My new toolbox/tools

[sam.coll]

Hey guys just thought I would share, back story is I moved over here to Melbourne, Australia from my home in New Zealand about 9 months ago for a bit of a change, gone from having my own home with 3 car garage full of tools/gear to a 2 bedroom apartment building with no garage. Thought I would assemble a tool kit that I am able to easily transport to my workplace to be able to work on my car etc so wanted a way to keep the tools from scattering and moving around on the journey hence the foam. Tedious job outlining the tools and cutting out the foam but I think it turned out alright, still need to finish it though cut out finger holes and tidy up some of the cuts, mount the toolbox on some castors.

Toolbox is a Kinchrome, not thrilled with it but it was redily available and cheap enough.

Drawer 1: Sockets and extensions are all Stahlwille 1/4, 3/8, 1/2 drive. Ratchets are Snap On and breaker bars are Koken.

Drawer 2: Combo wrenches and open ring wrenches are Stahlwille, dogbones are Kastar, Snap on ratchet screwdriver, Mitutoyo verniers, Stahlwille long pin punch set and Starrett shor punchs, Moore & Wright thread gauge and 6" square, Stahlwille feeler gauge, Ullman magnet and mirror, Eclipse auto centre punch.

Drawer3: Wilde pry bars and gasket scrapper, Thor dead blow soft face, Stahlwille screwdriver set, various Knipex pliers and a couple files.

Cheers for looking

Nice setup, any issues picking up that thor hammer???

As much as I hate to admit this it must be nice not to have to have two sets of everything.

That's a really nice setup[emoji106]
Some additional pictures on how the foam was cut maybe?

Hee hee!

Seriously, though, looks good.

Nice job. How thick is the foam? Was it pre-sized for the Kinchrome?

Thor hammer was sent over from the UK with some Stahlwille gear I bought. Foam is Polyetylene, blue is around 3mm thick and the black is 12mm, I was after 20mm for the black but that's all the foam company had locally, they cut it for me to my sizes and bonded the two colours together, tools were then traced on with a fine tip sharpie marker and cut with a small retractable craft knife. As I said before very time consuming and requires a fair bit of patience. Yep needing only metric sockets/wrenches made it a fair bit easier, have full sets of inch and metric tools back home in New Zealand.

Very nice, compact setup. No multimeter though?

Yep got a fluke 179 but it stays in a bag with my Autel scan tool

Digging the foam work, looks sharp.
