Thanks for idea; I bought my wife one of those knee mats. She looked confused at first but eventually she got it.
Lol.😈😂
A tidy & clean tool box is, a safe and efficient tool box. Every thing has it's place, no more rummaging around for stuff 😊
Lol, I worked next to a guy he had that one drawer full of everything, I'd ask him for a 10mm combo wrench & watch him hunt😂
Safer for you; safer for the tools!
Love your description of everything. That down home southern voice and you make it all sound so simple.
Thank you , I try lol 😆
For both pliers and wrenches I use 8 gauge solid copper wire coiled up. It's cheaper and very adjustable, plus it takes up less space.
My wife said "Thanks A lot Keith" with a mad look on her face... And I did see my sticker!!! LOL
😄Right! I just got a Harbor Freight credit card two days ago, Keith damn sure ain't helping my addiction😂
This the first video of yours that I've seen. I'm impressed.
Magnetic bit holders? You just saved me hours of work making my own. Thank you!
All great tips and ideas sir👍🏻
My grandfather always taught me from my earliest memories of watching him work, then as I got old enough to start helping always stressed, a clean tool and neatly organized work bench and tool storage boxes are happy tools.
I’m proud to admit that in my 60+ years now I’ve always followed those words of wisdom.
Always enjoy your videos so much too and thank you till next time.
Take care and have a good day.
I follow the same
Philosophy. Taught my kids the same thing. In the end, you will save time if you clean your tools and put them away. The next time you start wrenching, it will go much faster because you know where everything is.
Your Grandfather was a smart man
@@FishinNStuff
Thank you sir, he taught me a lot that I’ll always stick.
Looking forward to your next video, always enjoy them.
Take care and see ya then👍🏻
I just spent the other day vinegar and peroxide dipping an entire bucket full of rusted (reeeaaaalllllly rusted) tools I'd found out and about, and then zinc electroplating them all again. (Some were kids stealing wm and leaving them out in the yard for god knows what) im So busy. So Many projects working late into the night, alot gets left around. Have multiple project cars, motor builds, home maintenance and upgrades, 40 chickens I had to build a big nice coop and run for recently, plus a never ending list of big projects. My garage is a MESS. I've been a mechanic (classic restoration and performance mods) for a living. Been an Ironworker for a living. Done construction for a living. I have alllllllllllll the tools. Probably 10 of each socket at least lol. Plus a big 5'×7' high power C02 cnc laser cutter/engraver in my garage. It's a MESS. My project today is to tame it and get it back to how I used to operate. Besides the never ending honey-do and must do list. The garage and my projects wad my happy place. And it's been unusable for a while. One car Parked in there and a billion other things and tools all helter skelter from late night project after late night project. It's a really large 2 car detached garage. Have a workbench with low cabinets that runs 100% of the width of the garage and I still (if it was clean) have enough space to park 2 cars in there with enough left over room to easily pull a motor and transmission with an engine hoist without being cramped. Thanks for the ideas
I was skeptical but after a few minutes, I must say good stuff and thanks for sharing.
gotta say, Taiwan ain't china for purposes of manufacturing identification. Virtually everything i have gotten from Taiwan over the years has been technically good; actually, i prefer Taiwanese tools, if i can get them. i'm not a professional anything, however. Heck, i've had the same potato peeler for over twenty years, made in Taiwan, and i'll fight you if you try to take it from me, lol.
I also have supported them cus they are the closest to being like the USA than any other Asian country. Plus china hates them so that means something lol. They do manufacture good tools.
I'll fight you if you fight me for trying to take it from you.
China gets a bad reputation for what we spec out. If you dont want lead in your children spoons tell them you dont want lead. Or just dont cry when you need to do the recall. For higher quality, what ends up happening is as you spec higher tolerence the lack of expertise in china makes their price go up. They know they can make your HF mini lathe but as you want a nicer version the chinese cannot do it in bulk cheap. Then Taiwan is better then German then US. We can do high end for $$$$ china can do low end for $ taiwan is mid range for $$
Taiwan is also a democracy with a bit better regulations. So that's a win too.
Taiwanese products are good in my experience too
I like that you picked a Mopar Orange power strip. I appreciate your ideas, got me brainstorming for my US General 30" tool cart.
This is what you call quality content. Thank you for all the great ideas. I’ll be using them next week while on vacation.
