Let's see your toolbox.

[JUNK-MAN]

Hey, G-Ram, what make is that red toolbox on top of your Proto? I have one that looks like it that I am restoring but not sure of the make. It used to be my dad's. Thanks

I believe it is a beach.

It is actually a Mastercraft sold by Canadian Tire, but is identical to and most likely made by Beach

Thanks guys. Would there be any markings on it like the manufacturer or date? Thanks again and some real nice tool boxes here.

I believe it is a beach, looks quite similar to my Craftsman top that I have on the workbench right now. does it have six drawers (three in the first row with three full width below that, bottom one being a deeper drawer)?

Yes that is the layout. I actually have 2 of each, top box and bottom roller. Identical in every way, but one says beach, the other says mastercraft.

Recently picked up a blue point tool cart. Set it up as a diag cart along with some basic sockets I use everyday

 

[The Original Fisho]

I bought this used KRL1022, KRL1201, KRL1012 combo unit a month ago. Its big, stands about 8 feet high with the top lid open. Not as pretty as some of the others here, minor cosmetic issues, scratches and dings, but it has lots of room inside to keep organized. Helps me make a living. And I like it.

That's a real nice setup you have there

Where did you get that set of flex probes??

Got them from my car quest supplier cause they were on sale. But they are an AES wave kit. https://www.aeswave.com/uTest-Advanced-Terminal-Test-Kit-p9467.html

There was a guy selling a similar kit on eBay for a no-brainer price. Shoot him an email, maybe he'll be getting more. There was a thread about it here, I think GJ members bought half of them. I grabbed 2, one for a friend.

Thanks, I was hesitant when I pulled the trigger on the purchase but not a hint of regret.

I also bought 2 of them at the time. Only used them a couple times so far but couldn't pass up the price at the time.

That's tight...how are they powered? Do you have a name/brand? I would love to do something like that in my hutch

they just a 110v they were on sale at the beginning of the year I just got around to installing them. I am going to put some under the box also.

oh nice! That's super easy then

My box. Used HF 56" bottom bought off CL, new 56" top.

Pics of a few drawers. One with sockets, one with cordless (mostly Bosch). sockets are a combination of Craftsman USA and HF Pitt Pro impacts, with the odd Kobalt or Husky socket thrown in. Ratchets are CM USA, Gearwrench 120XP flex head, and Taiwan Kobalts.

Cordless is mostly Bosch12v series, plus Bosch 18v impacts. Also have Bosch 18v saws, drills but they are not in here.

I do not have a large compressor - the California Air Tools on the top of the box is it. Thing is soooooo quiet. The miter saw is a 7.25" $35 sears clearance saw I got about 4-5 years ago. Was laying hardwood flooring and used it to make all the end cuts. Accuracy wasn't important as I just had to be within 1/8th of an inch. Way easier to move around and have it right there in front of me at the end of each row than my 10" SCMS.

That's all for now.

Oh, and going to try and pick up the HF 30" cart this weekend. Just a few drawers shy of being able to fit everything in the 56 and figure the cart would be a better option than the 7 drawer side chest.

Good looking box. You will like the cart. Great value for the money.

So last summer I replaced my HF44 roller and a Husky stack with the HF 72. I love it, it holds everything that I have and allows me to open one drawer for a specific set of whatever I'm needing. (It keeps my OCD in control), but last night I found an AD on craigslist about 45 minutes away of a guy selling a HF 56" top for $150.....so I got it.

Here's the pic, I'm so happy, now I have a little extra room for my newly acquired tools of this past year.

Also, a couple quick drawer shots until I get everything put away, then I'll take full drawer pics.

What was damaged on your Husky box? I don't see anything wrong.

Ok, I've waded through all 510 pages over the course of a couple months. I feel like I've earned the right to post my garage setup now.

8 or 10 months ago, was driving by a roadside flea market and noticed a big red toolbox. Turns out the guy had (3) KRA4810's. He wanted $250 each or $450 for all. Bought them all and turned (2) of them around for the full $450 back.

Then I caught the Husky box on Black Friday sale for $199, found a damaged one, and talked a manager down another $75.

So, I'm into both boxes for a total of $125. They were a nice upgrade from my 15 year old CM bottom of the line friction slide stack and 5 drawer workbench. Now I just need to get new slides for the hammer drawer so the detents work, and build a new bench.

 

[smuro04]

A little dusty, and still needing to remove some decal adhesive, but here's my set-up:



Two Husky 52 bottoms. I'll get a tour together once some more of my tools arrive and I get everything settled in.

It been a minute since I've posted my current boxes.

And my basement workshop box set up:


I'm sure they're will be more to come...

Funny enough I bought the combo in the third pic just because I was looking for that top and it's cheaper to buy the whole set. Good luck looking for a top, I still like my single stack combos especially the late 80's models.

 

[ToolNuttt]

I remember a year when I went crazy on purchasing all sorts of pliers. ended up with 100+ pliers of all sorts of size, angles, and specialty usage. Had to use my top drawer of my toolbox as my pliers drawer. (commonly a socket drawer)

 

[Hopalong604]

Excuse the mess. Recently got the 2 Wurth cabinets and put it up yesterday. It wasn't really meant to be wall mounted so I went to homedepot and got L brackets and a 96" MDF board. I still screwed the cabinets to wall studs for precaution. I think it goes well with my International box. The OCD in me want to get rid of the black husky and just get the red HF 44" arggg

Looks like a Waterloo to me. Poor thing looks like it had a hard life with the sag in all the drawers.

Drawers all open and I got it cheap so I am happy. It could be a Waterloo.

I like it for the price. The international casters are poor and the way they are mounted is a week point. The drawers have a bit of lateral play. But again, for the price it does the job. I have a krl722 for work and you can really see/feel the difference between the 2.
