Reading Instructions fail.

My name is Julio. I live in Orange County CA.
Just like with instructions, I skipped this thread and posted my 1st post in the, "Tools of The World" thread.

Seriously, I don't remember how I found this site on Saturday but I remember going through this forum for hours.
I'm a CNC machinist and after 12.8 years I finally bought a Kennedy Tool Box set. Mismatched because the 520 was damaged and got a killer price on it. The chest, (277X) and the riser, (5150) are new. I'm waiting for the side cabinet that hangs on the side of the rollaway.

I used to have a hand me down Kennedy box sitting on a waterloo, "RED" rollaway. I've been teased for years.
As for tools, I have the usual machinist measuring tools. I do mostly mill so no expensive bore gauges and my mic's only go up to 4-5. Most of them were Craigslist deals. I also bought a hundred-something-tools Craftsman mechanics set about 10 years ago and that's most of my hand tools stuff with the occasional deals from the swapmeets. My only Snap-On Tool is a torque wrench. I don't remember the model number but it's the one with the dial that looks like a watch dial and has little cool cover.
This forum is awesome. I'm looking forward to learn about tools and order a ton of Hazet from that guy Alex.

Here's my other 1st post hahah:

I'm new to the forums. I don't remember how I got here. I love this thread and all the tools in them. And I don't say the, "L" word unless I mean it.

Here are my two boxes. Trust me, I won't put stickers on the Kennedy's.

Welcome to the group. I can understand you getting some grief with that red tool box in the machine shop. I find it interesting how the different trades have their own brands they find acceptable, and what they put at the top of the heap.

Welcome. It must be an old TQ series Split-beam click wrench. Great product and so darn easy to use
