OK guys, back when I bought my "roll-around" I purchased a 41". Now wished I had something quite a bit bigger for some of my longer tools....yea, wish it was just all around bigger! ;)


Also---What tools do you just "not" put in your tool box? Foe example, most of my electric stuff, goes on a shelf. You guys do the same thing?

My longest prybar did not fit in my work box. So it gave me and excuse to bring a second larger box to work. Now I can fill that one too.

longer prybars, tanker bar, and sledgehammers dont fit in my boxes i fabricated a rack to hold hammers and prybars on my cart

when needed, all my air tools will fit in my work boxes.
i can find room for most of my tools in my service truck tho.

at home i keep electric drills in the cases in side boxes, i have a large wall mounted cab, above my bench, where i keep my seldom used air tools, and several 4 1/2" grinders. large grinder and sawsall are on a shelf.

when i was working inside a shop everything had a place in my toolbox, except a 16lb sledge, and tanker bar.

Torque wrench. I guess it has it's own case, but I'd prefer it to be put away properly...

These are some of the tools that live in shelves or my rolling table: 3/4" torque wrench, 1" impact, magnetic drill dress, both of my large tap and die sets (9/16 - 1 and the metric version), push/puller kit, bearing splitter kit, porta-powers.

my big pry bar is too long, but hangs nicely in the handle on its side. my wrench drawer is full so i have my stubby wrenchs in my cart, along with some other odds and ends

you body guys have a habit of doing that... I'm far from a body guy in any way shape or form, keep me AWAY from your paint, trust me. Couple guys I know who knock tin and do paintwork have a ton of hammers, and whatnot just like yourself.

I have a 72" Johnson Bar that doesn't fit in my box, everything else fits though I choose to keep my less used tools in a separate cabinet in our storage room.

I'm by no means a pro, but with my 41" box my pry bar and a few cordless tools won't fit. It's not a big issue to me because I've got cases for the cordless tools.

my dad's buddy who does tons of fabricating and builds the body for race cars has around 50 hammers and 10 paint guns.
