Only pic I have on my computer. I have a ton on film for insurance. Matco with hutch and side locker with drawers. I also made a pry bar, large screwdriver attachment that hangs on the side. I'll look for better pics later.

if i had the kind of money it required to buy toolboxes like that, I woulda paid someone to finish my truck for me ;)

I'll probably be spending a few hundred on a Craftsman one as well. It's all I'll need for what I have. Now if I could get my garage cleaned out....

shifty 08-23-2009 11:00 PM

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!
 
that's what i've got. a ball bearing craftsman unit simiar to what RatRod has above on the right a few posts up.

Worth every dollar, and pretty much all the space i need. I built in shelving throughout the garage to put the big stuff, power tools, etc.

funny part is, even with that toolbox, the stuff I use 99% of the time is in a custom-molded Crescent brand toolkit (Costco, $35) that's like this, but with 5x as much stuff (mostly sockets and wrenches) http://i.ehow.com/images/GlobalPhoto...olkit_Full.jpg

Man, that drawer set up is sweet! You'll know right away if your missing a socket, instead of months after you actually lost it when you really need it!

Here's mine, I could use another one about the same size. I still have tools piled on my work bench that I couldn't fit in there.

I buy the Craftsman boxes at the Sears outlet.
Usually scratch and dent
Usually 40-50% off
I watch for yard sale stuff too.

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.

I got two small boxes I carry in my truck at all times also.

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.
