Perusing this thread really brought me back with all the 60s Craftsman tool boxes. A gas station that I worked in all through my teenage years had two of the 60s era Craftsman rollaway's pictured in this thread.
Also had never seen the stainless stuff before, cool. So I'll play...
I've gone through four tool box combination's in the last 30 yrs. All Snap-on, and maxed everyone of them out. Funny how you don't realize how many theme boxes were put out until you see 'em (20 yrs ago I had a Rick Mears set)
I bought this one three years ago. Sad part about it is that it's full too so I'm going to have to spring for the top section. Hopefully that should last me the rest of my life as having 20K in just tool boxes alone is a bit much..
I think Budweiser a pretty good tool

got this rubbermaid bottom box when i was 13.
added the top box when i was 18 working as a tech.
kept this setup till about 3 yrs ago.
then got the harbor freight jobby, wore it out in 2 years.
then got this, at this point in my life at 27, all my tools are paid for , i only owe 2,000 on this box.
and last i checked i have invested well over $30,000 in tools. once you go snap on you never go back i guess. still so much stuff i want, all in do time. 
and here is what i got for my son when he was allmost 4. he is 8 now, allmost time to upgrade.

Add a side locker to that and you will have a box that will last.......
for another year or two....... Just kidding, It's a great box that will last a long time (at least I hope so....) and you have it at 27. I was almost double your age before I got mine and wish that I had it years ago.

Vdub thats a nice box!
Hello everybody... Been lurking a while I figured I would sign up and show off my boxes...
I don't get in this one too much... Keep the lesser used tools in here.
Half of the top drawer, the other half did not load...
Here is my roll around cart... The pic of the top would not load. It has most of my metric sockets in the top.
Here is my road call box I used to carry everywhere I went but no it just sits under the table. It is a modified snap on box.

Welcome to the site. Nice setup. I like your selection of impact sockets!
Thanks
Here is the other half of the top drawer.
And the top of the roll cart.
And my latest investment.
Please excuse the mess, it probably isn't hard to tell that I use this stuff everyday. I just don't take the time to clean everything like I used to.

We seem to have a lot of tripple bank Snappy's on here. Nice looking box even if it is red.......
By the way, that is a nice looking Verus.... I'm trying to trade up from a Solus Pro to a Modis this year. How do you like the Verus so far?

I like this box. Where would can a person buy one.
Honestly I have not had many chances to use it... So far I like it a lot. I have had it save my *** on diag several times already though. It is very useful all around.
There are a few things that are minor annoyances and cause it to take extra time to setup, but I'm used to having a tech II at my disposal and that isn't the case anymore. So I'm kind of spoiled I guess.
Once I get to learn it a bit more I'm sure I'll be pretty dangerous with it. LOL
I happen to LOVE my Candy Apple Red KRL
I need to do something with all those damn pipe wrenches... I hope to never need those again.

I take it you have quit working on GM cars to not need them now????
I have the same set up but canadian.
For all three pieces I paid close to $450 I think.
I used the 36's to set bearing preload in my dealership days.
Just kidding. Those are from all the slurry processors I had to rebuild for three years while I worked in the oil field as a mechanic.

I was starting to wonder....Most GM techs have the big pipe wrenches but I didn't notice the other required tools, you know,.... the baby sledge hammers, baling wire and duct tape... Oh, almost forgot, the 5 gallon bucket of silicone sealant for the V6 intake gaskets....
You might guess that I have been working on my niece's Grand Am again.... I am starting to hate GM V6's

Nope,
I usually use coat hanger wire, hinge pins, double bubble, coke cans and pop rivets to fix the Honda's. I have retro-fitted my Toyota with a new emergency brake system though. It is a little chilly in the car with the two holes in the floorboard but I can get my feet on the pavement and do a Fred Flintstone in a hurry now....

Bought this box the other day, these smaller boxes seem to be gettin harder to find.. KRA58J. Date of manufacture on it was feb.23/89, 21 years old!
i wish i still had mine, i bought one used back around 85 or so,and had it in my service truck. after that it served duty as my race track box, and then as a home box.
i traded it in along with 2 SO 3 drawer middle boxes when i bought my SO/HD boxes. i still kick myself for getting rid of it

Here are mine, first one is my home box. I got the top box on clearance from sears for about $95 out the door. The bottom box came with the box I got at work from northern tool years ago.
Whole work area with work bench and tool box
Sockets
Ratchets and acessories
Screw drivers
Wrenches
Pliers
Hex keys and drilling
Misc
Tools float around as well, between work, car, home, house, etc.
Now for the work setup, I work as a tech. at a paintball store, and have to deal with many peoples messes to clean up around my work area.
Top of box with T-handle sets and picks
Screw driver and pick draw( the white you cant see is a c-man pick set)
Misc tools and sockets

gc,question for you since you work on paintball guns. I have spyder and the bottom feed hose is leaking co2 by the pistol grip,is there supposed to be an o-ring there or should I just use teflon. I love the gun but haven't used it in a while because of that, and I just got a new tipmann awhile back. Any info would be helpful
Thanks,
John

On 90% of the guns, there should be an o-ring where the bottom line(air line) screws into the gun. Best bet is to get an empty spray bottle, and mix water and dish soap. Spray the area where you here the leak, then look for bubbles. This is where your leak is coming from. If the foregrip is 2 pieces and the hose goes up into it, you may need to unscrew the bottom part. If there is a slot for an o-ring then add one there, if not then try locktite(blue) before using teflon as it had a tendency to get inside of the gun and cut the o-rings. If you have any more questions feel free to post up here, or send me a message.
