Here is my toolbox for tech school. I just took my bottom section of my toolbox. If you guys have any quid toons about what any certian tool is or what is in a drawer just let me know.
I meant to say questions.
looks pretty good man
yea nice set up nicholas
So far I am the only person in my class who has a 3/8 impact and a straight and angle die grinder. The red cases in the drawer with the air tools have my 3/8 impact sockets in them. I have both a standard and metric set that are deep and shallow. I am also the only one that has 1/2 deep sockets too. I also bought one of the new pittsburgh pro 3/8 long flex ratchets as well but I didn’t have it when I took the pictures.
Nice set of tools and nice start.
I started with a craftsman box but mine was grey, mine fell apart in the first month, currently looking into buying a snap on epic box. My dealer sucks tho, hasnt budged on tho prive. U got a good draft so far:)
Frankie is ur dealers name Steve? He’s our dealer over in colton.
I have had my box for almost three years now. I haven’t had an issue or complaint with it yet. Those snap on boxes are ridiculously expensive Frankie. If I wind up needing a bigger box I would its likely get another craftsman or a harbor freight one.
Yea Nicholas those harbor freight one look pretty good!
how about husky tools? with a full lifetime warranty
No my dealer is some dude name daniel, never gives good prices. I live by colton in rialto but work in ontario…
@Nicholas, u probably have the roller bearing model, i had the basic cheapy, trust me it sucked had beer can thicknes metal. Harvor freight are nice but i wanma buy a big box that’ll last me the rest of my career, even tho my kobalt has been good to me its time to step up, trust me if u work on cars everyday and open ur box every day 100 times and u got a crap load of tools, then buying a pro box is worth it. My box was broken into b4, if u just pull the drawers really hard they open… and yes they are pricey, thats why u gotta find a good deal
Yea I have a snap on 2 actually I will take pics of them very exspenso but has been worth it … My buddy also has a harbor freight and it has also been good to him,And Frankie I work in ur neck of woods on the corner of rancho and fogg
small world 😀
Nice start Nick. How’s that Carlyle roto working out?
It is working out great. The handle fits nice in your hand and hasn’t faded or deformed. It still looks like new once I clean it. I haven’t experienced any slipping of the teeth either. Overall it is a great ratchet. I have had mine for over two years now and it still works like the day I bought it. My partner in my engines class is really looking into getting one since he likes it so much.
looks like a great setup however i see a bigger box in your future.
I have a two drawer middle section along with a five drawer top section, but I left them at home since I didn’t want to move all of that around