I would jump on the Icon bandwagon just for the cool nice holders they come with!
Very useful video, thank you Sir.
Art from Ohio
This is one of the hands down best videos I've every seen.....Thank you!
My cousin introduced me to HF about 10yrs ago! Ive been mad every "cent's"! LOL😂 It's great what you showed. Thanks, cause i do need to organize mine, for sure! 🙏❤️🇺🇸
I thought I had a good set up between my two toolboxes, but now I see I can save a bunch of room and make things more effective. Many thanks, as always!!
Great video. I must admit I was initially put off by the grammatical rule-bending, which usually implies poor content. However, Fishin N Stuff drew me in with excellent video editing to back his steady stream of valuable examples. I got new ideas and soon realized the humor and self-deprecation being adeptly employed by Fishin N Stuff that I would not have discovered if I had followed my initial inclinations. Thank you for sharing your insights.
It is good that you are slowly learning not to act like a pompous jackass. Congratulations, and keep up the good work!
@@Free_PurebloodIke dem right dare
Thanks always for good input. I use a big egg crate to organize "screws, " and whatever else I find
Appreciate all the great ideas and inspiration; now off to the tool store...
Thanks for the ideas for organization. I'm a diesel mechanic (have been for going on 35 years) and I learned early on about keeping organized in your box. At a glance I can tell if something is MIA and can pretty much walk up to either of my boxes, open a drawer and blindly grab the proper tool, or when someone wants to borrow something, tell them which drawer and what position it's in. Thanks for some great ideas.
I agree , there's nothing worse than my tools going MIA
Sir, I watch vids everyday and this is the best one I seen in months. Thank You, I wanted to go to Harbor Frighet anyways.
I really appreciate you watching
I worked for years as an ASE tech, thank goodness my wife is a manager at Harbor Freight. 😊
I've had the same socket holders since 1993 when I attended the Marine Mechanics Institute in Orlando Florida, was a Marine Mechanic for a few years until I got out of the Industry. Now I'm retired and getting back into welding after getting my degree in welding technology. Thank you for this video these tool storage options will be my next purchases at Harbour Fright😊
My buddy David that's on a lot of the videos . His son graduated from there too .
You do an excellent job with this video, and I really like your voice, I could listen to you all day. Very precise and three flow of the video is great!
Just bought one of those bit holders. Thought it was cool. I had a remote outside job where I took it and stuck it to my tractor bucket because I was doing a mailbox install. The little SOB fell off the bucket and the bits stuck in it popped out and went everywhere. That sucked. So that thing will stay in the shop and not get used like that again. These are good just don't expect the bits to stay put if you ever drop it. Too bad the magnet on the back is not stronger. Oh well. I did buy some of these HF strip magnets and do use those to hold and organize bits works good. Last time those went on sale I bought a bunch of em.
Hell yeah I watched this whole video and I really feel like i know what he is saying. Great video two thumbs up.
This video is 🔥!!! Thank you for making it!!!
Thank you for watching it
Excellent, you gave me some great ideas. What's obvious to some people others like me need alittle help. Great video, thank you. And l come from the south and I appreciate your accent. Preciate it buddy, your on the right track.
Reuse the trays from microwave food as drawer storage or separators. Great for small tools and parts.
Magnetic strips are awesome on the boat also. I use a 12" strip for hanging my lures on , until they dry , before I replace them in my tackle box....as a salmon fisherman , we like to call it washing lures , after awhile you can wash quite a few lures in a day.....👍 👍 🇨🇦
I started out using HF magnetic strips for my screwdrivers, they work so well I started using them for my pliers, wrenches, ratchets and extensions. I just lay them in a drawer and put my tools on them.
I worked at a auto dealership for a while & a few months after I was hired in, there was a scandal. Apparently, the local snap-on rep was selling boxes to the techs in the area, but he was buying them from HF and replacing the logo, pocketing the $ and handling the warranty swaps himself. When he was promoted and one of the techs needed a bigger box, his replacement offered the tech $20 for trade value on his HF box with a snap on logo glued on, which brought the scam to light. The scammer ended up getting fired, but what I find most interesting is that none of the technicians who got these HF tool boxes with the snap-on logo had any idea that they were using something from Harbor Freight instead of snap on before it became public. Afterward, a couple of them who had actual snap on boxes insisted that they had been given HF boxes. Really makes one question if there really is an appreciable difference between the brands. 🤔
Here's a couple hacks for stuff in this video:
For your welding table, pick up some of those cheap plastic plug covers they sell to keep babies from sticking their fingers in outlets. Put them in your unused power strip plugs to keep dirt & debris out.
