soon.

Classy and classic.

 

[crewchief888]

Gents,
Any comments on the older SO quality?

i have SO boxes from '76 through '94.
most bought new off the truck, others bought used (trade ins) off the truck.

of the 5 roller cabs, 4 top boxes, 3 mid boxes, 5 side boxes i've bought over the years, i've replaced one set of friction slides in a heavily loaded roller cab drawer.

most of my boxes, (especially my work boxes, i've worked on const eq for almost 30 years) are heavily loaded, boxes in my garage have more than the usual amount of tools in them for the "average" wrench turner

 

[nahuebsch82]

Well I posted these in another thread in regards to my new hutch i built, but here are my boxes...

Craftsman 40" w/ my home made hutch

Those organizers are NOT available in european shops (except UK), import them on ebay uk....
Check for Hansen socket tray or mechanic time saver

 

[Aetsh]

Snappy 95th anniversary HD and a little medical cart (mainly for the fridge to sit on)

 

[dfreeman616]

Work set up. Left to right: Snap On KRA380J roll cab and KRA59G top; Mac MB1000 series special edition; Matco 2-drawer roll cart.

 

[clarence wetzel]

[Wesley49]

Posted my last box on here. Traded it in today for my new one. From KRA2422pot to KRL 1022pot.

My stuff, krl 1000 was bought in 1985, lol

 

[alpinewhite]

Maybe it's just me but I like a toolbox that doesn't have any stickers at all.

what brand/model is that top box?

 

[BB70]

what brand/model is that top box?

It's a mac , don't know the model number off hand, it's at work. I can get it and report back. Also, the stickers kinda hide the years of using it to make money, it's been a road warrior but has finally found a home. John

 

[bobcatdan]

Looks like a mac econimizer. I always found those to look real big for a 26" box.

 

[BB70]

I think it is a economizer, I go in to work at midnite, can tell for sure later. John

 

[nicholsmf]

Pardon the horrible mess in my garage but here are my tool boxes. Six 9-drawer Stanley Vidmar cabinets with top chests. I used to be a Snap On box junky til I got these.

My KRL1003


Bought new around 94/95 and traded my 3 piece Matco set towards it. Made the top myself out of 3 2x12 oak boards.

Nice clean setup!

You obviously haven't seem MY garage!!!

Nice set up!

 

[clarence wetzel]

yes the wilton is bolted through a 1/4 inch steel diamond plate into the cabinet. also the right side is covered in 1/8 inch aluminum diamond plate.

 

[BB70]

I could'nt find a model number but it is 26 in wide, aprox 17 deep with ball bearing drawers. John

 

[magnusk750]

Must admit the colour was one of the main 'buying points'. There are top boxes available, think I must invest. Could be nice to have one made in the same time. As time goes they tend to change a detail here and there, colour tone changes a snip etc.

I really like that box, especially the orange color.

bought this monstrosity from Josh at Shop Top Tools in PA. Don't ask how much it cost. KRL1004 quad cab bottom roller with 2 side lockers, a riser, 2 side chests and 2 top lockers. I think its about 13ft long. Looked like it was a demo box or just something that was taken care of EXTREMELY well. Only very minor blemishes, easily a 9/10 condition. Haven't transferred all my stuff yet. We have been working out of a top and bottom craftsman box for the last 7 years. Big upgrade
