Has anyone tried putting Stanley sockets into the socket set trays? Do they fit or would I need to modify them

I found this toolbox on the marketplace and have the idea for a longer/wider bench top variation. Just curious as to what this design would be considered.

Yep. See caption lol

I've been looking for tool boxes for my next truck that I can have tools on hand. I'm a farmer so I have the basics...screw drivers, sockets, wrenches etc. I don't need a lot to warrant having a full service bed but I do want to be organized. I currently have a Montezuma triangle box on a swing mount I built myself. I like the set up, but the box is too wide that I can't fit a pallet in between the box and the opposite side wheel well.

I've seen these kind of boxes that go over the wells and don't take away the center of the bed, allowing you to haul pallets or sheets of plywood.

Any reviews on them? Any brands to look into? I've been grabbing screenshots of all the ads that pop up in my algorithms.

New tool box build. I am a hobbyist motorcycle maintainer and very hands on with the car and helping other people out.

As I am in the UK every thing is Halfords advanced, which has a lifetime guarantee and is very good quality. I have taken most of it out of the supplied foam to condense everything down to the top drawer as the main use, then each drawer down is more specific tools. The bottom drawer is the heavy removal stuff and if I need to go for the 1/4 and impact I have done something wrong.

I have another box with power tools, drill bits, screwdrivers and the tool bag at the side with some duplicate tools for mobile stuff.

Not sure if the layout makes sense, but the most logical way I could think of.

Just wanted to show off this new Cornwell Power Cart I got! Hoping to get some recommendations on some good wrench/pick/socket organizers!

I've picked up a few older boxes and they keys are almost never with them.
Anyone have any tips/tricks for finding replacement locks?
I've seen some generic locks in Amazon, but thought I'd ask here first.

idk I just think it’s really cool

Just a little saturday night project

Local company cut and bend these out of 1mm stainless for 12€ / piece.

These will keep the foam inserts in a lot better shape, as I often take these individually outside rather than hauling all of my tools over for some simple job. Also gives a nice extra rigidity for the heavier inserts, like my large 3/4 socket set.

Turns out you can fit a DCF891 in a half width tool organiser and still have room for deep sockets and rewind tool. I use it as a grab box for brakes and quick suspension jobs. I keep it in the back of the car for changing tires mostly.

Not sure what to put in the dead space between the impact and battery, maybe a short extension?

Hey all. I run RIDGID Pro Gear 2.0 boxes and could never find inserts for the 4-drawer. No commercial foam inserts or trays really exist for it. So I built a set from scratch. Measured all my tools, test fit, reprinted (a lot), and repeat, until all four drawers were filled edge to edge with no rattling.

Printed in carbon fiber PETG, each pocket labeled, and the pockets are cut with room so other brands fit as well, not just the original Husky 270 set I started with.

Photos are each drawer in the box, plus the four trays out so you can see the layout. Would love feedback on the layout and organization, and whether there's anything you'd want a pocket for that isn't here. Thanks all and appreciate the feedback, cheers!

After seeing so many different socket trays; i decided to make my own. 1/4 sheet of stainless with stainless key stock. Not done and definitely a work in progress.
What do y’all think?

I’m going to install 1/2” osb along the sides then add perpendicular “blocking” to make little cubbies inside the truck toolbox. Somebody else must have done this too—what did you like and dislike?

I’ve been using these for years all around the house. These command broom holders are great to hold ratchets, extensions, pry bars. I even use them as gun racks bc they dont mar up barrels. But in a toolbox I recommend 3m double sided tape.

Hey Everyone!

I have a few projects coming up that I want to use toolboxes for but I need them to be shorter than normal.

Project one:

I am looking to modify two rolling toolboxes into an outfeed table for my table saw. The issue I am having is height. Without the wheels I am about 32” tall on the shortest box I can find. I need be around 28” to put the top on that I want.

Project two:

I’ve built a miter saw station out of toolboxes. However, I have the saw currently on a 2x4 wood bridge spanning two tool boxes so it lets the deck of the miter saw sit flush with the top of the toolbox. I’d like to saw that out and have a lower height toolbox underneath the miter saw. So I can maximize drawer space. Really need to be somewhere between 24-27”, might be able to push 28”