STOP buying button cell batteries in single packs! Go on amazon or fleabay to get a package of 50-100 of the same size for the cost of a couple of the name brand batteries that last just as long. Even if you don't use all of them, you're still money ahead.
Thank you for the tips . I buy the 100 packs off Amazon too lol . Never put it on a video though 🤔
You’re right about HF having neat items, I have some, but need to get more tool organizers. My wife put the paper towel holder on the dishwasher door, she also has the magnetic Kleenex box holder, screwdriver holder on her crafting table that I made for her using two old Craftsman rolling tool boxes & a old 8’ door as the top. HF is our budget friendly go to store. 👍your video, had me😀a few times, keep’m coming
This is EXACTLY what I needed I know what you are saying.. Thanks!
just in time as I'm organizing my tool box. Harbor freight here i come
Very entertaining and useful. I do want to go for a rolling box but I hate how stuff gets messed up in the drawers.
My favorite new organizer accessory is the 1/4” hex shank bit holder from Amazon it holds 12 bits on two carabiners and it’s inexpensive
Those HF single magnetic aluminum socket rails are great! Koken tools, a high end Japanese tool manufacturer, use the same one. The exact same ones! I highly recommend them.
Thanks for the tips and the laughs
The best socket holders that work for me are the us general magnetic rail. Sockets stay on tight the rail can be placed upside down and on it side without a single socket falling out. You can also customize them by cutting them short and adding or deleting clips. I replaced all of mine. I got them with coupons. I have extra clips and rails just in case.
Those are nice . I'm really liking those icon tools with holders . But I can't justify replacing all mine lol
I use those as well. Really nice.
All really great tips. Thanks
Always pushing Harbor Freight!
Your Chinese accent gives your game away, lol
Thanks, some good ideas!
Haha 😄 I know right lol . Sometime accused me of being sponsored by them lol I wish
Great video I used a lot of those things already for my tools.
And I shall be using all 12, thank you sir
Must be one of the "stuff" videos of "fishin n stuff". Some good magnet idears.
Very well oganized tool box
That strip is the best i only have one plug i have access to at work so the strip charges my lights,electric tools, and fan and the other open wall plug i keep a drop cord on to use the ac machine battery charger and welder
Awesome ideas! Now just try to get those lazy mechanics/ lazy fishermen to put them on their Christmas lists!😂
Looks good. I have about 95% of stuff you talked about. I got a few good ideas though.
I guess what I’m interested in are bins that sit on shelves in my storage shed. Bins for nuts, bolts, washers, joist hangers, braces, etc. probably something like how ace hardware had their bins for nuts, bolts, washers, etc.
Never miss your videos. Great stuff
Thank You Again Guy.
You have some great ideas and I will be using some. But your presentation is over the top good.
Thank you
I liked your organizational video!
Well done!
Best of the best right here folks. Great job Keith. 🤙🏼
Absolutely love you videos, Big fan here, I’m located in New Albany Indiana and it would be awsome to meet you in person. Thanks for all the great information.
I'm a DIY Guy so I liked the drawer mat for your socket wrenches
Cut a strip off and put cuts in it and
You've got screwdriver/wrench holders a lot of good ideas to make tools holder for myself I'm way to cheap to pay $20 for a socket holder&bit holder
I've organized and reorganized the shed multiple times. These ideas will help me finally get it done.
My man! Thanks for sharing bro
I always love watching your videos when I can. I noticed your award from YT on your tool box in the background. Congrats on getting that.
Thank you . I appreciate it
My garage looks like I took yellow and red drills, put them in my toolbox shook everything up and poured it on my project boat and bench. I know what I’m doing this weekend.
Great video!!!!!
You can use a Dremel to cut out the shape of the tool. Saved me a BUNCH of time!!! 9:59
AWESOME video! But my OCD just kicked in to hyperdrive!!! This video was oddly satisfying as I love organization......neat, clean, and tidy 😊 👍👍👍
You are one funny guy...I watch your videos even when I have no interest in the topic but just need a good laugh. However, this video will help me organize my tool shed which drives me crazy when I have to look for that random tool and can't find it:).
