Tool Boxes/Work Benches

How about some pics of the tools that make the BBF power??

Low buck set ups to the full out Snap-Off stuff!!

I run Craftsman mostly in a highboy side/side box. I only have a 17'x22' garage.

yeah but I bring the good tools home from work lol.

Honestly my "home" tools are more abundant and of better quality than most............

i spend the tool money on the BBF! most of my name brand stuff i get used from ebay.

I have a similar toolbox too the one on the left in this link.http://www.montezumamfg.com/ The CPL stuff is pretty spendy compared to the knockoff one that I have. It is mounted on my pickup and probably contains more of an investment than the Dodge pickup was. It is full of Snappy tools. I also have a crossover box that carries a lot of tools and other supplies, and the two of them together are not enough. I bought a service body this summer and am going to have it blasted and repainted to match the truck. I do most of my work outside of a the shop, and just pull the pickup in the shop when I need to work on somethng. I have two shops that are loaded with just about any kind of tool that one could need. The shops have several benchs in them, but they are usually covered with junk until I clean them, then my father-in-law loads them up again. He built an A frame tool caddy many years ago and it has a set of wrenches that go from 3/8" to 2", 3/8" and 1/2" socket sets, extensions and screwdrivers on one side and on the other is another set of metric wrenches. It is kind of handy for rolling around to work on stuff, but I'm kind of spoiled with my Snappy tools and prefer to use them. I absolutely refuse to use Craftsman wrenches or ratchets. The sockets seem pretty good though. I've lost more skin to Craftsman ratchets than any other thing. They always slip out of gear on me when I get to using them. The raised rib in the middle of the wrenches fits the lines in my hand to a T and cut the crap out of the palm of my hand, so I'll spend a little extra for the Snappy stuff. I have a great Snap-On salesman here and buy a lot of used tools from him at great prices. One of my favorite things that I have is a roll around Snappy tool cart. I use it all of the time.

^^^ thats pritty much how i use me bottom box.

Well Big Daddy, I think you must have the best one. Driving your tool box. Perfect!!

My garage isn't big enough to have a tool cart but when I was in the trade they were great.
