Other than the project,one thing to me is to dream about the tool box you have:
We Ship - Snap On KRL1023 ArcticSilver Tool Box, Stainless Top Hutch & 2 Lockers | eBay
Snap On KRL1065 Blue Mr Big Tool Box & Stainless Top, Over 22K New - WE SHIP! | eBay
Yeah just dreaming................
In the infamous words of Frank Barone, "Holy Crap!!"
Now them are some nice tool boxes Gary.. I'll buy you one when I win the lottery....
My son's a professional airplane mechanic, and I know a couple of very well equipped auto mechanics and none of them have anything near that complex. One has to wonder why anyone would have a need for anything that big, even in their dreams. Holy Crap!!Quote:

A buddy of mine from High School has worked at a Snap-On cabinet plant since we graduated back in the 70's. We've talked about some of the toolboxes that come out of there. Amazing. I wouldn't have any money left to put tools in it. :LOL::LOL:
tools are great i have about four boxs in the shop . and tools by machines for set up . the bad thing is i forget what i have walk across the shop to get a tool that i need only to fine tools sitting by the machine .
Could not help but remember the Mechanic we hired a few yrs back. It took
a ton and half truck to get his tool boxs to the shop. He had it all and could
not fix much of anything, but did look good. He lasted 90 days.
One of my boxes is a KRL three bank models.....and it is so full that I had to buy another Snap On box for the overflow. The danged box is so heavy, it is difficult to move and like a big ship, hard to turn and stop. The two bank models are probably the best solution....have multiple boxes. Of course, one advantage of the big box is the fact that stealing it requires a fork lift. And, when I die, it can substitute as a coffin.
I've got a double bank Snap-on that's full, a few other smaller boxes that are all full to overflowing... What can I say? I'm a tool truck junkie!!!!!!
snap on could paint a rail boxcar red with stainless steel trim and sell it
Man, I'd have to bill a great big shop to put that in!!!! Think I'll probably have to settle for another double bank....Quote:

I could never go back to a box that had 18" deep drawers! My last 3 boxes have all had 24" deep drawers, so much nicer to fit tools in by groups or in the race box, by application. For a weekender box, the smaller boxes are probably fine, but when you're using the box every day there's no such thing as too big or too nice of a box!!!
Yepper Dave.That is one thing I want in a replacement box.One long deep top drawer for all the various sockets.Right now what I have is metal rack rails laying in the drawer and it is a mess.
