I hesitate showing this video for a few reasons, one it is way too long, something that can be done in a few minutes takes this young man forever, 25 minutes in fact; (so you have been warned).:eek:

I am not thrilled with the F words every few seconds and the screen shots of the actors, but everyone is different I guess in their tool box tours. The box has a lot of wasted space, but in all fairness he does say he will fill it up in time.

The other reason I hesitate is because years ago we had a young man join the GJ and he also had the most amazing snap on tool box, but the other GJ members reamed him a new rear end in their comments and we lost him in short notice; (not able to locate that member at this time).

Lastly he has the money so more power to him, but I feel that with so many other great brands out there he is missing out on filling his tool box set up.

So without further ado the video of his snap on tool box; I hope you enjoy his set up.:beer:

you don't get a lot for 100grand from snapon then ...
Didn't dislike the socket layout but I not a fan of 1 big drawer and other drawer with ratchet extensions etc, 2 drawers, 1 with 1/2 and another with 3/8 and 1/4 seem more efficient in usage . pliers upright in foam looked workable idea, wrench layout not best, hard beat croc teeth wrench racks or home made hard foam or wood slot ones .
Not a very good representative for snapon brand image but do get a few snapon junkies with same base personality lol .

I let many strings of unprintables when I was in a game playing goaltender my aunt was in the stands. She never came to another game to watch.

I have not bothered to post all the details or pictures of what in my shop as it seems to be a game to make owners of quality tools a target of abuse.

I hear you big time, like I said in the first post years ago we had one member with the most amazing set up and he left very fast after all the abuse.

I gave him some **** about needing more tools when he first made the video. He took it with pretty good humor, but I actually wasn't really joking. And I don't get the cursing on youtube, it really just makes him sound like a 12 year old that just discovered the F word.

too hard to watch, especially someone make a meme video. We all love a good tool box, just try to do a cleaner job if you're going to show off like that.

I try to dispense info which is really the purpose of an on line forum.
Being told that I could buy 40 HF tool boxes with what I have spent for SO ones is pointless.

One thing that is important is presentation the other thing is being able to say no.
I learned many years ago that the quality of your work will be hung like a albatross around your neck even if you try to be a good guy and help somebody out.

The other point is if I round off a bolt by using a cheap tool and the guy who has spent thousand to be at a race event can not participate because I went cheap it kills my rep.

It is a great feeling to be tracked down by a other race team to come fix something because they know you have the right setup to get it done.

But many on the forum that just does not matter it is get the job done move on to next one.

I have a Chevrolet dealership owner that when he needs a special tool he calls me and the vintage cars he races you do not want to screw anything up while trying to repair it.

I was reading matts toolbox tour last night and it was funny how people were saying he's in debt up to his eye balls. And it's impossible to make over $40k being a tech lol

Show us some pictures sometime PI, especially the taco cart and the puller box

It will be a while as doctor wants me not to move stuff due to new knee.

But a joke is the Snap on Puller set that sits on the board I have in two small drawers with the exception of one part. I kid my dealer that I spent a few k and it sits in a small drawer. Give me some value.

I seen way better tool collections and layouts on here and in real daily working shop techs, can see not daily use from layout and missing common tools and junk bits. Lot of the foam layouts badly done considering value involved and what trying achieve. If makes guy happy fair enough I guess as his money/debt but overall not that interesting to watch, bit like j young and that bruce allen, total waste of time best spent in shop using my tools .

Agreed. Cant stand those guys either. But I do like Joel from TheSnapOnToolReview channel. He's factual, funny, and doesn't use clickbait.

I enjoy the tool box tours when they film each drawer and you never hear them talking.

You might have seen this video, seems like endless drawers of Snap-on tools. He owns a tractor engine rebuilding shop.

I have watched the Snap-on Junkie but get turned off in a few minutes by all the swearing. Juvenile and unnecessary

That was hard to watch lol. So much wasted space. My tools aren't exactly crammed, but wow there's so much open space. Not just because he doesn't have enough tools to fill it, but like the power drawer is just so much open area. Make that a couple of deep drawers or something instead and it'll hold 4x as much.

And in the socket drawer, he's like put the least used at the back. Nah, put the biggest at the back.
