What about a show your toolbox thread?

I added some pictures to my initial post to reflect on the direction of the thread - and to do the pedantic in me justice *lol*  [scared] [scared]  [eek] [eek]  [big grin] [big grin]

Kind regards,

Found a great video on Snap-On's ATC Level 5 - Just in case anyone else is interested. I definitely don't need it, but my pedantic heart screams *yeah* *yeah* *yeah*  [eek] [eek]  [scared] [scared]  [big grin] [big grin] Maybe, just maybe, if I ever upgrade my box...


Kind regards,

Yeah, yeah, and at that tool density rate I would only need 14 or so of the 54" version tool boxes [eek]

After about an hour of use hearing her talk I would also be unplugging it  [mad]

Snap-on has a lot of industrial customers like the military, plus regular tool dealers that cover airports, and other scenarios where that setup is excellent for compliance. I could see it working in a quick lube type setting so tools don't walk off or get left under hood, but it may cost prohibitive.

The tools are suppose to go back into the tool box?

I have numerous vintage Kennedy boxes, but most times they are empty....

Glad to see others using SnapOn boxes for woodworking stuff. I much prefer using metal toolboxes- SnapOn, Gladiator and HarborFreight than wall mounted shelves- less clutter, less stuff for dust to attach itself to.

Here's my toolbox. My girlfriend and I get the keys to our new house on friday, and with it comes my first Workshop space. My systainers cant wait to get their own room!

David

Cool use of space!  I was especially surprised by the bottom drawer, which has more in it than I would have thought possible.  Did you make your own chisel role?

My girlfriend made the tool roll for me. Still in the process of filling it up with good chisels - a Nice roll deserves Nice chisels right?

And yeah, the japanese saws for perfectly in the drawer when taken apart...

I made a plywood insert for a SYS-4 so I can haul my install drills and charger with my minis full of ways to solve other people's problems.  I have the SYS-1 with organizers on top for basic fasteners, hole saws, and drill bits.  If I have to go on site, I just take the whole box in one hand and my toolbelt in the other.

One of my classic Systainers.

I think it depends on the job that you perform.  I would requires airplane mechanics to use this system.  I wish doctors in ER using this type of system so they did not forget surgery knife in patient bodies. LOL.

Absolutely! LOL  [big grin] [big grin]  If I interpret the first picture of your SO Toolbox right, you work on Boings?

In the hospital I worked in, every surgical tool and rag had a barcode on it that was scanned with a handheld Symbol unit when the item entered the operating theatre and scanned again when it was put in the bin for sterile processing.  Things that were intended to be left inside a patient were also scanned.  There were PC workstations in each OT where the surgical tech responsible for keeping track of inventory could double-check stuff, and even send the info to a monitor on a boom arm next to the cutting area.  They were big on lean manufacturing processes to cut costs and errors in surgery, but the enthusiasm for efficiency never made it to the managers of the on-site cabinet and countertop shop.

You know, it's funny, my auto related tools are in a large KRL toolbox, mostly organized neatly as Oliver's is.  And everything gets wiped down before its stowed.  The deeper drawers invite some chaos.  For years I had inadequate storage and things were all over the place and now everything for working on the cars fits in the box with room to spare.

But the woodworking tools...I only have a small tool box in the basement and everything else is scattered everywhere...complete chaos!  Like a hoarders episode.  Need to build some tool organization down there!  There is no horizontal surface that doesn't have stuff on it.

Thanks for posting Oliver, I didn't know Snap-on offered this service.  [thumbs up]  It's pretty user friendly and transparent except for that nagging voice in the background. Strictly a vision system application.

Way better than scanning with a Symbol scanner all the time, that'd certainly become a PITA.

This is my custom built Sys Port.  It built from 80/20 T-Slot Aluminum Extrusion.

 

[BadRobot]

This is my woodworking measuring tools.  I don't have much space on my wall.  So I stacked them up.

 

[Knight Woodworks]

Bad Bot,

Like that Sys Port built with 80/20, got any more pics?

I also like 80/20 SYS Port. How are the shelves/drawers held in?

Here they are.

This is the first generation.  I am working on dual stack that can fit both Systainer and Harbor Freight storage boxes in the same rack without each horizontal t-slot for each rail.

Got it, thanks...so you're just fastening the slides directly to 80/20 side supports?

 

[BadRobot]

Yes, based on this version, I just adjust the T-Slot side rail up or down.  So I don't have to pre-drill holes as plywood.  The second version does not use horizontal side rails.  It drives the cost down a lot.
