These are going into my custom trailer. I’m almost done getting everything set up. So, I’ll post pics of that soon.
Anyway, I just did the drawer of cutting tools. Check it out.
Before, and after…
Hell yeah, that looks boss Mike. Are those dewalt pocket knives any good?
Honestly, I bought it mostly because it said DeWalt on the side…
But, I do like it! I mostly use it to open the packages of other DeWalt stuff I get from Amazon. Haha.

They’re not bad actually. I use the sharpener display at my local ace and it really makes the knife. Has a glass break on the end too.
It looks really good nice work What’s Rockler? lol
My OCD is so bad when it comes to toolboxes and how things are placed in the drawers :/
Nice set up….gotta love Toughsystem

Rockler is a woodworking supply store. I assumed it was a chain, but, it’s possible it’s a regional thing.
I go there a lot, for jigs, and such. They are the only place I could find, locally, that carried the Kaizen foam, in stock.

Its crazy how every city-state is so different from one another and the way the landscaping changes is incredible
Got my screwdrivers situated…
The empty space will soon be filled by the DeWalt Insulated Vinyl Grip Screwdriver Set.
How do you like the those Klein look alike screwdrivers??

I actually just got the vinyl grip set a couple days ago. Haven’t had a chance to use them, yet.
They feel nice, though.
I’ll tell you what, though…
Kaizen foam really makes the difference with the DS250 drawer units.
I don’t know how I ever lived without it…
I love the clear plastic set…..I think those are the best screwdrivers made.
Nice set up….. You are giving me some ideas , keep it up

Nice screwdrivers man! My screwdrivers are so old that I probably have multiple brands in the box. I haven’t bought any actual hand tools from popular brands like Milwaukee yet. I guess I look at companies like that more for their power tools. Hand tools you can buy anywhere know what I mean? But I gotta say, I couldn’t pass up on buying their tape measure, so much sexyness let me tell you lol.
I assume Dewalt hardens those so that even if you put massive torque on them, the heads won’t bend. That seems to happen with cheap screwdrivers, they bend, make you go WTF? lol
I’m the same way, I think companies should focus on there power tools and not branch out into hand tools. They just want all the money it makes you think the tool is going to be of good quality just because of the brand name and sometimes its just junk.

Let me know if you like them once you use them
Love the setup! How long did it take you with the foam?
Awesome setups and not just because it’s dewalt.

I won’t lie to you, it’s not quick. It’s really not all that bad, but if you want to do a good job, you take your time.

i’m of the same thinking. when milwaukee started putting out all their various hand tools i got really excited and planned to buy a lot of it, but once i got my hands on them, they really didnt feel better than many of the other brands. a lot of them, like the pliers and screwdrivers, just seem way too expensive for what they are. sure they’re incorporating a lot of functions into one tool (innovative?), but how many guys really need a wire stripper on every tool in their box? the one cool tool i have is the dewalt hacksaw that can be configured 4 or 5 ways, and even uses recip blades, otherwise these big name power tool guys haven’t really impressed me with the standard hand tools. i guess they can’t all be winners.
it’s obvious they’re just trying to capitalize on junkies like many of us are… brand snobs! can’t fault them for that, it’s good business. and hell, the more of that stuff they sell the more money they make to innovate their power tools. i’m on board with that.
mike, the setup looks great. sometimes i wish i had ocd so my collection could be better protected and get shown off like yours. if i took a picture of my stuff all you would see is bags! and one messy toolbench…

Yup, when I buy a screwdriver I don’t need it to be a Swiss army knife I just want a screwdriver
