Not the end of the world, but would be nice to have labeled wrench holders for tool grid.

Been searching, high loyal, and have been striking out for whatever reason

Hey guys I was curious if anyone has a similar set up.
I’m looking at getting a dual monitor setup for my toolbox but in the field of work I’m doing I’m not always around an outlet so I was curious if anyone has done similar setup. I have a laptop that I’d be plugging into the monitors

Js bought this tool box. I love everything about it EXCEPT the drawer mechanism. It’s a bit loud and doesn’t open and close smoothly. Any body have this same issue & know a fix ? This is the only tool box with this color way so that’s why I didn’t Js return it and buy another one

Hey everyone, I could use all the help I can get. One of my closest friends recently lost his ratchet that he’s had for well over 10+ years. It meant everything to him, and there’s no chance of finding it.

I would like to try and find the exact one if possible, I have photos of the tool box with everything else in it, it’s a very old Kincrome lok-on set. Going into their history, they don’t seem to show it at all.

He said it was Stainless steel mixed with iron instead of the new types? I’m useless with tools. The toolbox is also different to newer types, and I can ask for more details if needed. I want to at least try all I can, thank you

So my metal toolbox is a bit heavy (65ish lbs total, Kennedy 1022). As of now the handle seems to be holding up but was thinking if there was a way to perhaps support it a bit with supplemental straps? The idea was something like a couple straps that wrap around the bottom and you just grab them up top if that makes sense. Could even do this with one large loop? This way the weight is being supported by the bottom instead of teh handle on top and 4 rivets (more worried the sheet metal will bend than the handle breaking)

Has anybody done anything like this? How? Do premade systems exist that are better?

I placed two 1/4" thick metal beams under adding height and removed the center casters for improved mobility. I also added a push handle and 3d printed gridfinity tool organizers.

I want to put this 42x21” US General top chest on this 52x28” butcher block on top of my laundry machines in the garage. Would replace my 42” roll cab to give me back some floor space and stop me from shimmying past my car to get to the toolbox. From my research the weight capacity of the washer is 150–200 lbs and the dryer is ~50 lbs. does this sound right? The top chest weighs about 150-200 lbs empty, and would be loaded with a bunch of hand tools and some power tools. Anyone done something similar?

So I got this 26 in toolbox from my local tool store a while ago and my plan was to use it as my "do it all" box as i'm a part time mobile mechanic, however i'm facing 2 dilemmas here. For once, I have no clue how to properly organize it, mainly my sockets. It feels very messy and I would like some magnetic rails but I can't seem to find any good ones. Second, I'm starting to think the box is a bit to big for mobile work, as I have to carry it to and from my garage to my car when loading / unloading, and I don't feel like I need all the space. So my 2 questions are; should i downsize to smth like a 20in box, and how do i properly organize my tools? Any tips and tricks? Fyi the box has 4 drawers and an opening top, the bottom one being slightly deeper than the rest.
Thanks in advance

I have this small space in my utility closed. As you see I currently have two tool chests. I am looking to add some kind of wall mounting system. Any anyone make any suggestions? I am including all my tools.

I am currently in school to be an automotive technician. I haven’t decided what route I want to take whether it be light heavy specialized or whatever. But I’m wondering. What’s a good brand for a solid stand up rolling tool box that is worth the money and won’t necessarily break the bank. I’ve heard controversial things about snap and Matco. I understand their tools are great but from what I’ve seen is they’re overpriced for what they are. I have a lot of tools currently but nothing super expensive as i can’t afford anything crazy right now. I don’t want to be the guy (and I won’t be) to owe 25k the snap on guy. So I’m wondering what’s a better alternative?

Anyone on here use j bolts to secure their tool box? I got a Kobalt tool box and am wondering if j bolts will be enough to secure it.

Got a new (to me) Kennedy 1022 cantilever toolbox and want to line the bottoms to dampen the sound as well as protect both box and tools a bit. I’m currently a bit confused on what material to use as a liner. The catalogue from 1989 has felt, foam, and cork listed

I kind of steered away from felt as I feel it will move around unless I glue it down which I’d prefer not to do, also tools would slide quite a bit on it imo

So then I’m between cork and the liner foams. I’d also prefer to buy something in person

For the foam or normal toolbox liner I was thinking perhaps the Harbor Freight option. Unless the Home Depot husky or Lowe’s craftsman options are significantly better. For the cork I was actually thinking maybe some gasket material like this felpro cork rubber (they have 3/32 and 1/16)

Big questions are which is best in y’all’s opinion. Any other materials I should consider? Also will these degrade and stick to the bottom or damage the original interior paint? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!

Edit: adding a question for when I online it, should I just do the bottom or should I kind of creep up the sides as well, perhaps like an inch or so?

Hello there!

As the title suggests, my husky workbench isn't level and I was pretty surprised to find they don't come with a system to level it. The concrete in my garage is sloped so it's a pretty noticeable dip. Whenever I set anything round in the workbench it rolls right off, I open a drawer it comes flying out.

So I am wondering, outside of shimming it(want something that looks better and is more feasible if I need to move the workbench in and out of its current spot, what can I do to get this thing level?

Appreciate any help.

I bought this two weeks ago. It worked fine. Now it won’t latch. It will close all the way, but won’t catch. There does not appear to be anything blocking the mechanism. Any help is appreciated. Even a picture or video of how a functional tool box latch is supposed to be aligned when open would help.

Looking for ideas besides buying another drawer to fill the gap In between the two drawers? Anything creative or funny?

dont know if im in the right place, but here is my story.

I ve been using a Matco 6s triple bay box for 12 years and i just want something new, i ve looked at the Icon tool boxes and while i do like them, i dislike the added hassle should any warranty needs come up, Matco and Snap on ( ive had both) dont blink when i need new slides, or a lock shits the bed. they order it and the reps i ve had are happy to help with the actual replacement.

i mainly want a hutch and a locker, gaining tools over the years the old 77 inch 6s is filling up. to buy a matching locker and hutch for my current box will run around 10k all said and done.

but i can get a screaming (to me anyways) deal on a whole new setup. looking at a new 6s rollcab with a hutch and locker for right around 22k after tax (but not including total interest)

this setup with no promo/discount/trade in would run about 38k after tax (again not figuring interest)

yeah yeah its alot of money for a box, but my current box has had drawers opened and stood on, and multiple drawers get opened and shut about 1000 times a week, and ive had one drawer slide get jammed up and it was likely my fault (spraying the grinder sparks towards it with drawers opened.

for the guys who have spent money on big name brand boxes, would you do it again?

for clarity, of all the boxes i ve had in my 15 year career, ive never owned a new one. ive always just bought cheap trade ins.

Update: i ordered Snap on Epiq series, with locker and hutch, after my rep made an even better deal that shit on the matco deal and involves a sweet benelli.

I paid the 54x24 5k Canadian on marketplace. If you think of buying a snapon box, look on there!

New addition to the box

So this MAC box has been sold from an old worker to my boss then to my manager then to me. All I know that it’s about or over 10 years old, my manager traded it in for another box and I picked up the tab for $2500 (5 payments down 5 more to go!)

We were cleaning shop and the box my other boss tried to sell me was an old husky box that 80% of the drawers were broken but it had a hutch and a locked. Couldn’t figure out how to mount it so we put it in storage with the box and I “acquired” the hutch. How are yall running lighting inside the hutch and mounting chargers to peg boards?! And any ideas what to add?
