Let's see your toolbox.

[gipraw]

Measured out the available space in my shed and did some simple math. Drawers are like 24"X 54". Had Home Depot make all the cuts and assembled it in place. Slides came from Rockler. It's a tank.

Nice I like that. I installed a Rockler lumber storage shelf last night in the garage and was impressed with the quality. Do you have a part number for the slides by chance?

 

[timmyisme22]

You should do a toolbox tour. Show us what a guy in a condo has in his box.
Thanks

Got one more or less as well. Live in a basement. Still working on organizing so no inside pictures yet. Got the top and bottom for $67 after tax, the middle for $30 after tax, and the portable was my first at around $50. Stack-On was my dads old one and I turned it into my throw box with liner coating the interior.

 

[warmpancakes]

Sounds awesome got a pic?

day it was delivered, Im still moving tools around in it so no drawers pics yet

 

[merbie]

nice, killer draw layout

 

[warmpancakes]

It took a few weeks to finally decide on that layout, I have enough space so things arent piled, but not enough deep drawers for the larger plastic case items, pullers, ball joint press etc

 

[merbie]

i dont use any tools in cases so a box layout like that would be perfect for me, wouldnt mind one in micah green....my wallets shaking

 

[wagzilla]

wait for toolbox truck they can waive the charge, I have a appointment with the tool box truck in a week or so to order my locker, I wanna add extras to it and he can waive the charge

I have my new tool box already to late!!! I have a epiq 147 inches just wish I would have changed the set up. the rock and roll guy was just at my house last week

Saw this at Huntington Beach, California Costco for $499.

I bought this same toolbox other day from a Costco in the UK for £444.

First proper size toolbox I've owned.
Here are some photos of how it is at the moment, ive ordered some spanner organisers and will slowly start to build up my collection to fill my drawers.

Some of the drawers are empty at the moment.

Ive ordered one of those shark tooth spanner racks which will look good here

This is the electrical drawer, im going to purchase a cable crimp set which should fit in this drawer nicely.

Yes, thats a Supercharger, Eaton M24 to be exact and it will be going on my mini eventually.

Im going to make or buy something to stand these up on their side to give me more space for more vice grips and all my circlip pliers (Not shown)

 

[merbie]

you're from the uk aswell arent you?

 

[toddjb]

All, thought I would throw this up here.

I'm looking for some info on this Gerstner I just picked up.

If you can help me out, check out the post here:

My Craftsman boxes with Snap on decals with lots of 2" drawers. Well organized, just a sampling. Snap On yellow handles are my favs

 

[wyo george]

What did you use to make your inserts?

Black and red drawers are from www.foamfittools.com. Most of the others are either Craftsman foam from long ago or Kaizan foam, stuff which I found out about here. Love that stuff too! It comes in either 60 or 30mm thick so it's good for larger tools too. I still have more work to do.

the 299 piece Craftsman USA socket set fits in 3 - 2" drawers and is extremely handy to sort and find. I want Pete at Foam Fit to make a "quick drawer" for the most used sockets and rachets all in one. I have several more of his organizers I'm working on as well. It has been a 3-4 year project for me and I can always find the tool I need fast. Fast Cap sells the Kaizan foam and it's cheap, works out to about $4-5 a drawer. It is so awesome to work with and extremely fast. Love that stuff too.

I got a 66" Proto last week to replace my 56" HF. It was heavily used, but it was love at first sight.

Fast forward a couple days and I find a deal on a shiny new Proto 50" workstation with matching 36" top chest. I really only wanted the top chest to build into a service cart to match my 66". Seller wouldn't separate so I bought the top and bottom combo with intentions of selling the bottom. Now that I have it home, not sure I can part with it.

Not at all, man. It's a great start for where you're at right now.

 

[vwracer]

Those foam drawer inserts sure do look nice. But they sure waste a lot of damn drawer space. Never will happen in my boxes!

 

[Bighead38]

A few more drawers

This looks amazing. Very well done IMO. I really wish I had the space to do it.

What are those tools with the black handle with yellow lettering in it?

 

[ChrisPace]

2" shallow drawers, I have 300 sockets fully organized with easy access in 6 inches of drawer space. (22 by 16.5"). As an experiment I took one 4" drawer and just poured all the sockets in there and it filled to the top. you might as will just store them in a bucket.
If you stored 300 sockets on the normal upright storage products. You would need a 4" and a 3" drawer most likely. That's 6 point and 12 point of every size available.
. Many industries require that you use this kind of organization method for efficiency and speed. Let alone the fact that I've never lost a tool. Shallow 2 inch drawers, yes it does raise the cost of your cabinet a little but you get it backtenfold in time and efficiency. No empty air in the cabinet if you do it right. Your faster more importantly.

How did you cut them out? Is that a premade design? What material or where can you buy it?

What are those tools with the black handle with yellow lettering in it?

they are bike tools. I recognize some bottom bracket tools, a chain whip, cartridge tools, and of course a couple of actual bottom brackets sitting in there.

Bingo. The logo on the tools is Nashbar's, a very well known, catalog/online bike store. Been around since the early '70's.

That's how that goes If that top chest was blue I'd be trying to buy it off of you
