Thanks man. It is really crazy..it has ball bearing drawers and has one big drawer that the tank goes in. It is built to the same quality that the tool boxes are. I need to buy some more cooking utinsils so my drawers are not so empty in the grill. I have one utinsil in every drawer to make it look like I have something. It also has a rotissery.

Here is a shot of my roll cab with the top locker that I have all of my manuals in. I went with a smaller locker so that I would still have some workspace. It has worked out really well. The 30" deep box is the bomb.

Grill ending in minutes

In the last 30 years of twisting hand tools I have never used a roller bearing drawer to loosin a single thing lol.

the craftsmen box holds them snap on tools just fine

I would rather put the extra cash in the part that saves my knuckles.....2c

after turning wrences for the past 13 years for a living my thoughts on tool choices has changed over the years at first it was all name brand and got to meet ( MANY ) new tool men. now i find myself always thinking how hard is it going to be to get the tool warrantied. tool trucks stop coming buy if you dont continuously buy from them. i have latly been buying the gearwrench ( kd ) brand and otc as gearwrench has expanded into other areas than just the original gearwrench ( wow how did i live without those awsome gearwrenches ) there quality and price are awsome and can be replaced at any napa, car quest, or bumper to bumper in days rather than weeks waiting on the next tool man to show up and order it in! just my 2 cents tho

Yep I have a full set of gear wrench open end box end and I agree how did we get by without them............shortys long and metric

just bought there 44 piece extra long standard and metric combo wrench set they are a standard open and boxed end wrench and are absolutly great on sale thru local tool guy for 375 thats 1/4 to 1 1/2 and 8 to 34 mm price that from the big 4 snappy, mac, matco, or cornwell and see where you end up im guessing north of 2,000:eek:

For some people fine, but I would need 4 of crapsmans biggest boxes to hold my tools. Another plus with the box I have now top left big drawer is all sockets right under that all air & batt. tools then on the right bank I have 3 big drawers that are all pliers, then screwdrivers then wrenches. So for most of what I need no more bending over all the time. My last box I had to use more than one drawer for the same type tool and all those aside from the screwdrivers are so packed and heavy I wouldn't want a non roller drawer. I had the crapsman pro box at home and got it mid 90's, I got my krl 1000 work box in 91, it's now my home box because the crapsman was falling apart, now I can blame my kids for a lot of that but still they don't hold up near as well.

If any of the members here ever need Matco warranty PM me I will give you my address.If you ship it to me I will take care of it and ship it back.

Dayum niiiiice John , and that BBQ is off the hook :coolcowboy: may need another if BIG Eddie gets an invite :eek::lolhit::drink: jk

Don't hate me cause I'm pretty.:evilb:

I have no kids so that helps a lot for longevity and on that note I still have and charish my dads 3/8th fine tooth rachet (craftsmen) it still works great but I only use it on rare occasion.

I would love to bye a big a$$ box to put my tool in but I'll stick with the tight little one I married twenty years ago lol :coolcowboy:

wow john!!! if i new you had that i would of been eating at your house instead of the mcdonalds eddie was feedin me, and EDDIE dont think you are the pretty one around here neither...

Did you get the pictures I sent you? I got a bad azz picture of your boat framed from the shootout. I hung it right behind my OL in the shop.

That's a nice very nice offer. When I was a Snap On dealer there was ZERO profit handling broken tools.

Kurt

Yes I do! I do not work for them but I have known the product and the company for years. Good people good product. Does the fact that the company is local mean I can't have an opinion?

yep i got it,that is a awesone picture,thanks john.do we still need to set eddies wall of fame up in his shop? you must have more pull with the picture guy,i have been tryin to get ahold of him for a couple weeks now.

Have to agree on the Facom stuff. I have a bunch of their tools, and from time to time will go out of my way to buy some more. Who'd of thought the french were good for much beyond wine, huh? :D

They're not French anymore. They were bought by S-K, who was later bought by Stanley (Stanley owns\makes MAC). SK is now independent due to a management buy out after the Stanley takeover. Come to think of it, I have a nice S-K 3/8" rachet that's great.

I have some Craftsmen in my box, but would never touch their rachets. Every one I've ever used kind of sucked.

Yea I have 2 boys that like to tinker, I have been with my wife for 21 years but I started working on cars at 16 for a living. Go to school half day then work and on weekends so when I lived at home with no bills I was a tool junkie, I owed over 50k when I was 18, then by 30 no tool dept just picked up new cool stuff when it came out. Then in 07 I got my new box and traded the home box in and brought the work one home. The boxes MSRP was 14k ish but got it for 10k even, did it on Snap-on credit to get the "free" tools then put it on a 0 intrest card for 36 months and just paid it off. I wont ever need to buy another box the rest of my life unless I add a part to mine but I like having a 12+ foot work bench with all my tools in it. Since I work on bikes you don't trash the box by working on it like you would with cars.

I would love to bye a big a$$ box to put my tool in but I'll stick with the tight little one I married twenty years ago ..



nuthin but the tight lil ones BIG Daddy :eek::hitit::ernaehrung004::ernaehrung004:

For Craftsman, the smooth/polished rachets are their best: http://cgi.ebay.com/Craftsman-New-1-...item3caac17460

I have a set and will search the box to find them over the regular rachets.

Theres mine, and now looking for a stand up floor cabinet that snap on does not make danmit

Man, I wish I had a free box for every time I said that...

I gave up on trying to buy pics from the local guy up there. I bought nearly all of mine from Naples Image "Jayboat" including that one of your boat.

No not at all,Just noticed the town.Do they still have as many people working there or did the cut back?

Ch!t Mike ya need a few more tools in them drawers :lolhit: :drink:

I spent 17k on boxes this week(3) and that was my cost.You could almost buy a small car for that.

Small car hell I could buy a good used one ton truck for that lol

Ouch!...... I remember those days:drink:

Haha going t0 pick up a locker today Daddy O! And just ordered 10K more worth of tools. Holy **** thats 1/2 my engine cost where does this money go!
-Mike

where does this money go!:eek:
Can't take it with ya when ya go so may as well spend,spend,spend, sounding like my Wife :lolhit:

This is true. Except is your wire buying tools and boat crap? If I found a woman like that id marry her! where is RG
-Mike

I am selling a bunch off tools for a friend of the shop that lost his shop over a colonoscopy gone bad. He went in for a crapper test and the tube in his arm came out of the vein and filled his arm with the knock out juice. This damaged the nerves in his arm so bad he can not work anymore. In the mean time he is going broke while in litigation.
I listed some today in my Ebay store seller 3baja2 and will try to list about 10 items a day. These are some great tools and most are in new never used condition. Mostly Snap On, Mac and Matco items.

Brian post the Ebay Links , and if possible Fax me the tool List may be able to work a deal and not have to list them all on Ebay

Keep me in mind. Bill dont take everything biotch
-Mike

Gotta say, my opinion of Snap-on was always that they were the best, however, I ordered a 3/8" drive HD Torz bit online late last summer, they sent the wrong tool (wrong drive/allen head etc). It took me 4 months and a dozen phone calls to get my money back. Now, I couldn't care how good their tools are. They're useless if they don't give you what you order. I think they are a bunch of azztards! Will never order from them again! Just my 2 cents.

OUCH ! well alright then ...:drink:

Good man
-Mike

No soup for you.................you keep messin with my girl.

I got your soup right here. Im letting it marinate for you.
-Mike

I would not let it marinate to long.... the little guy might fall off.
