I just want to make this clear. We. Do. Not. Care. How long tool box tour videos are we are usually at our tool box re arranging things as we watch lol. The longer the better. Keep it up man.
Haha, thanks very much Richie!
Richie is so right haha. I always listen to toolbox tours while rearranging mine all the time
This also goes for any video or podcast lol
It’s funny how USA Craftsman went from being homeowner grade to lower-end professional/collector-user grade nowadays. Good stuff
Very true Jack! Thanks!
I agree, Jack. Some years back I would eyeball a Craftsman MM Combo wrench set (at one of our other stores. Carquest.) but would never purchase them.
When I found out our SEARS was being closed and Craftsman would no longer be made here in the US, I bought them right away.
Like I said, didnt need them, but had to have them for sentimental reasons. The last USA made Craftsman I would ever be able to buy. So glad I did. 🇺🇸
I know many people think red tool chests are old-school but that red w/silver Icon chest is gorgeous and would be my color pick!
Yeah Dave, Red or Orange for me. :)
Hard to be in a bad mood watching your videos! Thanks
Glad to hear it!
Excellent tool box tour. The Icon is just wow, capacity for everything, interesting to see your tools & what gets used.👍
Thank you! I really like the box!
Agree with u bro as long as the box satisfies u what people think really doesn't matter👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿👏🏿
Thanks very much!
Appreciate you taking the time doing this video. I enjoyed it.
Appreciate that Scott!
Another awesome tour Jimmy.
Like said, that box is sweet.
Thank you Wolley!
One of the most comprehensive box tours on the tube I love the detail some people just care about the tools and what brand I personally like the detail planning on doing my service truck when I get the time I just love these tours idk why maybe bc I get good ideas and some tools I could use I may not know exist
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it! :)
Cool, have been wanting a icon bottom box and top box for larger cases and some pry bars. Great tour thank you
Thank you for watching and leaving a comment!
It don't matter what people think they not paying for your tools. As long they get job done and you like them all that matters
Very true! Thank you!
@@JimmyMakingitwork your welcome.
Thanks for the toolbox tour jimmy
Thank you Ragin!!!
Good Morning Jimmy & thank you for the video!
My pleasure!! Thank you Alfred!
I was going to release on the 1st, but changed it with Thursdays video instead. Lots of people asking about it. :)
Cool. I have the US General 26" top box for DIY and it is excellent.
Very cool!
Thanks was looking forward to this. Just bought a toolbox myself, not organised yet just gathering all my tools to put in there at the moment. need to move closer to the door for easy access
Awesome James, hope it helps a little.
Great tool box tour. I have those same stubby wrenches. I got them through ATD years ago.
Enjoy your videos keep up the good work!
Thanks very much Michael!
Awesome video, and I agree, the haters have nothing better to do. My tools are a collection of 50 years ago (dayton) to purchased yesterday, (HFT). I value each and everyone and am happy to please myself above all others. Keep up the great work..........amen
Very good to hear Joe! Everyone is on their own journey and there is no right and wrong, only what we each decided.
"LIKE" button has been torqued to the manufacturer's recommended specification. "CLICK". Jimmy, Glad to see that your ICON Tool boxes are serving your needs so effectively. Thanks for sharing all of the tools you have there with a couple of thousand of us faceless strangers. Talk about opening one's kimono !
Great video, excellent content. I enjoyed every second of it.
Thanks for that! Much appreciated my friend!
Jimmy, those greenish pliers in your pliers drawer are Channellock brand. I paused the video & zoomed in, sure enough, you can read it on the 90° needle nose.
Then I looked at a 30year old set of Channellock pliers my father gave me- same greenish worn out color.
Oh cool, thanks Ian, my old eyes missed it, haha.
I worked for pep boys in 2007 lol I still have the brake measure tool
Ahhh memories. :)
Good to see a vid of a long term tour / review.
Most the comments on icon I see are either blind hate or people that are straight up shills.
Yeah, very true from most of what I’ve seen. I think many just repeat what others said without any real experience themselves. All too common online.
The old saying the tool box doesn't make the tech . Tell the young guys in the shop all the time. Nothing wrong with harbor freight or general when starting out. If they leave the business they have a decent home box . And don't owe the tool truck thousands
Exactly! :)
Jimmy, I am a new subscriber friend. After recovering from nearly having my leg crushed off getting hit while on my 1957 Harley I decided I wanted to spend the rest of my life doing what I like. I went to many years of school to get a PhD in chemical engineering but the field has gotten very strange with vaccines that are not vaccines and fake oil and diesel shortages.I originally went to pharmacy school and then went into pharmaceuticals. I have now started a small engine repair business and specialize in engine drive welders, construction equipment, and landscaping equipment. I hope I have the array of tools that I can pass down to my children. I am up in Pa right now but I can't wait to come back down to the warmth and beauty of Florida. I went to school at University of South Florida.
