I really like that blue, looks very sharp.

 

[peterbilr98]

Love the look of each of them. Somewhere down the line I want to trade my Classic 96 in for a 68" Epiq with a similar drawer layout to your blue one, minus the power cabinet.

The drawer layout is the way they come you can make you layout eny way you want I think it's extra thou I just wanted the powercab the other box is all drawers

Finally got some drawer shots

Cranberry Delight!

cranberry w/ chrome trim is one of my fav colors.

closest thing to red, without being red !!

 

[lugnut71]

dealer told me yesterday, that cranberry is no more, guess its with teal, and green mica now. Seems like cranberry and teal, maybe black were the new colors back in the day. It seems early black ones were Earnhardt or intimidator. I almost bought a teal one in 1995, thought it looked really sharp!

around the same time i bought a teal cart.

[onewrench]

Thanks groundpounder, figured it was the "95th anniversary" LOL but didn't know it wa the epiq series. Like the color / drawer layout from the pic. Now I'll take a lool at the snap-on site to see what it can tell me

Yeah that is a pretty sweet color combo.

Yeah that is a pretty sweet color combo.

This one cost a bit more but it's worth it to me. I'm happy with it and that's what matters right?

Yeah it fits everything so far plus some room to grow.

"Youngin' Toolbox"

This is my Husky 27" 16 drawer tool chest

I got it for Christmas of 2014, I also have included some pictures of me and my fathers shop. I'm 18 years old from Michigan, senior in high school and love, love, love vehicles, tools, engines, anything that goes, or wants to. I play Soccer and Baseball at a very high level, (committed Division 1 for soccer) so I don't have as much time as I would like, but I spend as much time as I can out here.

My box mainly consists of Harbor freight, Tekton, snap-on, Husky, Eastwood (screwdrivers), gear wrench (ratcheting wrenches) and (bit driver set), Channel Lock, cresent, Pittsburgh and Irwin (pliers), Craftsman USA, and Pittsburgh wrenches on the wall (combination wrenches), HF hammers, chisels, punches, saws, calipers, squares, electrical tools, most odds and ends you get the idea. I'm not a professional, so I don't need the most expensive stuff nor do I have the money for that stuff, but I'm always upgrading the best I can! (There are a few tools out of the box right now because I'm working on a small weed whacker engine rebuild).

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy, I know it's not like most of the boxes or shops up here, but I take pride in it, and make do with it as best I can.

My dads box is craftsman USA from the late 70s early 80s, he raced Can-Am cars professionally, and kept one of the teams boxes, and shop equipment (parts washer, drill press, band saw etc.)

his pride and joy is behind his box, (2001 BMW M5 limited edition blue) don't let him catch you touching it.

We don't have sufficient power to the garage to run a MIG or Stick welder, but we do have an old Nickel Bronze welder we use from time to time.

I hope you guys enjoy, I love seeing all your posts!

ok ok finally got the epiq with ring work top so hopefully the power top comes soon my older72 Krl and the old trusty HF 56 not bad for a cheap box like it better than eny craftsman I've had

If you mind me asking, what was the up charge to get the sapphire blue paint?
I talked to a local snap on dealer that said he has never seen or heard of this color and he doubted me that this color was even possible to get!

Looks like you're off to a good start & good to see someone your age interested in building a good set.

I worked out of my dad's Craftsman box (a ball bearing workcenter) liked his so much, I bought my own. Now I have two CM professional series chests.

Be careful, tools are a disease, one that's very good to catch.

And welcome to the forum.

I just sold one of my mastercraft boxes,

To make room for this,

It's a 2 year old 72" Masters series, paid just under half of retail price... Some of the drawers were never used!!

Owners manual was still in the plastic wrap,

Even had the pen,

Sweet catch!

18yrs old? that is a really nice collection you have there. my tool "collection" at that age was like 1/10th of yours. very nice setup!

 

[pi_guy]

Good question David W!

I got to thinking why it seems every toolbox-portable, chest, and cabinet, are always steel. I guess it is mostly so the metal drawers can flex when weighed down. I think aluminum is more rigid and will fracture before it flexes or bends. But maybe we can hear what the builder has to say about it.

My Montezuma box was made in Aluminum. It weighs 41 pounds empty.
The material is thicker than the steel version. It is used as my track box.

Cost: Steel is a LOT cheaper to buy for the purpose, and usually, the extra weight isn't a factor. (Look at scrap prices per lb. for an idea on the difference...)

Flexibility of the aluminum depends on grade, temper and thickness, 6061 T6 is very rigid, and machines well. 5052-H32 bends well, welds reasonably machines closer to bubble gum. 5086 welds very well, but is really like bubble gum to machine...) However, put 6061-T6 in a high vibration environment and it stress cracks easily in sheet form and tends to form cracks at bends when folded sharply. (It also has a "grain" so you get some weird goings on when bending it into boxes),

Moreover, you really don't want the metal of a tool box flexing too much; many new inexpensive boxes use VERY thin steel and the bottoms oil-can and won't carry much weight (25 lbs in some cases, compared to 400 for Lista/Vidmar (in larger drawers) and IIR 200 in a Snap-on box?

Cart on the right looks to be a Harbor Freight 4 drawer. Damn good carts.

Thanks! Yeah, the majority of my presents for the past 3-4 years have consisted of tools, plus most of my spending money goes towards what I need in the shop!

Started collecting tools beginning of last year and keep growing to what I have now and still more I would like to purchase. I stared buying them after I got my jeep and began working on it. Then I started working on other people's cars and such. I tend to work on a many of different things from metal projects like making a roof rack, a lot of car stereos and sub boxes, matienance things, lift kits... Whatever comes up It started with a craftsman tool set of sockets and ratcheting wrenches grew from there. collection of sockets mostly craftsman with some harbor freight papers and pencils hex tools and ratchets. Bought the harbor freight ones due to being more fine tooth. wrenches all craftsman, gasket scrapers and pry bars.
hammers and special tools (spring compressors, door panel remover, torque wrench) pliers harbor freight and kobalt
hex bits and Torx bits.
dewalt Impact great for interior stuff, and bits for it electrical stuff made this for the side, holds spare screwdrivers, Torx drivers and picks.
