I have the same box, but I'm so disorganized that I have to have three of every tool just to find one, somewhere in my shop, seldom in the box, and with hours wasted. This video was VERY motivational, telling me that these boxes have plenty of room for a really complete setup. THANK YOU!

Glad to help! The best thing to do is empty it completely and re-fill it and when it’s full find somewhere else for the access tools. I have a box where I keep extra stuff that way the main toolbox stays clean. And you have to develop the habit of putting everything back where it goes. That will help a lot

Use the big tool box for specialty tools. Use the small one for a service cart. I added a side box and used to build an oil change drawer, body panel work, and brake jobs drawer. Each task has its own drawer for easy access. Also, there is one for battery maintenance and testing. Shop tekton clearance page for bargains and build slowly. HF has power tool mag base and mine is mounted on the back, batteries in the bottom tray. Look for Gearwrench on sale and build quality to set slowly. TSC carries them.

As a mechanic I totally agree with all that you said, I used the same HF box for a few years and can’t say anything bad about it, I wouldn’t hesitate to buy it again even for everyday use. Also the bondhus Allens are fantastic, great video dude!

The last tool you showed at the very end of the video that you use to pull fuses is a chip puller. We used to use them to pull DIP (dual in-line pin) chips out of sockets on circuit boards. Those kind of chips aren't used much anymore, but you've found a new use for the tool. Nice. Also, old school Craftsman stuff is the best. I have the old ratchets, sockets, and wrenches myself. Great organization in the box. Nicely done.

Thanks for the video. The "mini" wrenches are called, ignition wrenches. Now days they are not used often but when distributors had points and a condenser, the ignition wires to coil, etc.. For flush cutters, quality matters when cutting through solid or 12, 10ga wire. For a hammer I highly recommend a Deadblow ball peen. Once you use one you will own one. I have truck brand tools from 40 plus years of wrenching professional. But for the avg home mechanic it is hard to justify the money. Those Tekton screwdrivers are some of the best I have used. They are a modified Snap On style handle but actually fit my hands better. I have tried a dozen of the new "ergonomic" styles but they just feel awkward to me. 100% on American made tools. 95% of my boxes are American made tools. Nice set up for what you need.

Yes highly recommend a couple of deadblow hammers! I agree once you've used one you'll want one. The nice thing is they don't bounce and transfer all of the energy to whatever you're hitting. Tekton has excellent deadblows (I think they're actually rebranded from "Trusty-Cook" brand, made in USA!) Definitely get at least one ballpeen and one regular soft-face polyurethane one. Harbor Freight's soft face deadblows aren't bad either if you want to save a few bucks. I'd go with a 39 or 45 oz soft face and a 26 or 36 oz ball peen type. Use the soft deadblow on anything you don't want to mar-it's way better than a rubber mallet that bounces off everything and doesn't have enough weight to it. And use the ball peen on anything that would mess up the soft-face one. I personally own a 45 oz soft, 36 oz ball peen, and a 21 oz soft face, and I think that's the perfect set for most home DIY and auto wrenching. Nice video otherwise!

I own a few more but very seldom use them. Those rubber mallets are only fit for body work really. They do very well by not marring the finish. Lol, if you do decide to use force and a hard object be prepared to duck the rebound. Stay strong brothers.

One fellow picked up a Husky drill storage for the side of his cart under the handle. He painted his to match. The drills, impacts fit into the recesses on top. The the batteries & chargers below. I’m going to add a side box from HF to mine. I’m making a bracket I will attach using the holes opposite the handle end. I’ll space it maybe 1/8” off the end using the 4 top holes and hang it from there. The side box is a few inches deeper than the actual cart. I think I might add some metal peg board on the backside. For things that are not real bulky. You just did a great job! Oh and the tool your grandfather gave you, I don’t know if it was originally for pulling fuses, it doesn’t matter because you have the perfect use for it now.

I use mine for an electric multi-meter, a 3/8" and 1/4" torque wrench (in the plastic cases), and caliper also in the case. Also, buy a roll of the HF drawer liner material and some spray adhesive and put a piece on the side table. I'll have to pick up a set of those Bondhus allen keys, love those. Overall, a great affordable set of tools that has all the essentials.

Damn I miss all those made in the USA tools! Starting over now is tough and the best value one can find is mainly Taiwanese made tools. USA first if you can access and afford them. Kobalt, like Husky, went cheap. No long USA or Taiwanese sourced. It's all made in India! They went from Taiwan, to China, to India! But the pricing didn't come down. Might as well buy HF Pittsburgh!

Look up harbor freight 5 drawer toolbox. Mins is a couple inches taller because I changed out the castors

0:30... Well, it's the cheapest GOOD tool box you can get... you can get cheaper tool boxes but they're crap 3:21.. it's a Vessel (pronounced Bessel) Impacta impact driver.. there is a spring mechanism in there that turns the screw when you hit it (Impacta 🤔) with a hammer on the ass end 10:20... made in the exact same facility as Harbor Freights torque wrenches they're actually pretty good

Great video! Why do you prefer old craftsman tools? Ratchets especially . I was always told never to use them because they were made cheap.

the old craftsman tools are made in the US and are good quality, but like most tool companies they have now outsourced to china... the old ones are good though they feel nice and solid0. i have a couple from the 80s that are still perfectly good

I went with the 5" polyurethane castors from home depot as they are much better quality then harbor freight. They also set the box a little bit higher which I like

Does your lid close all the way? My Icon screwdriver set is a bit too tall to allow the lid to fully close

Yes it does. The tekton brand screwdrivers fit perfectly as well as the smaller pry bars.

Does the side shelf / table fold down? It looks like it’s hinged on the top.

Yep!! I keep it up most of the time and use it to hold stuff I’m working on but it folds down for transport and to take up less space in the shop!

THANKS for the video Man! Nice set up…. Question, how did you remove the U.S. GENERAL decal from the lid and the emblem from underneath the drawers and did it leave scratches, marks or remove the paint? Once removing the decal on the lid, can you tell the decal was there from a side view? PLEASE! 💯

@therowdyz

Жыл бұрын

Thanks man, the trick is to use a plastic razor blade to remove the sticker, then the residue left behind you have to just rub really hard with your thumb and it will come off perfectly with no scratches. You cant even tell they were ever there!

@@jorgea.cuevas5452 possibly but you might bend it... I would use some fishing line or dental floss to go behind the emblem and basically saw it back and forth to cut thru the adhesive. then use the scaper for the leftover residue

Did you upgrade the casters?

@therowdyz

Жыл бұрын

i did, they originally come with 2 locking ones and 2 non swivel, non locking ones. i replaced all four with heavier duty locking swivel castors from home depot. much better quality then harbor freight

What are those casters that you have on there? They don't look like the stock ones.

I wouldn't keep power tools out in the open, especially if you don't want dust and debris collecting up inside of them.

Does the top have to be opened to pull out the drawers?

@therowdyz

2 жыл бұрын

Yes it does. But you can actually remove the linkage inside the box to allow it to open when the top is closed but i didnt do that because then you cant lock the drawers. pros and cons to both i suppose.

The Snap-On Flank Drive Plus screw drivers grab onto the JIS screws perfectly. Never needed to buy a JIS screwdriver. Not saying you should since you are on a budget, and my screwdriver set costs more than your box, but still, nice thing to grab if you ever get the chance.