Nice, good for you John! Love the weather here, just not the traffic and crazy drivers seem to be on the rise.
A lot of guys with SnapOn boxes hate because it helps them justify paying far too much for the same quality box. I get it. But until you've seen one of these Icon boxes in person, you really can't judge. Ultimately, tools inside the box and your skills and knowledge make you money, not the box their kept in.
Agree 100%!
You can get a boat load of tool truck quality at the Freight now. This master techs box is pro all the way
He is absolutely right about how professionals thought of USA Craftsman in the 80's 90's.
I have the ICON 56" Toolbox in red and it is built like a tank. Weight almost 650 lbs empty. I couldn't be happier
Don’t you know, the more expensive boxes make you a better mechtech?!
Awesome tool box tour
Thank you very much!
Tuesday morning Jimmy. Cool tool box tour nice cool tools to get the job done nice myself I'm trying to lighting the load in my toolbox I find myself not needing all the tools I thought I would need taking up space ain't using trying to sell a few of them myself ain't no one biting yet though I guess they want you to give them away for practically nothing or maybe it's the economy anyways Jim thanks for the video cool as always
Yeah, many will only buy if they feel like your allowing them to steal it. That’s why I kept some of my Snap On stuff, it holds almost no real value. Which to me means anything less than half, I’ll just keep it around.
Thank you Jim!
Hey. I just saw my missing 10 mm socket!
lol
Great tour Jimmy !
Thank you very much Steve!
If you didn't get that blow modeled case replaced, I'd recommend adding some hinges with Tri-Grip / trifold rivets. May not have the looks, but at least it'll save you from dumping everything on the floor again. You can use the same technique to add some latches should those plastic ones break.
Good idea Wayne, thanks!
Beautiful beautiful box and collection! It’s got a story behind it which is always really neat! Rock on Jimmy! Have you seen how to tension the slides on your tool box…? If not it’s a really neat feature it’s got this button that rotates clockwise and counter clockwise to tension the slides on your drawer to tighter or looser. Check it out if you haven’t! Have a blessed day making it work!
Yes I have, works ok. A little quirky and feels different from drawer to drawer. But it works based on weight I think.
Do like the box though!
Box looks good Jimmy. I added a few items I saw to my want list. You have lots of cool miscellaneous stuff that you can only acquire over 40 years as a tech. Cool to see that stuff. Hope your doing well in the Florida sun! lol.
Cool, thanks Rob! Using those ICON hammers every day and really been great! Hope all is well! :)
@@JimmyMakingitwork awesome I'm glad to hear they are holding up. Hmm you sure you don't need snap on hammers? Lol.
Great tour Jimmy! Makes me want to buy some more wrenches that you've got and I don't. Lol! The sheer cost of this trade is crazy. I'm right there with ya man! 31 years for me now. Absolutely nothing wrong with buying other brands to save some cash. I've got a bunch of different brands in my box as well. Nice Icon box! Makes me wish I didn't spend the money on my Snap on masters series quite a while back. Keep up the cool videos! Peace out from western NV!
Thanks very much Mario! Remember there is nothing wrong with buying a Snap On tool box either, it's like Ferrari vs Corvette. :)
@@JimmyMakingitwork I have a snap on masters 72'' box and love my box! Is the ICON good? Yes! Also at the time i was looking a buying a box i looked at the ICON for me I wanted a snap on box! So its what you like
Master torqued to 763 CZcams foot pounds. Very impressive tour. A lot of very nice tools. Must keep the very old original tools acquired from many decades ago. Older tools have deep personal memories attached to them. Some reason or another I thought I was Subscribed on this channel, but I am now.
Thanks 👍 really appreciate that!
People's heads explode when a professional is using anything besides tool trucks but there's thousands of shops, not on youtube who use brands outside the trucks . My former shop, the owners always had SK, Snap On, Mac stop by but it was about personal preference purchases or specialty tools. Most guys did get the Snap On wrenches, maybe Ratchets , low profile, semi deeps and pliers but these days they started trying out other brands like Tekton because they often get warranties faster than the trucks
Quality is going up in Taiwan, more tools from Germany & Japan, it's making tool companies compete and evolve which is good for is all.
