Enjoyed this box tour alot more than the normal ones I see on here .Love the fact you kept your dad's box and tools .I did the same with mine . Also have the same socket trays you have in your cart .Love those , great price amazing quality . Awesome video man , well done .
Thank you, yes no show collector stuff here. On the job everyday. I try to stay clean and organized but the tools make me my living. I do take care of them and am proud of them but they are used and worked.
I really like your set up. Expensive stuff where you need it. Less expensive stuff where you don't. All looks used but well taken care of. Also, your dad's old box is awesome. Yeah, it's not much different than the one you bought, but there's just something about Dad or Grandpa's old tools.
Agreed, I was in his shop with him when he bought it. Was the first bigger box sold in our hometown. My box is not an anniversary edition but I put some vinyl and pinstripes on it in places to make them match more. I would sell mine before I sold his
Great tool box tour! One thing I have...that I haven't seen , is an oil filter cutter? Have a potential mechanical engine problem? Let's see what the filter says.... obviously a broken valve spring will not show. I use my filter cutters 3-6 times a year.
Pretty cool. I have my fathers kr1000 as well. He bought it brand new in 1990 if i recall. Top and bottom. And a kr1000 bottom and side cab sitting next to it he bought a few years ago. He passed away back in February. The original box he bought new will go to my son when he is old enough to use them. I have my own tools and boxes and i have all my grandfathers tools and box. Multiple generations of auto and heavy truck mechanics.
As a guy that does diesel, structural steel and earthmoving even after only 5 or 6 years my gear is all dinged and scratched up, some discolored from heat or with spatter or grind-off marks, everything plastic or rubber is faded, stained or rubbed down from cleaning off grease, chemset and so forth. Not even all from the job so much; but when your tools follow you in the truck they take a beating all down the road, or when you chuck them in a bucket together and climb 10 storeys, or when you throw them in a loader bucket and they go for a bouncy ride, that'll wear tools faster than you or I can. Anyway great set-up you've got, appreciated.
Thanks, road service and field service is always tough on the tools as well as being tough on the guy using them. Major respect to you guys who do that kind of work everyday!
The thing is... Snap On tools aren't physically stronger than generic brand tools. I learned that early in my career. I broke a Snap On socket on a Honda B16 head studs. That's pathetic. Snap On aren't invincible like everyone says. I've yet to break any Taiwan tools, and I'm not saying they're superior. What I am saying is, it's like playing the lottery. The only reason Snap On and Matco cost more is because they deliver as-needed to shops, and they're made in the US (cost greatly increased).
I have OCD and love watching tool box tours but yours is the first that looks like a real technicians. I have my grandfathers KRA-300 toolbox and my fathers KR560 & K537 boxes still that I will never get rid of when though they’re not ideal anymore.
The best tool box tour I have ever seen. You cant ever replace sentimental. Pops tools are so special. I just purchased a Mr. Big and I am proud to own that after 45 years of being a heavy truck mechanic. It was my dream box. I am to old to buy this but my love for mechanic work is still my passion. Yes I also love tools. With all that said I think your boxes are much better than any shiny box, including my own. Really like the overheads you made. Just a pleasure to watch this.
Great to see the older boxes I started in my dads kr1000 I have it as the home box now nice set up though good to see tools that are used not just cleaned up and pretty
I have been at it for 44 years I have 2 of those kra 1000 tool box’s also had them for 33 years it is great to see some one that is crazy about their tools too it was great to see your tools keep it I am 65 years old and still doing it and going to for 2 more years and then going to retire and work in my shop at home I have worked at a dealership for 45 years and would do it all over again the same way I work on 18 Welles’s all my adult life
My buddy John has the same box, I always liked it. I wish Snap On would make that one again. I wish they would make a lot if the classics again. Especially the small six draw side caddy with the drop front, now that little box was cool.
Been a technician for 30 years and my boxes are units made in 98. Now way would I pay what new boxes are going for today. Plenty of clean used Matco, SnapOn, and Mac boxes on Facebook Marketplace and other sites. Let someone else pay the depreciation on new boxes. I’ll spend the difference on things that appreciate in value. I worked for Toyota dealers for about 10 years before I went to independent import shops.
I love your set up! I really like how your toolboxs are old school. My home toolbox is a old Waterloo bottom and old Waterloo made NAPA branded top full of my Automotive tools. Then I also a smaller black Taskforce usa made toolbox that is becoming my woodworking box as I use that stuff alot and like having a dedicated box for both my hobbies. I really like your rollcart as well. I wanna get a small basic roll cart for my DIY use.
Yes, I have had many other boxes over the years but I always get back to my original Snap On. When my Pops retired and gave me his box that's when I decided to just use these from then on
I have never seen a more complete tool box in my life. And I am a lot older than you. Quite an investment there. My guess is that you would have somewhere in the neighborhood of $100,000 in tools. Am I close?
Thanks for the compliment. I have to do an updated video soon as I have moved and since added to my workstation. But yes your assumption is close to correct.
Yeah I got tools in my box at work that I ain’t got use for them anymore but my papa gave them to me and I can’t get rid of them and box i use is one my dad gave me it’s a old snap on master series
Toyota tech, so you use a lot of 10, 12 and 14mm then? Lovely to see a set up that has been honed over decades. I like the big clock and the big screen. I also love the home made hutches, super cool. Not often you see a tool box tour without Knipex, or did I miss them?
I have dedicated drawer section dividers. I know the tool trucks have them for specific boxes but these I got at a flea market cheap. I have also used plano plastic storage boxes with the lids removed, they are sectional and can be moved around. As for my plano boxes I have, I stack them on the side of my hutch and have them labeled for what is in them
Used 1/2 white pre cut from Home Depot Melamine shelving and a 1/2 plywood backing, cut it all to length and then screwed it together, painted it a krylon red and used aluminum trim for the front edges. Some lights and pegboard and I am all in at about 90 bucks for both
@@behindthewrench9239 , okay. Its a good way to bring people to your YT channel and I was going to try and help promote your channel.. Thanks brother, stay safe 👍
Incredible box. I am glad the algorithm sent me this video. I have a long way to go to get to that level.
One of my favorite tours I’ve seen. Thanks for the share.

