What do you do when you can't put all your tools away?

I just wait until im sobered up and put them away then.

Nice box Greg, I was looking them over not too long ago. they sure have come a long way in the residential side of the industry with tool boxes. I keep thinking I need more storage because mine is full too. I dont have a good pic of it but you can see it behind the fender hanging.

Tool box who needs a tool box?

You hang them on the wall so you can see them from across the room so you aren't looking for them.

Ya that.

NOt a big fan of boxes, but that is a nice one. They are good if you don't have the wall space.

my gpa used to own/run the Arizona Motel in South Tucson, had a whole wall of tools hanging, each tool had an outline on the wall as to exactly where it was supposed to go. it was really funny...

And that story about the kid coming to trade out your sockets... LMAO!!! haha little pecker head!

My dad's socket sets have gotten kinda sparse over the last few years, between my brother, me, my cousin, and him working on too many projects in too many places, stuff goes away inexplicably... it sucks!

I've thought about buying a box, as the only one I have is a small little 4 drawer crafstman that you can carry around.

After looking though I think I'd probably just buy one off of craigslist, as once in a while they'll have one full of tools that you can buy cheaper than the box by itself.

I just sold my old box off of craigslist, about 5 minutes ago.

what'd you get out of it greg? was it just the bare box I assume? or did it come with any tools?

I've occasionally seen fairly decent boxes, full of craftsman/snap-on etc tools, going for the same price as just the box costs new. Someones husband dies or whatever, and theyre just getting rid of it all.

When I'm not pouring my money into sheers, brakes and punch presses I think I'm going to look for something like that.

Pretty soon this shop needs to start making ME some money

I've had it about 2 years, got offered $175 and took it. First guy that showed up, I just posted it this AM. I paid 260 for the 3 cabinets new. No tools went with it, they are all in the new chest.