Greats hacks!! Lov it!!
Thanks for the info.
mind blown great video
Awesome.
Another excellent video, Keith! Harbor Freight needs to seriously consider sending you a check every month! Stay Safe!
I was wondering if this is a paid advertisement, lol.
Another Great video Mr Stuff, man I needed a video like this to give me some ideas, I'll send you a couple of pictures of my tool box , heck I'm lucky if I can find the right wrench to fit anything. Who would have thunk of all Tha things they have to organize your tools. Thanks for sharing Brother, Can't wait until the next build
The best Harbor Freight commercial yet!
Thank you . I wish they'd sponsor me lol
Happy birthday! These are terrific ideas. I'll be going to Harbor Freight Tools to buy some of those organizers for my tools and my husband's tools. Also, that cord holde will work well on his smoker. I'm paranoid about tripping on the cord in the garage.
i should put a reminder to watch this video annually and use some of the ideas again
My husband and I Love all your videos and I watch your wife's also! Do you have any truck toolbox hacks?
I don't have any YET lol . I appreciate you watching and I'll give that some thought
I actually used a utensil organizer my wife no longer used. It’s easy to cut to fit the drawer space you need it to fit in.
This was a great video! I am gonna have to go to harbor freight with like 100 bucks and just get all the organizers, they'll be very useful
Great video. I have very few boxes. I do have five ammo cans, but each can is for very specific things. Cut off wheels, etc. Each can has a large label. I hung concrete reinforce wire on all my shop walls. I use dollar store hooks. 90 percent of my stuff is hung and I can see almost all my tools at a glance. Even stuff inside the box it came in. Ratchets, heat gun, drills, etc. I gotta get the cordless drill organizer that you showed. That would free up work bench space. I also use a lot of dollar store super magnets. I love being organized. Great video. Thank you.
Those are some great ideas
Thank you
You should slide the power organizer towards the side with your long wrenches and use it to organize those as well
This gave me some ideas for tool organizers I may be able to make with my 3d printer for even less than harbor freight! Gonna try to make some insert organizers for my kobalt case stack tool boxes!
That's a great idea
Not sure how I haven’t seen your channel before but I sees what I like and I like what I sees. New sub 👍
Thank you very much
👍👍👍I know what ya sayin’ Awesome video like always Sir . Keep’em coming 👍👍👍👍
Love you, Brother! Always enjoy your vids! Keep up the good work!
Thank you
found a good deal on 9mm ammo.... came in neat plastic ammo holders that I couldn't just throw away.. those screw driver bits fit real nice IN THOSE BULLET HOLES...KEEP EM right there on my work bench....ALSO....my favorite is those 18 inch mag strips at H F... priced best on sale, sometimes 3$
Dude, I gotta start a TH-cam channel so I can get paid for cleaning up my tool box! Just sayin. Good job thanks.
Yep hahaha
This is the first video I have watched of yours.
Love the vid, I have the same tool box as yours!
You can use the lid with the magnet holders to add space.
When are you gonna take us on a fishin' trip Keith? The sweltering heat of summer might not be the best time, but maybe in the fall? Take us fishin'!!! 🙂
I will . It's very hard to drag myself out there in this 90 degree heat lol . Ive even been working at night a lot in the shop lately
@@FishinNStuff I've lived in the MISERABLE South for 10+ years, I know the pain.
Dude. Awesome video. Thanks.
Thank you very much
You can make tool trays, out of the kitchen organizer trays fromm your local dollar store! For knives, forks & spoons ,etc... They aren't always the perfect size, for big tools, but usually work good enough! Plus they cost $1.00
That's a great idea
@@FishinNStuff They work... but since they are'nt designed for a tool box drawer. They often use 3/4 of the drawer space. And you have some left over room!
BEST counting I ever seen! Got my sub on the first video.
Thank you very much lol 😆 I really do appreciate that by the way
Nice 👍
I use the metal plyer rack for pistol storage in my gun safe. works pretty well.
That's a really good idea . I've seen some like that at Palmetto state armory . But the Harbor Freight Racks are much cheaper .
Great info. 😊😊
Yeah thats some pretty cool stuff
great video. i don't have the "organization" gene, so your ideas will be helpful. i know what you're sayin', you know what i'm sayin'? 😀
