Let's see your toolbox.

[JustinsGr8]

Kind of a crappy picture but it's a Krl 1022 with polished drawer guards and blue anodized trim, it's changed a little now there is a shelf above the screen that holds my case tools. I upgraded to a 84" triple bay epic but it isn't in yet

Nice Snappy
84" Epiq
I see the jacket. What kind of bike do you run?
I wanted the Snap on KRL1033 but I don't have the tools to fill it, I would need to get rid of My 56 and two tool carts to fill that thing and here you are talking about 12 more inches of box. Jeeeeeez

Just moved into my new HF 56", I'm waiting for some more racks / rails but I got pretty much everything in there.

 

[Tech89]

I brought the first MATCO box to my dealer then upgraded and bought a bigger one (that is now paid off ) and then 3 others bought Matco boxes not long after. Needless to say the Matco truck doesn't miss a week around here.

Is that on 28" deep or 25" deep? Hard to tell from the angle. I got a 28" triple bay and my Matco dealer has 25" triple bay on his truck now that he'd do a trade for my box. I like the drawer configuration on the 25" a little better but I'd loose quite a bit of space going to a 25". Same drawer setup as the one you got.
My current box

Box pending for trade

Told me to thjnk about it for a few days.

Prolly for the awesome drawer lay out on that black box

I would keep what you have. I understand about the drawer layout and all and yes it looks good but you will be losing a lot of space. I would keep what you have..
Big question is: Do you need another box (Just because of layout)?
Does the box you have now hold everything you need it to hold? (if its full the tools won't fit in the new box)
Will the new box make you happy for years to come?
As long as your happy with it. I made a mistake and sold my KRL 777 last year and was hurt because I could not find another box like it and if I did it was not deep enough..
I regret selling it and so I tracked another one down and I am not selling it ever. (I am happy)
Take a few days and do the Pros and serious Cons..
Just my own two cents.
No offense at all.

Nice, simple and clean
Nice tools:thumb up:
Looks like the box is holding everything you need it to hold. I like the price on the HF units as well and they leave room for more cash to buy more tools

Its 25" deep. Personally I think I would like your drawer layout more than mine. Pliers get spread out over 3 drawers, pullers in 2 different drawers. I would rather have a few different items in one big drawer rather than the same items in a couple different drawers.

 

[JustinsGr8]

Thanks for that info.

 

[bobcatdan]

I'd keep the full width drawers.

 

[90zcar]

I'd stick with what u got...sounds like eventually ud find an excuse not to like that one then and want another. Going at that rate you will always have a tool box payment. Who wants that ya know
Kinda like some people and their new cars...buy a fancy new car and get sick of it a year later so they trade it in on another. They are never satisfied and just keep tacking up the payments

I really like your set up man! Especially the top drawer on the left. Very Nicky set up.

Good point. I've kind of been thinking about that as well. Right now I'm able to fit most of my stuff that's the same in one drawer. With that 25" I would loose right around 3 cubic feet plus my long drawers on the left side. Eventually I'll either have to get a decent sized roll cart or add on to my current box, or bring more tools home with me to make more space. I think I'll keep my current box. Thanks guys. Any other opinions are welcomed.

Hey guys just did some re-organizing of a few of my tool box drawers thought I would post up some pics.

Came with the hutch from Matco. That bulb has been lit for 5 years straight!

That's my snowmobile coat and I ride a 2010 skidoo xrs, in the summer I race motocross on a 2012 crf 450. That's my work box. I was just informed that the epic is a no go since my boss is doing all the snap on build a bay setup so the Krl gets to come home to the race shop

 

[JustinsGr8]

Here is my Milwaukee drawer
I try to double up on every tool.

Cool! At least your box will be at home safe.

Nice HF unit... Is it the 44?

 

[ugotd8]

Just debadged my new HF 56 and had it striped...






All sockets, ratchets and extensions (almost) all in one drawer. A first for me

 

[JustinsGr8]

Nice and clean....

Are those sockets holders near the drawer front magnetic? the black stand up ones. And where did you get them if you don't mind me asking

 

[p3nnypacker]

my tool boxes so far all snap on.

first box picked it up off my mac dealer


traded up to this with my S/O dealer


then a year later im with this had it for around 2years ago bought a locker to add on for more room


also got a bluepoint trolley/cart

Yes they are "magnetic". No they are not a good product. No you don't want them. I got them at Lowes for a steal, that the only reason I bought them. The 1/4 drive racks were 25c a piece the 3/8 were 50c and the 1/2 were 1 buck so I bought them. They don't hold sockets well at all. They are the least magnetic item that has ever been called magnetic. Whats more important is that the glue that holds the magnet on is weaker than the weakest of weak magnets that could still be considered a magnet and not just be described as pseudomagnetism. So what we have here is a magnet not strong enough to bond to the metal its supposed to be attached to, held on by glue less strong than the magnet it self.

What models are these? I kinda like them....

I wish my wrench drawer looked like that!

 

[toddacimer]

My brother gave me a hard time that my metric sockets were on the left side of my top drawer and my metric wrenches were on the right side of my second drawer so I made the flip today.

 

[Mxjr12]

Ya it's good and bad, the good is I get a company provided bigger box since it's like 2 of my 1022s without wheels and the bad is my box being at home means I need to fill it again

 

[Adam McLaughlin]

GREAT looking wrench drawer boys!

What's the "special" SO in it's own foam at the bottom nearer the left side?

 

[toddacimer]

It is an OEX16 1/2" wrench engraved with SAE. It was a gift from a Snapon Kenosha head quarters tour I went on with the Society of Automotive Engineers.