Facts are, the tool trucks are a preference not a necessity.
My local shops use air Ratchets, impacts & Sunex, Grey Pneumatic for the rough stuff and hand tools for the moderate . Break them loose & run them off .
Great stuff Jimmy
I believe those Green handled are SK
Awesome, thanks for the comment!!!
When I ran into a bad allen bolt I just pounded a torx bit into it and took it out that way.
That has worked many a time! Good point!
If i could get the Icon box in canada i would totally go that way! I have a snapon classic and from the box the locker and side cab i ordered had issues. From badly painted to not painted. To drawers not closing.
Its a nice box but for the price you pay i find they are going down with quality control.
Thanks Jimmy for all the awesome content you put out !!!!!!!!
Yeah, a couple of my coworkers had problems with theirs also. For the money should be flawless, agreed.
Thank you for the support!
Brilliant video...........I dread to think the value of all of that!
It is up there Dan! My nephew is becoming a truck driver and tells me he will soon make $25,000 more than what I average…maybe mechanics are under paid? Since his truck wouldn’t go without them? lol
I'll trade you locations, Jimmy. Here it's freezing rain and ice. 🙁
Lots of goodies in this video!
Thats cool you built the cluster on your build using led's.
👍👍
Wow, hope it warms up soon for you Biggie! I do miss cocoa with marshmallows, haha.
Almost 2 years 😳 dang I been watching you for awhile
Haha, time flys, thanks very much Ryan!
I remember back before he had it lol. Before the week in the shops even. I think Jimmy had about 200 subs when i followed. Still love the channel
To quote Jack Nicholson in a Few Good Men: YOU CAN'T HANDLE THE TRUTH! Pretty much a fact for many Snap-On owners.
lol, hard to spend so much money and then believe it wasn’t really necessary.
Tool box tour day……Torque the Like button!
Haha, thanks very much Scott!
Jimmy, one day you should make a video talking about where you've been at in your career! I've been watching your channel for about a year and i didn't know you ever worked at pep boys or the GM dealer til recently
I haven't done one in a while, but on my channels page there are categories for content, one is my car history and work history. Let me know in a separate comment if you can find it. I don't get notices for replays, only comments. :)
Nothing wrong with being a minimalist when buying tools as long as your happy!!
lol, truth.
@@JimmyMakingitwork Not saying that's what I like lol but I certainly can appreciate someone's honesty. Just quick note I noticed you made a statement about China steel in boxes snap-on still uses usa Virgin steel and there are many different grades of steel it's a interesting rabbit hole if you want to do some research on something I remember talking to the steel warehouse guys here some time ago and rolled steel and formed steel grades are all over the place. There's some interesting stuff to read on the interwebs not all toolsteel related but there's almost a dozen types of steel used in tool manufacturing. Tool steel makes great pew parts!! Enjoy your day buddy!!
Yeah CP, I have no idea if Snap On does or doesn’t. I know some US companies certainly use imported materials, loads of them. They all are pretty careful about it though, knowing the consequences.
I just wonder how there are delays of tools if no materials are imported. Almost all delays are due to slow imports.
I’ve tried “some” research on material imports, but not much conclusive info out there. I haven’t gone full Monk on it though, lol.
Steel grades, like aluminum and most metals are very involved for sure. When we made titanium parts we had access to grades starting at 7% titanium for RC car parts. It went up from there as did prices.
@@JimmyMakingitwork full monk that was a great show I preferd matlock!! Lol
I like those Icon tool boxes they’re really nice and seem to be built for the long run
All of mine have proven to be a good value!
Nice set up Jimmy, my craftsman grip latch does the same thing regarding full extension, give a little extra beans and out it comes. Just got the US General 5 drawer roll/service cart and love in green though because it’s definitely the fastest color ! Lol
Haha, sounds like a great set up Daniel!
@@JimmyMakingitwork typical, thought It’d be plenty big enough but I’ve out grown it, when I retire I’d love to build a garage or at the least a large shed and then I’ll step up to the US General 72” rig. I do enjoy watching your vids and when a pro has the same stuff I have it puts a smile on my face:)
One tool I’ve always wanted but can’t find is a mini line wrench for brake lines. Needed one for a 2005 Chevy truck brake line replacement. I got by without, but they would have been handy
Hmmm, Mini you mean like a 10mm stubby? You can use a flare nut crows foot like the ones from Sunex in my Amazon store. ;)
I just spent an hour at HF comparing the 56” USG and the 56” Icon. I concluded there are some significant differences when one starts looking close. I might make my first tool video on the differences.
