I agree it's easier to find tools when they are all arranged properly. Rob is looking to buy a new Snap-On tool box soon. He's had his Matco (which he has waxed but it's not engraved) for years and is ready for a bigger, better tool box.

Impressive. I have to mention this thread to him. Could get me in trouble. I have questioned him when he goes out to buy a tool that he might use only once. He repeats, again and again, you can never have too many tools

Not being a mechanic by trade these are my favorite tools for working on the boat. All my other tools like to jump out of my hands into the bildge so I use these alot They work for nuts and bolts too

Rastinger....Snap On all the way!! I had my MAC box for 23 years and it served a purpose. I bought my KRL1022 with all the bling (stainless top and drawer tops) Luisted out around 7K.....But my Snap-On dealers district manager is a friend of mine from high school so I got a smokin' deal with the trade in on my old box (WAY under 1/2 of list price) But I do love my box and it's like my boat.......1 of a kind!!

He's fortunate too RA that his best friend and business partner (for another company) is a Snap-On dealer himself, so we always get it at cost or whatever smokin deal we can get on it all. I agree, I personally like Snap-On better than anything out there.

I'd post pics of Rob's tool drawers, but he's wrenching and fixing stuff on the boat and they're not so pretty right now
