Let's see your toolbox.

[ronaldSwanson]

Got them both from a shop downsizing, one was at a shop, the other was at the owners house.

I know its just my OCD but those drawer layouts bother me because they are not mirrored between sides like the newer BIG's are. Nevertheless, awesome boxes.

 

[ronaldSwanson]

Here it is a 68" Epiq!

By far one of the best color combos out there.

Lol. Thank you sir.

 

[ronaldSwanson]

Yeah if you bought the 84" Epiq with the power bank the wide drawers are the size of the drawers on a 68". If you buy a triple bank 84" with all drawers the wider drawers in the middle are the same as a 60" Epiq.

I know you know that Heavy Metal Doc.

Anyway, it looks like the pull out power bank is a thing of the past now anyway All Epiq models on SO's Ultimator now show the new power drawer option only.

Pic from SFC2017....Epiq on left...Masters on right. The masters narrow bank is much narrower so they do it in two drawers. Bottom non powered 12" deep drawer with power tool organizer and another drawer with power for chargers.

I have never seen a powerbank in person so I am not familiar with how power is run into them. Are the new power drawers able to be added to an existing box?

 

[red94chev]

That is great!! I see you are livin' the High Life!

Only the best! Thanks Unruh and ZMotorsports.

Slowly getting this shop cleaned up. Just not sure how much longer I can deal with that faded red I just keep reminding myself I only paid 400 for it.

They are built in, not an add-on, though I guess you could remove a few drawers of the same width and put on in place. You might have to add omse other brackets behind the drawer, I'm not sure.
Power is run in through the back wall of the box shell and then has a guide assembly that allows the drawer to move in and out without damaging the cord.

They have a organizer you can buy now. Not sure on the power part

Now I need a green tool cart to match. It never ends

I asked him the same question when he emailed me the pics. They are Ernst. Check out ernstmfg.com. They have them on Amazon in red, blue and black. I think Snap-on offers them in orange and green.

Ditto on that and I am color blind to most blues! That contrast is nice!

Oemtools sells them for super cheap as well in green, I️ recommend them before snap on

That drawer configuration is simply awesome. Square inches over cubic is how I would go too.

Gorgeous box and tools!

Thanks ! It is a work in progress and I don't have everything how I want it yet. I do like to use all the space available. Down the road some of the trays in the screwdriver drawer might have to go. The newer snap on trays are bulky and take up a lot of space.

 

[AngryBeaver]

It's been a work in progress reorganizing my entire shop. Finally getting stuff somewhat back in order.

Here's a few.

Guys I love looking at these boxes, full of beautiful snap on, matco, Mac, etc tools. It's awesome, brings a smile to my face. Unfortunately these boxes cause me to scrutinize every pic of every drawer to find what I'm missing out on and finally I've come to the conclusion that I'm not missing tools...I'm missing a big box, I'm missing the ability to perfectly organize my tools so that my box makes sense.
Right now I'm working out of 3-26" craftsman boxes, a 4 drawer plastic cabinet and a 3x6 shelving unit that holds tools in the blow molded cases.
Its killing me that I can't justify the cost of an 86" chest.

ive never been able to justify (to myself) the cost of a double/triple bank box.

i've worked out of multiple single bank boxes for many years....
i have multiple single bank boxes in the garage as well.

ive mentioned this before, but i prefer multiple smaller boxes. much easier to move, if needed, i can reconfigure placement as my needs change, or i add tools.

[emoji481]

The only problem I have with the small single bank boxes is that many of the trays for like screw drivers, picks, etc don't fit reasonably well. I know a lot of guys say "just take them out of the trays". The problem with that is the organization factor. You might as well get a few big portable boxes and just throw everything into them.

I hear you. I sold my triple bank Mac when I stopped wrenching for a living and brought my tools home. I didn’t have a place to put it till my garage is built and a buddy offered me what I paid so no loss but I hate having my stuff in 3 boxes and cases scattered around wherever they would fit. What I miss most is the 22” deep drawers and work surface.

Tools and those that wield them are far more important than the box(es)

That's how I've always felt, and I've always forgone big fancy boxes so I could buy more tools but it's at the point now where I really need a big box. I have a HF top, bottom, side drawers, locker completely stuffed with a 40" 8 drawer chest and a tool cart full as well. I really wish I just had a nice triple bank though. It's funny because 95% of my tools are snap on or equivalent and they all reside in a HF box

I'd be happy with a 52" HF box at this point.

The old 2 drawer box I got for $25. No idea the make. Just use it to store some stuff so I don't have to go back and forth between garages. Debating on what to do with the tray, I like having it but it takes up a bunch of space.

 

[banjopete]

I scored an old box off a local old-timer, and am pretty thrilled as it's my first rolling box of any sort in my garage and will save me lugging out all my smaller heavy toolboxes to find one tool.

I like the vintage stuff, and this one is very heavy duty compared to all the store bought stuff I was looking at leading up to finding this one.

Now I just need to figure out some sort of drawer liner organizer solution. Thankfully there are a 1000 pages in this thread for ideas.
