First new tool box since '67...

Nice tool storage there. Like the deep drawers, and the long center drawers too. A lot of my larger tools (like the 36" precision straight edge) are hanging on the wall.
Had to check out the specs on it, over 600 pounds empty!

Had this one since '63

Then I bought this one used from the Cornwall Tools salesman in '66 and it's been in the back of my hemi-powered sedan for better than 52 years.

Then a couple of Craftsman roll-aways with an intermediate box and top boxes in '78.

Next came the blue Cornwell box and side cabinet on the right side of the picture in 2005. Then I got two more Snap-on roll-aways with MAC top boxes and a side cabinet (used) in 2007.

Another used Snap-on roll-away came a couple of years later and I ran out of floor space to put the boxes so the rest of the stuff went on shelves, It's too clumsy to put in tool boxes anyway.

This is ONLY my automotive tool storage. I have more tool boxes for all of my electrical equipment but most of those cases are in my '08 Magnum along with all of my wiring supplies.

You can never have enough tools.

Oh yeah, I forgot this one. Bought it new just before the Wuhan Flu pandemic.

Got a couple of el-cheapo boxes in the basement of my home for my carpentry and plumbing tools, too.

I've owned all of those boxes, I got a 54 inch Chinese Torin top for 200 on marketplace, and a 54 inch Husky bottom for 200 on Craigslist. I have acquired many many quality Snap-on, Mac and Matco tools. I also am considering a bigger box but I've never justified the Snap-on price for a box! But one thing I've learned BEFORE talking myself into a purchase, I get rid of the things in my box that REALLY don't need to be in there...lol

I never throw anything away if it's the least bit useful. People are always coming to me to borrow tools I've had for decades, like that K-D lifter removal tool from another post.

three year old pic, Not enough space for more so I used one of the other boxes.

Hunting for the right tool is no problem. Everything's where it belongs.

Some of the foam tool liners and organizer can get expensive too.

My grandfather was a car manufacturer back just after the turn of the last century.. I STILL have three of his old wooden tool chests and a lot of the tools inside.

By the way, I have the original litho-plate that his original photo was generated from in the Standard Catalogue of American Automobiles in my book case.