Nice to see a tool box that works , I have been a tech for 20years glad to see a real box not a show box

Very nice setup. Nice to see a working man’s box. Too many show boxes.
Yes, not a collector here, I see too many of those that I always ask do these guys even workk?
I have OCD and love watching tool box tours but yours is the first that looks like a real technicians. I have my grandfathers KRA-300 toolbox and my fathers KR560 & K537 boxes still that I will never get rid of when though they’re not ideal anymore.
Always keep the classics. In my humble opinion I think the older 80's 90's boxes are built way better than the new ones.

I feel you Tony, Good luck in retirement brother
Very impressive 👏 love the set well organized I'm 16 year's in the trade only gotta another 16 to catch up
Good video, I enjoyed it,. I used to be a Toyota MDT myself. I left and went to diesel/fleet service and repair. I would never go back.
That is very nice I got had the same drawer liner and had the snap on man get me a set of new liners what a difference.
Wow love your organization should do a video on how u keep it so organized
Thanks I am having other people request videos so I may start making some.
My buddy John has the same box, I always liked it. I wish Snap On would make that one again. I wish they would make a lot if the classics again. Especially the small six draw side caddy with the drop front, now that little box was cool.
Good video...
Wish I still had my original SnapOn box...👍👍
Awesome Bro, you are a real Working Hero 👏✌️🇺🇸
Thank you

Awsome toolbox
Thank You
Great selection of tools you have their loads of vintage tools
I do have stuff from when I was young but I still use it everyday. Just shows how long the good stuff last and even when used everyday.
@@behindthewrench9239 shows the quality of older tools 👍🇨🇦
@@behindthewrench9239 if you like vintage tools take a look at some of my videos i have loads of them

@@behindthewrench9239 I don't blame you 1 bit. There's a soul in these old boxes that new ones will never have.
This guy knows his box like the back of his hand. I like that. True pro.

Damn hella tools
good stuff, would be cool to see what your top 10 tools are and why
Arturo thanks, might have to do a video for that. Never thought about the top 10
Toyota tech, so you use a lot of 10, 12 and 14mm then?
Lovely to see a set up that has been honed over decades.
I like the big clock and the big screen. I also love the home made hutches, super cool.
Not often you see a tool box tour without Knipex, or did I miss them?
I have a couple of them, never been a big Knipex buy. I know they are very good pliers just always used several different brands.
Where did you get the misc trays in the drawers? Thanks for the video, especially the shout out to your pops.
I found them at a flea market locally but I know they sell them on amazon and also Harbor Freight carries them
Great video. What brand of sockets are the extra long ones in your 1/4 drive drawer??? The chrome ones in the center.
Alex it is a set of Matco's runs from 7 - 15 have been super used
For your nut and bolt organization what would you recommend? You know the odds and ends pieces?
I have dedicated drawer section dividers. I know the tool trucks have them for specific boxes but these I got at a flea market cheap. I have also used plano plastic storage boxes with the lids removed, they are sectional and can be moved around. As for my plano boxes I have, I stack them on the side of my hutch and have them labeled for what is in them
I use old oil filter boxes in my junk drawer and in my cart I have the same harbor freight tray set
What type of fan is that???
It is a squirrel cage from Astro, got it from the Gearwrench guy, Works great
how did you build your hutchs
Used 1/2 white pre cut from Home Depot Melamine shelving and a 1/2 plywood backing, cut it all to length and then screwed it together, painted it a krylon red and used aluminum trim for the front edges. Some lights and pegboard and I am all in at about 90 bucks for both
Where did you get your wrench organizers???????
The wrench organizers are from Snap On they are plastic wrench rails. You can also get them from amazon and some other places as well.
