nothing wrong with craftsman where im sitting. their evolv line however, id rather by HF.

 

[Outlawmws]

I'll have to respectfully disagree, even USA craftsman gets bashed repeatedly on here. Im not complaining, to each his own.

So does SO and every other major brand for various reasons. You will always have some haters. but it is FAR from a dominant theme. The primary complaint about Craftsman is their current take it all overseas and act like its the same.

My $350.00 KRL 756 with unknown side box, full of mostly Craftsman tools from the 1960s-1970s with some newer stuff mixed in. Would love to find a low priced KRL 751 to complement it.

Nice collection there.

Mike.

Thanks Mike, many years of adding to it. Plus I have about the same tools in a trailer in Florida, except in a 3 tiered Craftsman. Absolutly no room to grow in the trailer.

Yep, I know what you mean about growing out of boxes. I have outgrown my Snap-On KRL and have resorted to storing some of my "not used too often" tools in overhead cabinets.

Here is my current setup. The SS Kobalt belongs to a friend(maybe he'll forget about it lol). The Craftsman is mine. Just bought the 5 drawer top and intermediate chest yesterday for 100 bucks at Sears scratch and dent. The 3 drawer is my old top. It will probably find a home on the opposite side of the garage on my shelving. The bench is new and designed to float 2 HF 44's on 1/2 plywood underneth whenever I come up with an extra $700.

the side box will be disapearing soon, and the pro to locker and proto side cabinet will be added

HF 44, Crafty Pro vise, delta grinder, and HK tunes on a butcher block top made from 2x4s.

Closer look at the top. This is the extra drop so I made a cutting board for the garage

Top Drawer: ratchets, sockets, etc.

Screwdrivers, picks, scrapers, hex/torx keys

Misc top drawer: knife, tapes, etc.

Metric wrenche drawer

Air chucks, tire gauges etc.

SAE wrench drawer, adjustables

Drill Bits, inserts etc.

Pliers, vice grips

Blades, punches

Impact sockets

Hammers

Bottom drawer

Taps and my GOOD bits

yes, ill take some soon!!!

 

[indyokie]

Here is my setup - 3 @ 52" Craftsman Griplatch bottoms- one Griplatch top ( far end ) I used 2x4 as a top to make these fuction as my workbench as well. The closest one I roll around inside the garage- others typically remain where they are.

Nice setup Can you share how you made your butcher block top? Specifically how you joined the edges? Glue? Biscuit? Other? That looks really nice on the cheap. Did you plane or sand the entire thing after glue up?

I like that Binford sticker, takes me back to the days of that show.

i dig it. i like your wrench racks. where did you pick them up?

 

[pfctblu]

thanks guys.

The 2x4 BB top was just 2x4s ripped into 1-1/2 strips, then glued up (no biscuits or dowels or anything, just Titebond blue #2 ) and clamped. Then it was planed by hand with a Jack plane till reasonably smooth. Hint: pick your 2x4s carefully,and pay attention to keeping it flat during glue up to make this easier in the end.

Very happy with the vise mounted on the box like this and use it all the time. The top has held up really well and the extra cutting board has been really useful to take abuse that WOULD have been dished out on the chest top. Same board also saves abuse on my wood bench as well.

The wrench racks are Ernst from Summit. and I cut a few of them down in size to match my quantities. The GW stubbies came with those racks. The wrenches are nice, but I'm not a big fan of the racks though.

I still need to fab up a slotted side shelf for the roller to hold my Wilde pry bars. Anyone done this yet for the HF 44?

 

[durallymax]

Filled up a couple of my screwdriver drawers with some new Wiha's. First pic is phillips/slotted. Purple ones are all Microfinish. Most are heavy duty. A few of the red are just softfinish drivers that they didn't have in Microfinish. The red ones with red shafts are screwholding. They're badass. They physically clamp the screw.



This drawer is all Torx. Blue handles are Torx Plus, half of the red handles are screw holding torx and the other half are ball headed torx. The stubby has torx bits in the end of it. The L keys are in an ergostar holder.

 

[Blöckw@rt]

Very nice Wiha stuff !!

 

[furbis]

probably time I post my boxes, I have enjoyed looking at what everyone else has for a couple years now.

my big box

this holds my most used tools and is my most used box, its been great and saved me lots of steps

the one I just picked up yesterday, needed more room

 

[cburnscrx]

Very nice. That's a very good setup/combo!

Very nice Wiha drivers! I just bought my first set of Wiha insulated screwdrivers, and I think I'm hooked. I like the shape and feel of their grips more than any other driver I've used.

 

[redyota]

just brought this home traded a chain saw for it it's time to fill it with some nice tools

 

[Adam McLaughlin]

Props for the home made goodness!

Here's my box I put together to keep at school in the metal fab shop. I'm a graduate student in art and I was tired of bringing stuff from home or looking around for tools there either broken or missing. Found this old C-man box and filled it up with extra stuff I had plus all my machine shop for using the mill and lathe. Built a cart for it and now I have everything I need within reach.

 

[derwin75]

What's the name of the company in the red circle I mark on the picture?

Now that's my kind of box. Care to show a drawer or two, maybe one with machine shop items?

I really like the frame you built to make a work station above each of the tool chests (picture in post #10302). Very simple, cheap to make, and effective.

 

[gagreen]

My snap on driver has had this on his truck for a while and I finally broke. I needed it in a bad way tho lol. He did throw in a "free" bag of jerky. I need to weld up a plier rack and consolidate the pliers into a single drawer.

 

[Danyo]

Hey everyone!
First post obviously, but here's my box, this pic is when I first got it, had it now for around half a year and getting a side cabinet next month.

 

[Scottishross]

Here's my tool chest

 

[Danyo]

I wish my budget could've bought me that one!

 

[Radio Ron w4ron]

WOW, that black and gold is flashy for sure.
What they need now is big gold wheels and O-Ring tires




.

 

[Danyo]

You can see the wheels clearer in McLeodross' photo..the wheels are flashy. Look like they belong on an original fast and furious car!

No, I was thinking about wheels like this...

One lonely (and metric?) Craftsman raised panel wrench?

 

[cburnscrx]

I like the Clarke tool boxes. I have a red and black one at home with the friction slides. Very well built...in retrospect I wish I would have gone with the HD version. Of course I now have the 44" HF, but I digress.

I have never seen a tile floor in a shop before. Do you have issues breaking tiles when dropping heavy items? I would think they would be all kinds of broken tiles.

I've personally broken a few tiles throwing hammers down after use or brake discs etc. but most the guys here are very careful...plus there's a million work benches scattered all over the place so it's a rare occasion breaking tiles!
