Re: Lets see your Toolbox!

Eventually I will need a toolbox but for now a peg board, bucket and boxed socket set work for me.
I have a matching bucket inside so I don't have to walk all the way out to the garage for tools.
I had a nice set in my truck toolbox but someone else thought they needed it more than I and stole it!

This is my junk. Nuttin' fancy, but it works for me.
If I have to go more than about 150 miles, or so, and I'm not sure of the services ahead of me; I roll with my "auxiliary gas tank".

The toy room

My main two for the tools the one big red Harbor Freight Chest/Box, and the smaller black one which is a cheapie HF version.

A small, very old Craftsman to keep oddities, then a I dunno what brand, holding my air tools.

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!

I started with a cheap ($200) Husky box that came with a nice socket set that my parents bought me for me hs graduation, then one day the Cornwell guy offered me $400 trade for it so I said deal! Ended up with what is basically a cart sized full box, I'll get a good pic of it sometime. It's small but since I stopped turning wrenches for a living I quit buying tools. It still lives at the dealership for when I wanna go over and tinker.

We've a couple Craftsman boxes with the basics at home and a big locker to keep all the misc stuff in.

I really wish I had a pic of the Snap-On box the local college auto program has, they got it while I was there, it's a black 144" series, that's right, 12 feet! It's HUGE and awesome. It listed for something like $25k but the college got in dang near half price, still a lot of money, but it is a lot of toolbox.
Found a vid-

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!

A few years ago built this shop inside the shop so to speak. Finally got the tools organized during an after Christmas sales at Sears.

By the way, the fact the bottom benches fit perfectly under the bench...pure accident of design.




3 years later the shop and shed is still a work in progress one dollar at a time. Probably always will be.

About as redneck as you can get. 2nd box usually stays on the truck, but I have a couple cord of firewood to haul tomorrow. I'm cleaning it out shortly.
