Finally got a bigger box this weekend, did a little customization, and put about 15 hrs into moving everything from 3 boxes into the new box and cart. I can afford tool truck stuff, but I have 30 yrs worth of craftsman (old USA CRAFTSMAN) and plenty of cheap but adequate HF and others.
I had to order the side lockers, the should be in by Friday!
The new HF boxes are amazing for the price, I had a few of the older smaller ones and they were ok, the old cart was great, but the LOVE the series 2 stuff.
Anyone else a tool junkie or lifetime DIY mechanic?
I don’t think our definition of a “mess” would be the same… I would have better luck finding the right tool if I let a train run it over and scattered everything out.
You definitely win on the organization!!! I try soooo hard but I just never have the time to keep up!! I spent the last 2 days trying to figure out why my truck won’t start, come to find out it was the plug on the fuel pump control module, 5 min fix, 2 days wasted!!! See what I mean?!?!?
Finished my last small engine of the season thanks to storms today. All new belts and a tune up on a stupid yard machines rider that was on its last leg. Anyway… your socket drawer is prettier than mine.
@squidskc yours looks great! What’s your take on the Yukon stuff? I’ve contemplated bolting tow together for another large workspace, I just wasn’t sure they were heavy enough, but seeing your vice mounted to that one might change my mind
They work great. I have two of them. They don’t make this kind with the drawers anymore. Just the cabinet style.
I wouldn’t use them if I was a mechanic, but fixing a couple things here and there they’re perfectly fine. I read somewhere they’re the husky benches rebranded.
Looked at them again just a few min ago, one drawer above the cabinets, I may go for it, is your vice bolted just to the wood, or thru the metal top too?
