Let's see your toolbox.

Oh, yeah! That's really nice.

Hey Blown V2, what are the copper-colored tools in this pic? Looks interesting....

Is it me or do they look like connection rods machined to accept sockets?

Here are my two toolboxes. The Snap On box is for work, I don't have every tool in the book but it does the job. The second box (Kincrome) is for my kart racing. It's total chaos and disorganized, and unfortunately without getting a bigger trailer or van we can't upgrade and have to make do with it.

What model of Snap On box is that? That appears to be approximately 42" wide and I've never seen a KRL 2 bay that small before.

Looks like a KRA with polished corner guards.

They're Yamaha engine rods with spark plug sockets welded onto them

It's a 40" KRA2208/2212 combo with polished guards. Made in China with the old USA tooling. Gotta love living in Aus

Who makes that screwdriver rack you have?

[dfreeman616]

Already outdated because there's a few tools that were added/replaced as part of the deal but hadn't come in yet, and two of the short drawers were replaced by a 4" on the left side due to some in-transit damage. Overall, I'm pretty happy with it for $4300 including a TechAngle 1/2 drive torque wrench, quick connect tools to fill out what was missing, and a few other things. The KRL1023, stainless top, and tools are new for $4100, the riser was $200 from craigslist.

Skipped a couple draws with paper, pens, boring stuff..

And a few pics of my well-used service cart

Nice man I love seeing some nice tools that you can tell are used daily

First Post! Love this forum. Have been working out of a harbor freight box for the past 2 years. Finally upgraded. Top picture is most recent. You can see i have the wheels pointed the right way.

OLD

NEW

68" Epiq

 

[ToocoolZ28]

Love that orange

 

[slowmaro305]

Love that orange

Thanks, i will get around to some drawer pics soon.

 

[zkling]

Thanks, i will get around to some drawer pics soon.

Wow, that is really nice. I am personally a fan of thin drawers and really like that 2nd full length drawer on your box. If I was to purchase a newer bottom box, that is about ideal in my mind. What are the dimensions / model number?

I also like the person's box to the left of yours.

Thank you very much

Its 68" long, 30" Deep, 46" High. Model # KERN682B0PJK

The one next to me is about 30 years old and i have no idea on the details. I think he said its a krl and the snap on logo has fallen off long ago. His is about the same depth and height, just not as wide.

Some Drawer Pics

 

[slowmaro305]

And i still keep a 26inch harbor freight by my alignment rack

 

[upgrading]

Nice Snap-on set there.

 

[sberry]

This one is misc/pullers/drivers and brackets in the bottom, busted small tools and some extras, real generic stuff used to fashion other things, some specialty fittings.

The second one is the rest of the sets and mainly hardline tools not on the service carts and some specialty wrenches etc.

 

[sberry]

I don't care if it takes a minute to find it, just dont want to lose it. I don't use this stuff daily,,, or hourly like other stuff. Got to have it but no need to wade thru more things than I need.

 

[Adam McLaughlin]

Hey Slomaro305

WHAT is this tool circled in Yellow here??
What is this long handled wrench thing?
Can you show us a closeup?

Adam

 

[amlv20]

I would guess a breaker bar?

 

[ihateminimumwage]

Looks like a comfort grip breaker bar. For that length the handle should've been made twice as long. If something is fighting you bad enough to break that out, you'll be using both hands

Maybe it is designed for one hand use. That way you don't have to strain on a smaller bar with both hands. With that longer single handed bar you don't have to put your beverage down while working. Or worry about spilling it from straining.

Now here is a sensible person. Cheap tool box (relatively speaking) but full of high quality tools. Not much makes me laugh more than when you see someone with a $10,000 box and $100 worth of tools inside.

Just a follow up, sorry for being off topic.

Sure looks like the Matco either 24" or 30" breaker bar.

Yes those who are already responded are correct. Its the matco 30 inch breaker bar

That is what I call a "Real World" toolbox.

 

[Exceller8]

I just unloaded the HF top box tonight. This setup should work really great for my needs!

Looking good . Do the colors match in person or is that just me going crazy in the picture?

 

[SC-AW11]

Hey what is that red Mac electrical tool? And what is that OBD2 looking plug for? Also, whats in the boxes, and what constitutes a tool to go in them lol?

As someone said, nice set. But what have you used them for?

And thats a very nice lookin set of impacts. what kind are they? how much did you get them for? where from?

Thank you!!

 

[Guns R Tools]

My guess
Red Mac Tool = battery tester
OBD II plug=memory saver.
Snap on set = frozen/rounded jamb nut/tie rod. (Probably better than pipe wrench)

 

[durallymax]

Got some more Knipex.
Reorganized the drawer too, still a little more room for a couple others haha.

 

[Monte]

niiiiiiiiiice

Now that's a plier drawer!

I see you can only afford ones with red grips.

I know I know. I figured since I didn't use any one of them for extended periods of time I wouldn't really need them, at first I preferred the look of the regular handles and feared the multi component ones would be hard to clean and would take up more space. They definatley are not hard to clean and the look has grown on me, but I would have invested too much more into them I think haha. Plus this way almost all of them look the same.

Congratulations, I think that single drawer has more $ value than all the tools in my box combined.

What are the dimensions of that drawer?

 

[Exceller8]

That's what my setup would look like if I won the lottery. Pure beauty right there!!

 

[toddacimer]

I cant compete for the # of red handles, but I can appreciate a full plier drawer

i still wanna go swimming in that drawer...love knipex.
