OK. Really did laugh out loud about the metric adjustable wrench. Mostly the delivery, but also fond memories of sending someone back a couple of time to get the metric adjustable.

You’re f***ing funny. I need to see what your rigs look like that you need all of this gear for.

I carry roughly 140lbs of tools in my truck plus a lunch box welder and 80lbs of spare parts in case some brakes. This guys is just getting started

Along with a coat hanger, I also keep a roll of coated soft wire in my gear too. It's saved me many times.

This man will be set for a apocalypse

I have a couple of different things in mine . It’s more of a survivalist box ! I added a 22 cal. AR-7 and ammo , tarp , knife , road flares , bungees and a couple of MRE’s I don’t have rubber hose or pullers or more then 4 screwdrivers and i almost forgot in each vehicle I have blankets and a tarp ( orange ) and some MRE’s and water . Same box and mine weighs 60 lbs ! Must be those Canadian tools weight more or something, when are you EVER going to use all those small size sockets ? NEVER ! Everything else is great 👍. You know if you live in the north woods anything can happen ! Except maybe running over a crocodile ! Lol. But I did hit a bear once ! SKOL BUD !

I"m sure the SnapOn truck wanted $50 for the divider up top. But you do get a lifetime warranty. I bet the free HF voltmeter was even more expensive as you can't get out of HF without spending a benjamin $. The metric adjustable wrench/hammer is a must. If you flip it over it'll do SAE sizes.

Can I just come over and hang out in the garage?

I'm got the same toolbox, and do mobile mechanic jobs everyday, I'm going to have to do a video like this.

I felt like I was watching The Red green Show. I am so tempted to pick up that style tool box and then I keep asking myself do I really need it but man I sure want it

In the tool box and tote I travel with I keep each of the rolls of tape in a zip lock sandwich bag, they don't dry out and last forever. A straight cut avaition snip has all sorts of uses, trimming fingernails, turning a beer cans into shims, or the box into a gasket, cutting harvest info on your deer tag, A $15 eBay 12 volt fuel pump works well with that spare gas line. Using a small soft aluminum tube I salvaged off some dead refrigeration equipment, , maby 3 feet long, I have been able to bypass the roll over valve in a gas tank and pump out gas out of a donor car.. With that I keep a brand new, never used 2 gal plastic gas tank full of water. Fill up a radiator, or drink it if thirsty enough. Beware though, the women will never go for that, the simply can not be convinced it is fresh water. She will think you are trying to kill her, don't ask. Dump the water out if you need gasoline. I relpace the adjustment bolt on the vice grips with a eye bolt. Instant anchor point and it is easier to tork down on. A harbor freight moving blanket.lines the trunk. It beats working on the dirt, and can even be used as a blanket. Also from HF I have a small flash light with a powerfull magnetic base. Taped to a stick it is a magnetic pickup tool. I find a 15 foot length of 12 gauge house wire very useful . With hose clamps and vice grips it is jumper cables, it can tie down a load, or trunk or hood , can be used to tow a stuck car a short distance, , Strip the plastic and tie up a muffler, or open a car door when the keys are locked in it. It makes a good third hand to hold a flashlight or something, I use a single insulated wire to organize my sockets fish stringer style. I also spray paint each stringer a different color, ie red is 1/2 inch drive SAE, green is 3/8 drive metric ect. I do the same with the wrenches. It is a functional emergency dog leash. All this takes up very little space and weighs almost nothing .

Man, this is the kit! I thought I was the tool kit guy, but this is awesome! I upgraded to an old 6 drawer military surplus general mechanics tool kit from a Kobalt plastic 3 drawer box that weighed about as much as yours.

Thanks for measuring the box, this side of pond they come in slightly different sizes. Steel strap is fucking amazing for everything. Same goes for files.

Man, this was just like going through my own road box! In my main truck, I had enough room to carry a cheap 700 watt inverter under the seat and one of those small 3 gallon air compressors from Harbor Freight in the tool box. Takes a while, but helps a lot if you are miles from your main air compressor and need to air up a flat tire on a trailer, for example. Just pop the hood and run it straight off the truck battery.

Just got the craftsman box with tools. I'm going to put handles on the sides. Tough because its double walled with 1/2" gap and not a lot of space between the rails inside. I took a set of heavy handles off a Harbor Freight 26" US General to;p box. Nice handles. The Craftsman box is nice for the money, the set of tools with it is probably a $80 set at best. Its got all 3 size drives, but too many 12pt 1/2 sockets and tiny wrenches. Other than that, the box allows tons of room to add tools.

I call it junkyard box for going to salvage yard

Gawd lee I came here to get an idea of how to NEATLY organize the little tools that I have but this looks like a game of eye spy, but hey if it works for you go for it

Great video thank you!

I have the newer version of the box, it literally just has black badges instead of chrome. I go for organization, but I have a separate bag with my impact and driver, and another bag with some spare bulbs, bungee cords, and soon to be 850 zip ties

Exactly what is the purpose of the all the tools in your tool box? If you are a mobile auto shop, well then, you probably got it covered; however, if you are trying to compile a "basic" car repair tool kit, what you showed, IMO is overkill. For example, some of the tasks mentioned (i.e. tire bead seating, etc.) shoud be left to a tire shop. My son and I took a 1994 Buick with 200,000 miles on the odometer on a 2,000 mile road trip and we got by with a fraction of the tools you showed. Sure, having a needed tool is nice, but yikes. Just my two-cents.

Talk about overkill!

If I have to carry 78 lbs of tools on a road trip, I might just rent a car. Unless you absolutely want to go with your own car, I would check to make sure my car is good before going on a trip. The other reason people need all these tools may be some long haul truckers, or someone like that.
