Sup guys, wanted to show off my kobalt toolbox that i bought for 200$ off a coworker. Its a two piece box. Its kicked ass for the last 4 years. Im currently trying to upgrade to a matxo toolbox but i have a lot of love for this silver bbq of mine.lol. Im 22 and work at a GM dealership in so-cal.. Im currently a “lubeman” and training in electrical and do a wide range of things at work from oil changes, water pumps, door handles, interior trim to trans services, tires and radiators. I have a mix of tools and still adding more all the time, thats why i love this forum..so check it out.
Top drawer is the one that gets used the most. Mostly snapon sockets, ratchets, extensions with some matco swivel sockets, also magnetic socketa, torx, e-torx,snap on pry bars.
First bottom drawer is full of a cornwell small plier set only 80$ and an irwin bit set that works awesome for me.
Under that is som matco wrenches, some of my favorite, bluepoint ratcheting wrenches, crows feet, and line wrenches
Under that is a tap and die set from matco tools… 
Under that is a junk drawer with extra screws
Next is my hammers, air hammer, filter wrenches, and rivet guns
Matco air hammer
Very bottom drawer has my m18 gun, scan tool, flashlight and so…most of this stuff comes out of the drawer and sets on top of the box since its used dailey
Right half of the box first drawer, extractor, bone tools, sodering gun
Next is air drill, matco drill bit set, and some other goodies
Under that i got all my air tools, matco 1/2 and 3/8 gun(basically IR), matco ratchets 1/4 and 3/8, die grinders IR and a snap on.. Brand new in box IR gun that i havnet yet used(my backup).
Bottom right drawer has a basic fuel pressure tester, coolant pressure tester and some cup oil filter sockets
The other half of the box looks like a bbq and top drawer has paper work..on top of the box is two matxo torque wrenchs. 3/8 and 1/2
Under that is just some tapes, clips, and some other stuff
Under that is my screwdrivers mostly matco, lisle, Cornwell
Next my craftsman wrenches, chanelocks, snap on adjustables, knipex
Bottom drawer is full of pliers, from rebranded knipex to snap on 
The rest of the drawera besides a masters heat gun has junk and paperwork:)
I just moved into my house and had 0 tools and since ive grown to like Milwaukee this is my old tool cart at home that i filled with a couole things, only the top drawer has any tools
I need to do another front wheel bearing on my 97 Pontiac Grand Prix it makes a hell of a noise when your driving it. Other than that the car is pretty reliable.
Cool cars too bad pontiac is bye bye
Cool setup, lots of nice tools and all neatly stored. Like the sticker on the kobalt box
Thanx Javier, i would of done a video but i dont have any of ur skills.lol
The Kobalt Boxes are nice. I have a stack of black ones in my garage… covered in saw dust right now…
Yea its done the job and has a built in power strip in the side but the box has its limitations, ive broke the rivets on the top drawer were my sockets and ratchets are. The rivets hold up the ball bearing slides…no bigey but its time for a pro box.
Love it! What’s the make on that drill bit set?

Its Matco not sure if its rebranded… Life time warranty 1/4 and up
Most of the trucks are re-branding Irwin stuff these days. Good bits though.
Yea they are pretty good bits. The warranty is what really makes them worth it.. I break a hex irwin bit or a drill bit and i just text me toolman. I feel like i get free tools, i got no problem abusing the s#@t out of them:)
That’s typically the advantage to the trucks and often the only thing that justifies their price.
Great looking set Frankie!
You might want to consider the Harbor Freight US General Industrial tool boxes. They run some slick deals on them and I hear they are pretty dang awesome for the price. The price for some of the Tuck tool boxes just blowers my mind you could get a nice used car for what they charge.
Nice set up
Rumor has it we’re gonna see a new Trans Am

It’s a re clipped Camaro 
This was a hurst version at sema awhile back
I saw that. Here’s a bit of trivia for you.
The 1977 Trans Am made famous by “Smokey and the Bandit” was the lowest powered Trans Am ever produced. The one most famous for being fast was actually the slowest. How’s that for irony.
Hahaha it was slow alright.
