Let's see your toolbox.

I know nothing about this. Wish I had room. If you are in the Houston area and a Snap-On fan:

Well, I upgraded...
My old C-man was getting pretty overloaded, so I bit the bullet on a new bottom cab. Introducing the International VRB4211, Canadian Made, 5 year warranty.

Fairly happy overall, didn't have to sell my future children to pay for it and it's at least heavy enough for my uses. I've seen the same box in the local auto shop and it seems to have held up, though I wouldn't mind a second set of slides for the socket drawer, (any advice for sourcing slides would be appreciated).

NAPA sells International boxes under their own name, but still uses the International model names. And they list parts for them.

Been lurking for a while finally set up an account and here's my 1st post. At home set up. Mostly just used to maintain my f350 and my wife's g35. Lots more tools around the shop but this is my automotive set up. Husky box and a solid mix of milwaukee, gearwrench, snap on, hf, and some German stuff. Sorry Bout the crappy phone pics.

I don't know if you bought the centering spike for your WERA KOLOSS hammer, but if you look closely at the "cheater bar" handle. There an indentation of a circle. If you cut that out, then you can put the spike in the extension handle.............. Awesome set of tools btw

I really like that Kennedy top box, got anymore pics of it and the contents?

I was hoping to really like the Kennedy box myself when I bought it last year to take care of my excess automotive tool storage needs. I made the move to purchase it after noting how well it matched my KR1000 in its external dimensions (53"). After using it for a year and trying to get it to bow to my organizational wishes, I stopped fighting it and bought the KR1010 side box to take over duties for it. After I ditched a couple of blow molded cases, everything in the Kennedy top box fit into the KR1010 in the exact sorting configuration I've been trying to acheive with the Kennedy box. The overall quality of the box is OK, but no where on par with my Snap-on experience over the last 25 years. From an automotive tool use perspective, I can say the Kennedy box is good from far-but far from good; the shortcomings are its drawer configuration/size and overall fitment. I will put it to good use however on the other side of the garage to store much of my woodworking tools. I hope this helps anyone who may have been considering one of this Kennedy boxes.

Ok thanks! At least it looks good

I finally unboxed my anniversary present from the wife. This Milwaukee top box.

I really like it. The way the front opens is great for a short guy like me.

I like the color of the drawers. When I finish paying off my car and finance a Snap On box, I want it in Plum Crazy Purple.

 

[moondog66]

I posted a pic of my box a while ago when I found this sight. At that time I wasn't aware that all of you would like to see what I have in my drawers. Well I took some pics of my "junk" for your voyeuristic pleasure.

This is my work set up.

[bodyguy16]

Some nice boxes! What do you guys use your deadblows on??

 

[Squddle]

Here is an old timey snap on box I got at an auction, and the little red one on the left is one I used when I worked at a dealership as a lube tech. The one on the far right is a used one snapon had for sale I got real cheap.

My son had that exact top box (middle in picture) that I bought him for high school graduation about 5 years ago. He recently sold it as he took over my work toolbox.

Menards has Hansen trays on sale so I finally picked up a a set for my impacts and 1/2" chromes. So far I like them a lot. I plan on getting more. BTW, I tried the tool shop brand for my 1/4 set and they didn't fit, don't waste your time.

 

[Waggoner72]

I finally managed to snag another Vidmar cabinet. I've been searching for over a year now. I had known about this one but I could never get the owner to sell it to me. Persistence pays off.
It is 12 drawers to save yourself the counting. I got it for $350. I can't wait to see it beside my current Vidmar



Current Vidmar 13 drawers


Even though I've posted before, here's my snap-on epiq with mini side locker. All these boxes are in my garage at home.

 

[Greg85mcss]

Here's my work cart. Have another one at home.

Don't forget running out to get starbucks twice a day. Then smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day

Shuffled things around in the pliers drawer so it's not quite such a disaster...

So basically what you're saying is, do not buy Fords or Nissans. I hear ya loud and clear boss

Long time lurker, here is my Mastercraft tool box I got on sale plus some of the tools. It's by no means large enough but I can manage for a while with mods. These pictures are a few months old and I have many new tools in there now. Once upon a time I thought cheap tools were the only way to go but now I know better. Always looking out for deals these days. The MAC Knuckle Savers strip bolts and have to go. I almost strictly use the long pattern Snap On wrenches (no Flank Drive for my main wrenches) but I have Wright imperial and metric sets on the way for secondary. My entire toolbox up to this point is all SAE since it's all I use but we are about to run into metric stuff so it's a good excuse to splurge.

 

[LXCam]

Looking good 32 and welcome to the board. Watch your wallet round here, lotta thieving tool companies round these parts that will grab your very last dime.

 

[3200fps]

For sure, I wish I would have known a few years ago what I do now as far as tool preference goes. Would have saved me thousands in money I didn't need to spend.

 

[MattVette89]

Picked up the last Hansen tray today for my socket drawer. Not sure if this is my final configuration yet.

I cannot deal with having one tool on top of another, this sets my ocd in overdrive

Picked it up in December...2014 convention purchase at a price I thought was an error when he first told me. Fits in with the rest of the white Snappy shop
