Let's see your toolbox.

I know the pic is real but it almost looks like scale model toys. Oh and you know you want to keep both.

I thought likewise. The detail on the mud on the drywall is what made me realize that it's full-scale.

LOL... I know, I thought the same thing; looks like a diorama.

Here it is with no boxes.

As stated, just arrived off of the truck a lil while ago. Been a slack day at work so I was able to make quick work of swapping from the old to the new.

And my trade-in in front of the new:

Too early for drawer pics yet, as I've got some serious reorganizing to do. Already luvin the xtra space!

Nice box! Awesome color choice!

SuperLeggera or LP560?

 

[FF_Chevy]

I only got to keep one box; Mac sent me a replacement box. I just wanted to share the pic.

You mean there are tool boxes in your pic? All I see is supercar ****

 

[MechanicNamedJohn]

SuperLeggera or LP560?

No, it's a base coupe with a Superleggera spoiler and 570 fascia.

 

[zkling]

Wow John, that looks like fun.

[roadracer97]

That is an amazing setup john. congrats on being able to work on such cool cars. hows the shop going?

 

[thoraudio]

add a little tilt shift magic, and it really looks like a toy.

ACTUALLY...

I don't do much with them at all right now. In about 3-4 weeks I will hopefully be moving the box and tools to my new shop and clearing out the garage for my wife to park inside.

What an awful waste of a garage.

Picked up the red HF box yesterday it is replacing the black smaller cart also from HF. When I had them side by side transferring everything over I couldn't get over how much size difference there is. I'm gaining another drawer and they are all 3" deeper.

 

[ShaneMSnyder]

^^Last weekend I got the black 4 drawer for free but also bought the red 5 drawer. The black one is pretty nice but the red one is my favorite for sure!

I highly recommend going to 4 swivel casters. you don't think you need it till your tool is just out of arm's reach and you can grab the whole cart and pull it to ya. love it.

VERY nice setup. Really though, side handles on that top box? That seems a bit ambitious.

What are your plans for all that open pegboard? Looks like you have a very nice shop setup.

I like it. im guessing the handles are for when the drawers are out of the top box

 

[Scuderia-F1]

This is my main tool box. I have a smaller SnapOn box that stays in the house garage with 'home owner' tools in it.

Sweet Snappy box, wouldn't mind some drawer shots of that one!

 

[Rom'S]

Here are my toolboxes

 

[dodge610]

Here are my toolboxes

I would love to find 1 of the boxes like i your last 2 pics never seen 1 like that. I could put 1 like that to good use all my body work tools in the same box. Ya Buddy

The handles came with the box, forget about lifting it up! I have a microwave in the side locker. I have a few things on the pegboard but I'm going to leave it just about as is, I prefer a clean look.

If I had of known you guys (well some of you guys) liked these old gray and red Craftsman boxes, I would have posted this sooner. This was my dad's.

And what it's sitting on.

Mike that is a really nice setup, especially that bottom box with all the thin drawers. Hope it brings you good memories.

A little update on mine, this is my home shop toolbox. My work toolbox is a much smaller KRL but my employer provides a lot of the bigger stuff so not as much need for as many at work.

I added a set of SAE and Metric Snap-On ratcheting wrenches to my wrench drawer so I had to revamp the entire drawer to get everthing to fit. I also added a set of shallow Proto SAE and Metric 1/2" drive sockets so I had to crowd things a bit more in my socket drawer.

Mike.

Here is an overview of my box.

Socket drawer. SAE on the left half and Metrics on the right.

Ratchets. 1/4", 3/8" and then 1/2" left to right. 3/4" are in the back of the socket drawer.

Wrench drawer. Again, SAE on the left half and Metrics on the right.

Impact drawer with a couple of cordless tools in it. I don't have a lot of cordless, I still prefer air over cordless in most applications.

Pliers.

A few of the bigger wrenches.

Yes, I'm a big fan of those multiple shallow drawers too. He had 2 of those roller cabinets, the other one is mostly full of hardware. And I have one identical, and another one similar too!

 

[zmotorsports]

Pretty impressive!

Thank you. I am a tool ***** like most others on here but what I really enjoy is using them rather than just collecting.

Mike.

I only see one pair!

what brand are those black drivers?

 

[John316]

what brand are those black drivers?

The larger set are Williams and the smaller/older set are old school Craftsman Pros circa 1990's. I actually have more of those in another box. Really wish they were still available cheaper than these

Ya, the only two pair of Channelocks that I have are a pair of slip-joint pliers and needle nose in that drawer. I do have a few more pairs at work though.

Figure it's been a year so time to do some updating. I've filled a lot of holes, got a lot of new things, and I'm never done organizing. I have recently went from a diesel tech position to a heavy towing company where I did a lot less wrenching and more car work (and towing), now back to a diesel tech job. I'm glad to be back and love the company I'm with. I'm also glad that I have really slowed down my tool buying and can start to spend on some other things. I'll never be done buying tools though. My new job has had me changing some things up a bit. Now I roll my box around with me wherever I go instead of leaving my box in one spot and loading into my cart for long jobs. Now I leave my cart against the wall for my chargers and less used things. I'm searching for a KRA4114 top box to free up some room in my main box, primarily electrical I think. I also have an older Mac top box that I use for a road box / home box. It either lives in the back of my pickup, my garage, or my friends shop where I do all my personal and moonlight work.

For some pics of what I work on everyday check this out. Diesel Mechanic Projects

Same here. Takes too long to open the photobucket links to view the larger pictures. I would rather just post the large picture right on the thread.

By the way Welderguy24, nice looking setup. Looks like you have all your holes filled (sorry that didn't sound right).

Mike.

Please don't put the full size pics, the click on photos are MUCH better, and easier to view.

Full size pics. Awesome set up by the way.
