Shall we have a show your tool boxes thread?

[bmwrd0]

Here are my three main working setups

the Kennedy stack is the main place to keep things like pullers, screwdrivers, meters, etc. I made one modification to it, I changed two of the small thin drawers to a deeper one, on the left side. This makes it perfect for me, as I can keep a 1/4" socket set handy.

the top is an old Gerstner I found in an antique shop, while the roller is a Gerstner International I picked up of eBay when visiting my fathers widow. This holds most of my machinist tools.

This is the setup I had on the back of the table I had my South Bend on. The Gerstner is one I restored (and put up a thread on it here on an older version of the site), while it sits on a cash-drawer safe. Mostly stuff I need for the lathe, but some longer tools than the other machinist set up.

All of this stuff I picked up cheap at garage sale and flea markets. Amazing what you can find.

Over the past 60 years I've been acquiring tool boxes of different brands and sizes. My latest acquisitions are two mechanics boxes from RollCabs.com. Who also market under the name Extreme Tools. Their quality matches SnapOn. One is a 72" by 25" deep top & bottom combo unit pictured below. Plus a peek inside...











RoolCab.com 55" by 25" roller cabinet. I keep MT40 collet sets, Kennametal (Erickson) extension  & collets, mostly for my CNC Bed Mill. Plus miscellaneous end mills, drill bits, lathe bits I've collected over the years...









I have a number of Kennedy roller cabinets. First one is a lower and upper mechanics box. With a smaller one hung off lower box.   



Another Kennedy mechanics combo set is the same as above with a side box also mounted on the lower box. Along with a small Waterloo attached to the top box.



A Kennedy roller mechanics box that has a 2" thick steel plate on it.. That has misc tooling inside.


There's a Kennedy mechanics mid box that's smooth red. That has a Four drawer Craftsman on top 



A second Kennedy box as above located in the basement of my larger motorhome..



Here's a Waterloo mechanics combo set. It has roller bearing full extension slides plus latch drawer locks. I have SAE tools in the left section Top & Bottom, And Metric in the right side.. I purchase it 25 years ago. It was one of the last boxes made in the USA by Waterloo. They produced the Craftsman line for Sears and Roebucks  Along side of it is a Craftsman mechanics three-piece combo set that I purchased 60 years ago..



There are two Craftsman roller cabinets in my shop area. Once Red that I painter both blue.. I keep accessories for my cutter grinder in one. The other I keep my home made precision vices., along with other precision tooling.
 






There are two Horrible Freight narrow roller cabinets. Once again I painted them blue. My larger Ultra-Sonic cleaner sits on top of one. While the other is loaded with hundreds of drill bits up 2" diameter..







 There are two Horrible Freight roller carts. One I painted blue. They are handy to put tools on when working under my auto lifts. 





Then there is a no name combo roller set that came along with the ride of other items I purchased..



I have one Snap-On combo mechanics roller tool cabinets. Plus one antique roller cabinet,,  that I haven't got around to refurbish..



Most the tools in them are Snap-On. And are Metric, SAE, plus some UK Whitworth.







Then I have a nice collection of Gerstner wood machinist boxes. That I store all my precision machinist tools that I have aquired over the past 65 years. Gerstner is recognized as the top machinist tool chests manufacturer. Founded in 1906,, still family owned and continuously manufactured in Dayton Ohio. They do sell a more affordable imported wood chests named International series.. Though the quality falls short of the Dayton made chests...

Three Oak Gerstner Journeyman's 2610.. That's 26" wide with 10 drawers.



Pro Series four-piece Cherry combo set commemorating their 100th Anniversary. Identified with a round cast medallion. Consisting 2613 Top Chest, B1705 Base, B2903 Riser, and R3005 Roller Cabinet. Of course I purchased them in 2006...


Small Gerstner Oak International Drawer Chest. It's mounted to the wall next to my work station. That I keep keys in.

Here is my work set-up. The orange box I got off of fatfillup close to 15 yrs ago I'd say. 

If you want I can give you the tour?