Thanks for sharing, good idea!
I started with the same Craftsman 1/2" in ratchet that you opened the video with. It came with the tools I got when I was in auto shop in the mid 80s. When I graduated high school and went to work at the dealer I only had a JC Penny metric set of sockets and wrenches. My plan was to go to Sears and buy a set of metric tools. I got the same advice as you.... "get Snap On, the Craftsman is junk"! I bought a set of Snap On 3/8 shallow sockets, ratchet and a couple extensions. I just bought the impact sockets that I needed. For many years I only had two 1/2" ratchets as 3/8" is the most commonly used drive. I had the said 1/2" Craftsman and a long flex head New Britain made Matco. Fast forward to the early 2000s. I had to do rear brake pads on my 04 GMC 2500 pickup. The caliper bracket bolts were tight as hell. I couldn't get the impact gun in there. I didn't have the ultra long 0 deg box end wrenches. I put the Craftsman ratchet and a Snap On impact socket on the bolts. I used the floor jack on the ratchet to break the bolts loose. I figured if the ratchet blew up I could warranty it. It held up just fine and still worked great after. That yellow lock tight that GM uses is some tough stuff. Unfortunately that Craftsman ratchet was stolen along with my good tool box. Now my main 1/2" ratchet is a Stanley that was purchased at Walmart. Been a great ratchet.
Yeah, they have been good for me also, strong although maybe not the smoothest ever, they work and work well.
Loctite, ugh. Never saw one come loose, suddenly they’re all loctited. Smh
Basturd tool thieves got us both. Grrrr
That's a nice box. I don't have access to that one but I ended up getting the husky professional series box
They are good tool boxes also, good value.
Just FYI the ICON boxes in the store are set up not to open all the way for safety reasons. But I personally love the ICON line of boxes and tools. Nice tour Jimmy.
Oh really, I didn't notice that at the local HF store. Thanks
///nice setuo Jimmy
Thanks Mitch!
The one mistake i made is spending money on complete sets of snap on sae sockets. Probably got around $4k in them by the time you get shallow semi and deep in 1/4 3/8 and 1/2 chrome and impact. I honestly cant ever remember using any of them.
Yeah, that’s one of the things about some tools. Lower use, save some
Money if you can.
Astro pneumatic tools are awesome however my set of punches came with 2 of the small center punches. I emailed astro and confirmed my purchase well they sent me the wrong one! I contacted them as soon as I received it to let then kno and they told me that it was on back order. 8 months later and still haven't really it.. Other than that I like there tools and there prices are fair
Wow, that Is a tuff one. My Williams 3/8" extension set came with two 3" and no 4". I emailed them 4 times about it, never got a response.
Great box Sir and when you decide to retire you can sell it all and buy a small island 👍
That's the plan! Haha
Like your setup Jimmy 🤙🤙🤙
#truckclub
Thanks Theo! :)
#truckclub #suburban #pickup
i have Craftsman's i got in the late 80s early 90s. but i have to say the Icons are pretty good considering. back in the day all i got from HF was none mechanical or a ones and done type job. i did buy a 3ton jack from HF, still have it 25 year later, yes, it works. lol. Icon is the first tool set i'v bought in over 20 years and never from HF. u have to remember what HF is. its to help the poor boy out one time for cheap.
Oh yeah. Thanks Charles.
I guess I need to do a tool box tour now 🤔 Is the drill bit set Irwin? What a run down memory lane on some of that stuff. So you use the OTC cylinder leakage tester too?! I like it so much better. I want to know the numbers not just green; yellow, red. Great video brother.
Yeah man, do it!
Thanks very much!
My wife asked me what I wanted for my birthday a while ago and I told her I wanted some punches. She ordered me those same Astro punches. Thats a damn fine lady.
Keep for sure!!! :)
Hi Jimmy
I noticed a tin of crossman pellets in your box , shooting airguns is one of my hobbies also . Check out airarms and weihrauch for some of the best made and most beautiful guns available.
cool video by the way
Awesome, I have a lot of fun plinking. I have the Gamo Urban in .22 cal, fun rifle!
Those thread chasers are lang. Used to be kastar
Ahhh, yeah, that sounds familiar. Thanks.
Awesome tour, love the icon box. Have you got the epauto socket set with the icon ratchets yet?
No haven’t checked it out yet. Might try and get by my local HF soon though.
