I have the same box, same color. I love it, had it 2 years now. Hope yours works out great for you too.

Thank ya Red89gt. I have no complaints with it so far. In fact, my brother-in-law liked mine so much he bought one too. I see you have a Corvette convertible. How strange that mine came out of Chicago....

 

[Chngalay]

Stephen4785- I also have a "portable" toolbox, but mine is an F-150. It is a great thing when someone else pays for the tools you use. I have my personal collection (over 25 years now) and the tools the company pays for. It's great to be an American.....

Hey Sharky,

If hats wha I think it is, it's the same as mine. I haven't quite decided yet, but I may sell mine.

theres a member here looking to buy one of thoe boxes,

but i cant remember who it is

I'm not a huge fan of wooden boxes, but that is exceptionally nice. Great job on the build. Kinda funny as Kennedy makes a box just like that, but in metal. What do you typically work on? I spy some nice equipment in the background.

I like the metal boxes too, but this was a winter project that I made in my basement to kill time when it's too cold outside. Tool and Die/ Moldmaking is my trade. I don't have the typical socket sets and mechanic type tools at work. Just don't need them. I do have all that stuff at home though.
I'll get some pics of those too, nothing special, just shade tree mechanic stuff that you guys have seen a million times.

mikeselky85, your box just gave me wood....

Nothing like an organized toolbox!!!

I don't think I've ever posted in this thread.





Every inch is completely packed.

thanks! Im one of the lead guys at my shop so i need everything in place to work efficiently.

p.s. there is actually wood trim on the bottom of the box, so your statement made me laugh.

I'm concerned it may be difficult to find what you are looking for in there

That's a smoking deal!!

Not at all. Know where every single tool is without thinking about. When I'm under a car I can tell someone go in the garage, second box in, third drawer down, grab me the wrench on the right side.

I like that box a lot.

Replaced your cart is an understatement. Nice buy.

Man you stole that, double that would have been a good deal.

That works for me 99% of the time, but occasionally I get a helper who doesn't know his left from his right. Let's see what's inside them.

 

[mopar66]

Plus it came with a few tools. The extensions and the tie rod tool are harbor freight but the rest are quality.

Which drawer do you want? Lol

Some sockets


Specialty wrenches


Philips drawer


1/2" drive


3/8" drive


Punch




Some American wrenches


More sockets and Allen


More wrenches and crowfoot


More wrenches






Long pliers


Vise grip


Dbe wrench


Some air tools and hammers


Wrenches, markers, 1/4" drive



Nut drivers, sockets, etc


Flathead


1/4",3/8",1/2" torque wrench


Some pliers


Small prybars and files




There is obviously much more but that's enough.

I know it looks bad. Obviously I would love to space it out but would need way more toolbox for that to happen. The important part is I know where everything is and can grab it right away to get to work. One day when I have a big shop I will get more boxes and get it up to garagejournal standards.

Small box in the truck

 

[Cope]

Damn! I'm almost sorry I asked. One thing, second picture, the top middle drawer; get the wrenches out of your parts drawer or the parts out of your wrench drawer. You have an impressive collection of good old vintage tools there. Thanks for sharing.

Love it.

 

[mopar66]

Man I thought I had a lot of tools.

 

[Bighead38]

Welders







Compressor


Hot rod

 

[Jwych]

Mikeselky86 I commend you on tools that actually appear used!!!! Sweet set up you got

 

[IFMJohn]

It's been a while since I posted my box (before I started working in the field). I'll throw up some updated drawer pictures tomorrow if I remember!

Here's a top drawer pic from a few weeks ago. I've moved some stuff around since then. I've really got to figure out something as far as organization of my ratchet/extension drawer goes. They are all just tossed in with my metric wrenches.

I've never seen those snap on hard handle Allen drivers. I would love to get them. You know the part number?

 

[JBradley500]

Bighead, that is a nice collection. Lots of good stuff in there. Also, Miss January had a pretty nice rack.

 

[mikeselky85]

its a discontinued set...im looking for the matching set of metrics.
i can check for a part number tomorrow, but they are very hard to track down

Glad you finally found your triple bay 30" deep box. Great choice ! I love the 2 full length top drawers. My favorite Snap On box and drawer layout. Congrats!

 

[jeepinerdeep]

I recently had a panic that my box was too full and there was no more space to be had. I just did a few hours worth of organizing and cleaning....viola space appeared. Not much leftover room, but no more panic. I took a few phone pics of some sample drawers.

Thanks!!! I appreciate your help on the one in Cleveland too. This was more then I wanted to spend but it worked out in the end.

Well you didn't compromise and in the end you got what you wanted. There is only one box out there that I like better than the KRL 1033. Its the Mac MB7432. I don't really know why but I just really want one.
