Agreed. Both of our enclosed race trailers had C-Tech cabinetry in them. Good quality components. Held up very well over the years.

yes its a Ctech box. about time they decided to do something for us (field mechanics). every other truck ive had with this company have been stripped out, bare bones cab/chassis. this is the 3rd new truck they bought in the past couple years. )F550 & F750, both extended cab) this one is an F600 4x4 std cab.
my last truck was a3500HD chevy 4x4 with 204K miles on it. i drove it until the wheels literally fell off it. lost the left side duals at 60 MPH on the interstate one morning at 5:30 am

Or this: 
Hey man, sorry I know this isn't the newest post to bump. But I've had this same box for about 2 years. I had to add a couple boxes to my garage, so grabbed some cheaper used ones. In the process finally decided to refurbish this too. When I finally got all the drawers out I found the top sections lock mechanism removed. I just never tried to lock it, but it came with keys, plus extra keys. It's an odd workings. It has the 3 spring clamping bars, but the rod from the cylinder to the back is gone and what ever operates the other 2 when the middle is pushed is gone. And the lower 2/3 is a complete different system. Any chance you can send me some pics of that mechanism please. I say refurbish not restore because I'm not painting it red. I'm tired of red boxes, and black shows scratches way to easy. I'm going white and yellow for the drawers and smoke gray cabinet all gloss. Other than color though I want it back to original working order, ill never sells this one. I love it. I did find the original paperwork on it. I too have been calling this a machinist tool box, however Yorktown called it their "new sentry portable tool room". Men were men back then because the cabinet weights 108lbs and drawers are 68lbs. Plus I have the top box for 70 more lbs. EMPTY lol. Portable my ****. But of you could send some pics to my email [email protected] I'd be very grateful. I'll add a couple pics and paper work here.

These have been in use for a long time but were scattered and eating up workbench space. I wanted to put the shop tools in one place and free up some space. So I added a couple pieces of mdf painted and prettied. Installed the 2 Craftsman and then added the Gerstner. Space on workbench cleaned up!

Here's my home transmission shop toolbox setup. Started out with an 68" epiq and it kind of got out of hand from there.
I also have snap-on's modular storage in my build area for parts inventory.

Yeah, sorry the whole thing is a white box.
I was referring to the compressor. Is it just air or does it do any electric/hydraulic as well?

Thanks for making me drool over yet another all-Snappy setup. I'm quite happy with my Tekton setup at work but the different drawer layouts, etc that are available with the Epiqs are very nice. Can't go wrong with any of the modular storage... it looks so good in Snap-On red.Guess I haven't posted in this thread yet ..

Been some time since I posted my home setup.
Recently added a cart and set it up similar to the one at work on the previous page.

Nicely set up.
Here's my set up as a DIYer. Outgrew the Craftsman stack that I've had forever and expanded to the HF 44. The Snap On KR 300 was an intermediate box that I got for a great deal. I'm in the process of redistributing tools and will sell it. Picked up the incredibly heavy US built file cabinet for free to store the bulky stuff.

So way back in 05 I posted my home boxes and said I would get a picture of my work box. That was not correct. I have been through 3 other boxes and then I retired from running auto shops and went to work in Facilities for the goverment since then. This is what I now have parked in my garage.

I'm just an older home owner who likes to work with cars and home projects. My parents bought me a Craftsman tool chest set for some reason I don't remember around 1976. I still am using that along with a 2 drawer chest and standalone short chest. The new ones didn't match the color, so what do you do? Sand them down and paint them to match. The new ones don't hold a light to the old chest set, but wanted to stay with Craftsman (for some reason). Of course, I had paint left over so I cleaned up my old file index and made it a faux Craftsman product... As for a perfect match with the old colors I used:
Rust-Oleum 7214830 Gray Hammered
Rust-Oleum 7765830 Gloss Regal Red
All the corded tools are in cases. I bought a bunch from Flambeau @$9.34 ea. I use the Merchant 15" case. they hold a lot for smaller cases because they aren't reinforced and you get more room inside. All the stickers are on sticky magnetic sheets that are then cut out to shape, OCD but then they can be moved around to other cabinets when I get more!
Thought you would like to see what a homeowner has.

Is the new box a replacement or in addition to your current set-up?

I voted like for all three versions, but the plain black stealth version was my favorite, the hi viz might stop someone crashing into it though
Friend is at a municipal yard, they supply everyone with a yellow SO or Mac cart and then apply reflective tape all over it.I voted like for all three versions, but the plain black stealth version was my favorite, the hi viz might stop someone crashing into it though

I have to ask, do you prefer the Carlyle, Icon, Snap-on, or Craftsman Professional screwdrivers?
cweidert03

I use the snap on the most followed by Carlyle.. icon were an impulse buy and yet to be used. I will use the occasional craftsman pro for small screws. I prefer the hard handle if snap on.
