Porsche Crest Show us your toolbox...



I've been doing this for many yrs and my toolbox is still a mess. Would some of you "Technical" folks show us your toolbox?

It was my New Year's Resolution to get mine organized. Its now April and I need some ideas.

Thanks,

Len

Porsche Crest


I really don't care how big it is, what I want to see is the "layout" of tools.
Show how its organized.
Do you have sockets up on top or in a deep drawer down low?
Etc........

back on topic...

I separate wrenches from sockets & keep different drive sockets in different drawers

some sockets are on those little pole organizers on top - others in a drawer

Top Drawer = pliers, cutters & crap
Drawer 2 = screwdrivers, bits, hex drivers, allen keys
D3 3/8 drive, 1/4 drive - sockets on rails but rails are loose in drawer
D4 - wrenches
D5 - 1/2 drive & a few misc. items
BIG BOttom Drawer - big stuff

it's really all up to you how ya wanna do it

the magnetic socket holders are nice too

I've hanged all my tools on the wall. I don't know, I find it easier and tidier like this.

considering the level of gun ownership on this bbs, you'd have to be pretty stoopid to break in...

Cool My toolbox............

Here are a couple of pics of my toolbox and little shop. It's not much, but it's home!









In addition to car work, my shop is set up for the occasional wood working project and for reloading. (What RWebb said!)

Yeah, especially if no one is home....

They'll just take your guns too. I don't have any tools.

I can just make out the embossed AMEX card number with my image enhancement tools -- but not the other cards. Can you post a better shot for those?

That toolbox (assuming it is filled with tools) is worth more than most cars...easily $70k or more.
