Post Your Kids Tool BOX

[BrooKLyn]

I seen a mini snap on box that caught my eye and I was searching for hours on info.. My 9 year old step son has a HF cart with cabinet on side and a 26 0r 30 gallon compressor in his room for now. My 6 year old has a 4 draw craftsman box in his room and uses it for his pjs socks etc. He does have some tools .

Obviously Daddy needed somewhere to store it. Good thinking, I would have loved to have a compressor in my bedroom when I was a kid. I would have gotten my *** whipped for firing it up in the middle of the night, too.

the compressor will make a hell of an alarm clock for him

I think Im going to try the alarm phrank LOL

I was running out of room in my garage so I told him to put his tools in his room..

Well, my 2 oldest sons (10 and 8) HAD a rollaway toolbox with 2 sets of Craftsman tools in them in my shop. I started running out of room so they went from the shop to the shed at the house. I kept finding them laying around the yard so I sold them. They aren't responsible enough yet to keep track of each other's tools. When they are in the shop they use my tools and put them away properly. It is working much better than allowing them to throw their tools in their box any way they wanted. I just gave my 10yo a small engine repair course a buddy of mine took a few years ago. He aalso got the tools that went with the course, a Micrometer, a multimeter, compression tester, etc... He has to put them in his room on a high shelf so none of the other kids can get to them. I'm sure he'll want his own tools someday, but for now I just tell him he'll have all of mine someday.

Boy is 9 years old, got him this for , there is a magnetic sticker inside that I had made that reads "If you need help just ask". He can pull it out when I get too involved in my own projects to pay attention to his projects.

OP, that's a MIGHTY expensive sock drawer. I hope your house is a 1 story. I'd hate to have to lug that cart down/up stairs!

Love the fact that you guys are getting your boys (& girls?) involved early. My dad was white collar. By the time I was 16, I had more tools than he did. My whole collection was from scratch.

Here’s my 11 year old son’s tool box. He’s built any impressive fishing tackle box by shopping in my stuff now it’s time for the tools. The 26” box on the left is the box my Dad bought me when I was young and now I get to pass it on to him. The more tools I buy the happier he gets as he knows the older stuff is coming his way.

man, i always wanted to keep my tools in my room when i was a kid, but i didnt have the space or the effort to walk to my room from the garage just to get one tool......... god??? 9 years old and a air compressor, i dont even have one?

 

[BiltFordTuff]

i dont have any pics of the real thing but when i was 9 or 10, to whenever i actually started getting tools, i had this, some of the tools i still have but here it is,

... heh funny i remember wearing the little hat and spraypainting my bicycle so i wouldnt get paint in my hair haha

EDIT: other than the random screwdrivers and such that i would find in cars at the junkyard, this is probably the only other tools i owned at that time,

This its a old post but had to revive it here is some pics of my 2 year olds toolbox that I am building him he has another box that he can actually use that has craftsman tools in it

Great thread, I completely missed it. Just bought the my son and daughter each a Husky 12" zip up tool bag. They're only 3 and 5 yo, so a small, soft bag is just right. I got them a multi-bit screwdriver to 'seed' the bag, and as they help out with more projects they can earn more tools.

We put together my son's bunk bed last week and they both helped. Each got to work the screw gun (while Dad held it LOL), keep account of the hardware, and hand over parts. With the proper attitude and guidance, its really surprising what younger children can do.

Oh, and BTW, the air compressor in OP's post is for the blow up doll under the bed...shhhhh, its a secret
