These are my boxes, The older set on the right are close to 20 years old, the top was my dads and the bottom was my uncles, both bought around the same time in the early 90’s. that set has 17 drawers but i have now outgrew it as i add more tools so i picked up the smaller set at sears on sale foe a good price. not the prettiest or the best, but Like everyone else seems to agree on its the tools that count. Might do a video tour and post it later
This is my pride and joy I also just bought a blue point roll cart but I don’t have any pictures of it as of now.

Current box. Out of room. Just ordered a locker to soon be stuffed full. Probably go bigger next year.
90% of the time I’m in my bay so my cart is just a ULINE plastic cheapie.

Bad pic quality took and bad cell phone. That’s how I cram tools into my tiny box. No room at shop for a larger box so I’m making do.

My newest addition, had it a few months. still isnt enough room, So now im in the process of ordering a new cornwell box.
It’s a thread from the dead from before my time, Kettle’s digging into the archives! Please Kettle, post up pics of your new Cornwell box when it shows up. I’ve only seen one of those boxes before.
I’ve actually just recently taken videos of all my stuff to tally it up for assessing insurance value. I’m fortunate to be at the point of not really needing any more small tools. At some point, I’ll have them all edited together into a nice tool video for my YouTube channel. Here is the wall units:
Here is a video of my box when i first got it setup and was still loading tools into it.. It has a side cab and another set of 7 drawers on the side now though..Nothing too impressive compared to most of y’all, but it gets the job done!
Also, as im sure everyone will notice the brand.. Im really really impressed with the quality of a harbor freight box.. the 44″ + boxes really are of good quality for the price! I also forgot to show the blue craftsman box next to it.. i keep all my specialty tools in that one.. it was the box i used as my first 6 years as a tech. Just cant seem to put it out to pasture quite yet.
I am an garage/backyard mechanic, i used to be a full time technician , but now i am a full time tech on thing that dont have wheels, does it still count? this picture is of my current box ill have to dig up my old boxs and my home box
If you got 1 hr and 25 mins to kill here are all my tools and my box and service cart. it is broken up in multiple videos it was mainly done for insurance purposes still working on that tool list.
