wow.... organized to 10th power. Dont ever let me take out a tool out of your box.. looks too pretty

Is that all custom? I see Wiha tools, but cany make out the name of the box.

:bowdown: Trailer Envy:cheers:

Nothing special. I'm not buying 100% Snap On, like some people I know. It's' a mutt collection, mainly of Craftsman, but all the drivers are Wiha. The box itself is a Kennedy.

so organized. one day.... how do you like whia drivers? i need new screwdrivers. craftsman has gone to crap. i have a decent number of them all bought before they became crappy. i just picked up some armstrong ratchets that are nice made usa and not crazy snap on prices.

But snap on is so nice. The gearing is so precise... I know. Can't justify price but I keep buying cheap tools again and again and again...

That's a completely inefficient use of a toolbox. You can get far more tools in there if you just cram them full. Of course, you get to hunt for the ratchet at the track for 5 minutes (usually when it's right there in front of your face).

Very nice work. What did you use to cut the foam so precisely?

Cheap quality,they'll last you 3 nuts and 3 bolts. But the box is pretty. I prefer tools that work hard and function properly for a long time. You get what you pay for...

very nice and clean

dang that is some clean work!

I do take issue with you mixing that air tool with the beauty of a clear, one category drawer :cheers:

Kennedy makes a great box. Love the set-up. Also curious what you used to cut the foam.

One day I'll get my setup organized, but right now it's all stuffed in 2 different boxes, so my tool density is very high, but finding that 15mm 6pt deep thin wall socket to pull a caliper is a PITA. :-) :banghead:

I buy cheap for seldom used tools, I buy good quality for often used. HF is great for 1-2x use items. That said, the HF Pro line I think is as good (or bad) as the new Craftsman stuff...

Try the Armstrong ratchets. I actually like the feel and precision over SnapOn ( they have 80 tooth gears). Sockets I have a ton of USA craftsman that are fine and still look great. Combo wrenches haven't found some I like yet, the craftsman ones I have are just OK, Armstrong seem to get good reviews so may try those. Screwdrivers, need new ones. I like Whia for precision tools (have a ton of them)... Hazet also look nice and aren't stupid expensive either.

Clearly you don't have enough tools. :)

If I did that, I think I would need 15 huge upright tool chests. Pretty though. Takes the fun out of hunting through drawers.

I had the foams made by Delta C Dynamics. Tell Sean I sent you.

I simply took a sheet of paper and a marker and traced an outline of each tool and labeled it. Then I scanned each sheet. I took a photo of each drawer as a starting point for the layout. Sean optimized the layout and suggested some changes. Once we agreed on each drawer layout, he water-jet cuts the foams and laminates the solid bottom layer.

It's not cheap, but I think it's well worth the money, as all my tools are laid out nicely, even after a bumpy tow to the track; they are very easy to find; and best of all, I can see at a glance if I'm missing anything.

did someone call me?
Dave, I'll fill up ur inbound TPD with....

Nice, impressive guys!!

^ i know,
lar is very good at designing stuff.
i am very good at buying stuff for him to design.
you should see me using the tools. hammers didn't work well trying to remove the oil filter and wrenches did no good when i tried it on adding coolant.

And I thought I was OCD... Very impressive.

^ u CLEARLY haev no met lar!
he lines up all the dorito chips by size and shape before he consumes them.

:thumbup:

So like me, around there parts; If I pick up tools they just take them from me and they tell me to go get food and cold beer..

did u make the trays or buy them? i would love something like this.

. I do exactly the same thing... With shot glasses.

tray?
i dont understand which part you are mentioning.
the blue and yellow cushion 24chromium posted are custom cut. he traces his tools on paper and scan to electronic file for the maker to water jet cut them. it's really nice and $

lar and mooty are ocd.
i stuff all my commonly used tools into one drawer so i always know where to find them.

Lmao

whos the engineer in the family??????

Hilarious!!!!:roflmao:

the cushions are nice, but dont they stain???

Those trays appeal to the deep ceeded OCD in me. Love them. Nice work Lar!

One question though: does your sickness extend to the point that if someone moved everything around your head would explode or you just reorganize? :D

urs might.
mr chromium wipes down all tools with acid sol'n then dries them in antiseptic air chamber machine in his trailer prior to putting tools back.
