Great setup, nice thread:)

I need to get the punch and chisel holder, I have broken bones before and last year my hand was twice the normal size and barely usable for weeks from working in an awkward position and pounding my hand with a 3lb mine sledge.

I have a LOT of tools, everything I need to build a house from the ground up including all finish work, cabinet building, electrical, plumbing, metal fabrication up to building roll cages, electronics, mechanics, alignment...been collecting tools for decades and putting them to good use, some I have had for 55 years, Sadly I had to sell my lift last year as to much trouble to move and store it until we buy a house again, nearly all the rest are in storage. All my tools have paid for themselves many times over and many have made a handsome profit for me as well.

The quality of my tools ranges from the very best to some pretty cheap meant to be used once or twice throw away when done with the job, upper and middle level tools are what I have by far the most of and recommend usually.

There is a lot to be gained DIYing everything you can and learning new skills along the way, time and money saved, personal satisfaction, emergency situations, helping others in duress, creating something from a pile of odds and ends is my favorite pastime.

WestcoaST, your def my kinda slut. I only recently found that I like tools carts for at home use. I borrowed a friends 3 bay garage that has almost nothing but carts, and found that stacking them around the car is better than walking to-from the tool box 1,000 times. My big box at work is always 4-5 feet from where I'm working on something


I actually use the 1 1/4" ratcheting wrench to adjust chain anchors on one of the model fork lifts I service. Its in a spot where I can't get an impact.

I work on DC electric powered heavy equipment for the biggest grocery retailer in Florida :)
Think.... 12,000 lbs Tesla forklifts and 3800 lbs tesla pallet jacks, lol. I pretty use that job to pay for my ex wife to have the latest shoes, purses, fashions, while I work at a custom 4x4 shop and build turbo's to keep me in the Wendy's/McDonalds food budget I'm accustom to, lol.

My main job does afford me 24 hour access too... 5 different mig welders, 4 different tig welders, ironman metal shear, cold cut saws, cold cut band saws, drill presses, lathes, jet upright mill, 7 sets of torches, and just about any other fab tool a gear head could want. We have 5 different shops all with similar and different tooling. My shop happens to be 65 degrees year round, so... I do all my port work here, but sometimes I have to drive to a different shop to use something like the Jet mill because we only have 1 of those.

Sometimes a little too close, lol.

I'm jealous guys. Through the years as a self-employed mechanic, I racked up thousands upon thousands worth of high & low end brand tools because I wasn't a fan of borrowing or renting them. Now I'm left with a shoe box full of tools that 80% of the time is not useful. Due to people permanantly borrowing & renting them without my consent. [?|]

I have some of my brothers sockets and my nephew's torque wrench. I also have my brother's shop vac. My neighbor's lift and jack stands. I was going to return the jack stands and lift but he said hold them at my place because his garage is a mess. It took my brother awhile to find the sockets because his garage is a mess too.

I had my sister-in-law's roasting pan for a year before I returned it.

uh heh [grinking]

The red box in the rear are my automobile tools, the black in the rear is electrical tools, the black in the center is sheetmetal/general mechanic tools (work), the little red box has bicycle tools, and the Storm/Pelican cases are empty but carry my necessary tools out of the center box when traveling overseas for work.

Sample work pic-


How to make grilled cheese in a toaster-


Either have the plate ready or the toaster slightly angled up to be ready for the ejection.
