I received a very extensive craftsman tool set for christmas (as seen in the MANY PICS below). So, I thought to myself......hmmmmmm.......where will I put all of these tools? I looked at my POS small toolbox and shook my head. I looked at my storage closet and shook my head. It was then I knew that it was time. So the search began for the right toolbox for BooKilla! :hillbilly:

And then I saw it. The Snap-On toolbox that would be mother to my tools...(Stock#: KRA5213D) 13 drawer double bank in black. :D

Without further adu......may I introduce....Tiffany ;)

The drawer setup is from top to bottom:
metric wrenches, standard wrenches, metric sockets, standard sockets, hammers/hex/breaker bars, all electrical equipment/misc, all air tools....

I like the setup so far.....this thing has tons of room.
 
Nice, Tiffany sexy, Tiffany well organised, I like!!!

p.s.
( I do believe that the nut-drivers should be in the screwdrivers drawer) :cheers:
 
Very nice!!

You a tech? Where if so.

Also Harbor has the best non skid inserts for the drawers I have found.

Nope...not a tech. I am in diesel technology at PCC however and you have to have a clean box.

I have seen those inserts at HF...they are a great deal. :hhmm: I like the craftsman mat that comes on the long rolls as well.
 
Nice I can recall when my box was that size. Just wait until the only box that will hold all your tools costs you 11,000.00 + just for the bottom. :D Looks good and very well organised. :clap:
 
NIce.....I am waiting on mine to be delivered. HOPEFULLY TOMORROW.
 
Nice, but it is worth picking up a set of fine tooth rachets also. Another great purchase is a set of these.

First are the newest style Matco makes, second are similar to the ones I picked up (except the Lowes version much cheaper) and the third are as you see but with a switch feature, unlike the others. The others you just flip them.

You will find yourself using these more than sockets and they are soooo much easier to keep track.

Those do look nice. I have a set of metric gearwrench wrenches and they are nice, but they have caps on the top of the swiveling part. This is to prevent the bolt from going through, but makes it so that you can't flip the wrench and make the 15 degree offset become inverted. So I bought the proffesional series craftsman wrenches (for $100 a set :doh:) and they don't have a cap. Also the teeth have closer ratios. There are some snap-on wrenches that I am thinking about.....the tool list will go on and on forever.
 
proto toolbox

wow That looks great
I wish I could have gotten mine blasted and powder coated but Theres no way I could get close to that price here in the northeast.
I had a box of parts (a case of beer sized cardboard box) blasted and coated for $200 :frown:
