Re: Lets see your Toolbox!
Here's my box at work when I first got it. Snap On man called my bluff. I said I would only buy a new box if it was a 67 chevy c-10 edition. Well he made arrangements and paid to have it airbrushed threw in the stainless top and a cover. I added the fender emblem. How on earth do you guys keep your drawers so organized in your work boxes? Mine are a mess half the time, we arent allowed to put away and organize on the clock and dont have 2 minutes between jobs as they are movin in as finished ones move out. I just keep commonly used tools on my cart and shove crap around in my box when I get a chance. Nice boxes though guys, dont see many like that round here, no one can afford them.

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!
stano I live by the rule "I didnt drag all this crap out on my time I'm not putting it away on my time"
alot of bean counting employers dont understand if I have time to put stuff away and organized I'll save time not hunting for something

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!
thats so true I have a roll around cart but there's just a point you have to stop and put up all the tools in the cart to be able to find anything. Also when I open a drawer I know exactly what is missing. beleve me I been tested on that one.

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!
At work most of the time I have tools everywhere. It isn't a good practice because tools get lost this way. So I try to pick them off and clean them up after each big job. Or at the end of the week or month. Whatever comes first.

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!
Not Much but what I have. The big one I have had 10+ years. I keep 90% of my tools in it. The small one was the first roll around box I ever bought. It was 87 and my freshman year in college. The BMW I had would break down every week and I hatted working out of an over crowed carry around. I keep body, electrical, weird and specialty tools in it now.

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!
I was hoping to find something in yellow, but the price said "Purple works!"
 Gotta hate it when it takes up 1/3 of the garage

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!
the black cart I just got, still in the box for now.
the red box I've had for quite a while. I have about $700 in it and it will handle any thing any compairable size Snap-on box will. the Pink one I just got my girlfreind for christmas, make sure Google is on "Safe search" if you try to look for one ! the black Snap-On is my company issue'd box I use at work. it's a nice box, just WAY over price'd !

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!
Can always repaint it. Some Cat, or John Deere industrial yellow would be nice. Easy to find too...

Re: Lets see your Toolbox!
Well, I'm a Mac guy but I really like the Masters series from Snap on. Here's my newly acquired mac box. I downsized from my 88" Macsimizer to this 67" and boy is it nice to actually be able to walk around this one. I left the automotive field for a better job in robotics a year ago and have finally brought myself to sell the macsimizer along with many of my specialty (when am I ever gonna use this) tools. That and my girlfriend couldnt pull her car in the garage. Not sure how its gonna fit once i havemy bed on, but we'll see. I prefer cabs to cab + chest combo's for the extra workspace but it does get tough to keep yourself from junking up the worktop as you can tell. Hard to get a good shot with the 68 on jackstands but you get the point. And it matches the truck! hopefully i dont fill this one up too soon. i may just get one of the roller cart-drawer combos since it looks like I may not fit all my stuff in there.
