Why are you yelling?! :)

Shadowed tool boards are generally made specific to the application. It would be hard to believe everything would match up with the tools you have

I have seen them. They pop up for sale on ebay occasionally. I have a couple for different puller sets. They also had them for transmission and ac service tools, as well as general service hand tool sets.

I have a bunch of Wright Tools tool boards I am selling. I know it's not Snap On but if you're interested let me know.

I bought a few 25 years ago when I was at the Indy 500. I was walking through the snap on tool tent when I saw them.
I think that I have 9 of them and they came inside nice small cabinets with glass doors.
Here are some of them

A bit off topic but I bet your shop is a pleasure to work in with all of that lighting.

I have a couple of these Tool boards in the red cabinets without the glass doors. Pretty neat, they were originally at Bell Helicopter in their training department. They were attached to a Roll-a-bench butted up against one another. One if for SAE Combo wrenches the other is for SAE Socket/drive tools.

I currently use the Combo wrench one for my duplicates, but they are certainly not filled with Snap On wrenches as I can't justify the cost to fill it with purely Snap On.

That one is a bit different from mine (less wrenches) I wonder how many different types of each set they made??
Nice set up. And yes I really like working in that corner of my shop on smaller projects.

I left this one behind at one of my flea markets back in March 2020. It was fairly well appointed and in okay condition, but later than what I like to collect, and a tad high in price, too.

That's interesting.... A couple of weeks ago I bought most of those pieces off a board just like that in a basement workshop Estate sale in NJ!!! I still have to sort through my bag of tools from that sale. I'm just finishing up a garage re-org and I've got about 5 bags of Estate sale tools to go though and post pics. Flood gates should open soon.....

I have three personally that I bought in the Uncle Dave's - Rick's Tool Museum sales thread. I was thrilled to get them and finally got them mounted up.

I have no idea if any are still available, but there were a lot of them to be had in Snap on as well as many other brands.

Thread is here: https://www.garagejournal.com/forum/threads/ricks-tool-museum-sale.405731/page-2

Maybe some are still for sale?

I think they made a ton of different sets throughout the years, I need to snap a picture of my drive tools one.

Here's a pic of the A/C tools I picked up at the Estate sale off the Snap-on tool board I mentioned earlier.