Hello again Jimmy
Thank you for another Great Video 👍 It seems like I am catching up on watching your videos lol 😆 Anyhow, you surprised me. Why do have a pair of safety wire pliers? Did the power tool rack come with the ICON? Final question, does the ICON come ready to attach the side boxes? Or do you have to figure that out? Again thank you 😊
I used to have a street legal race car that required some items to be safety wired for track use.
The ICON included a power drawer, with 110 and USB ports inside the drawer and at the front top of the box. It comes ready to attach with all mounting points ready to go, just add the component and use the included hardware to attach.
Thank you George!
@@JimmyMakingitwork Hello again Jimmy
The safety wire pliers are a common tool for Aircraft Mechanics, I didn't expect to see one in your tool box. That's good to know the box is ready for change. The Power tool rack is it part of the box or it something you found and install? Again thank you 😊
Hello again Jimmy
Thank you for the quick response. I didn't expect to see a pair of safety wire pliers in your tool box.
I don’t wear underwear. Can you please use an analogy that is more inclusive 😂
Ps I have tons of Snapon in a master box cuz i love my tools
But on the road I use mostly a Verity of tools I’m not scared to lose and what I found was they are counted on the most when I need them the most they are the most beat up tools and iv never had trade them out in 15 years.
But an old timer mentored me to always use the right tool for the job and that has stuck with me over the years.
Haha, very true!
I ordered the 73” bottom rolling ICON box, but am on the fence for the upper cabinet whether to get the hutch, nothing, or the top box. I would like the top box, but it seems really high for the top drawers. I’m 5’9” so I would likely need a small step to easily see in the top drawer. Do you find the height an issue? Harbor Freight has a Super Coupon for the top box that makes it appealing.
Right on, I like the top box. I keep a kitchen stool nearby and use the top drawers for rarely used tools. I got it shorter than the bottom to have a small work area. 73 and a 56 top.
Century Drill I beleive makes the blue box drill bit set. Irwin/Hanson makes Mac Drill Bits as they are owned by Stanley I Believe this is accurate info Jimmy
Thanks very much, I thought it might be Century. I bet when I bought those MAC bits it was before the merger, I bought them in 2007.
Maybe Stanley put that deal together even before then but nobody knew, I sure didn't, lol?
Ordered a red 73, hutch and locker today
Nice! I think you’ll like it a lot!
I'm pretty sure that drill bit box has intentions in it that says huot
Maybe, have to take a closer look. :)
What holder/organizer is that, in your driver/drill drawer?
That comes in the ICON tool box. Power drawer above it and tool holder in the bottom drawer.
Think the ball bearings all move to the rear of the runner so needs that little effort to get fully open, the benefit is that the drawer is easier to open halfway or so.
Yeah, might be. Never looked to see if they are caged or not.
@@JimmyMakingitwork was thinking they are caged and it's probably a safety feature so it doesn't topple over. Or manufacturing defect
When did you work at pepboys and for how long? I worked there for about 4 years. Been in an independent shop ever since.
I was at Pep Boys from 1991 to 2001, it was pretty chaotic and I worked for 11 different service "managers" each one worse than the last, lol. Finally had enough of the working weekends, being open 362 days a year and poor management.
Independent shops have been much better.
Does anyone know what brand Monster turned into? I thought it was VIM, but hey i dont know anything.....
I’d also like to know if they are around under a different name.
@@JimmyMakingitwork K-Tool is what monster tools became after they got sued.
Ask my buddy @CoyleTools for more info.
They are definitely Not VIM.
@@ianloyd6384 thanks for checking. I will say that VIM has some nice tools. Not sure why I thought that???
Been waiting for this one since the first big tour lol.
But really after all the snappy was sold, & you got lots of replacements with new / different brands over time.
Yeah Ian, hope you like it. Lot's of changes but not drastic other than brand.
Did you look at the Homak/Tool Vault boxes as well before purchasing the Icon? Looking between these 2 and really want the 30" deep from Tool Vault. So what about Icon was the big decision for you?
I really wanted to see the box in person before spending the money. So it was box store, tool truck or used for me.
Could you guesstimate your total tool cost in that box, just curious.
I’ve spend well over 100,000 on tools in my career, having about $35,000 or so stolen at one point. I’d estimate that what I have currently including scanners and equipment not kept in this tool box it’s about $65-70,000.
So...... What you're saying is....... The ICON tool cabinets are a great buy......
They have been great so far!
👍👍
Thanks James!
Love my vessel screwdrivers but where are you warranting them
I have not had to warranty one yet. But my GearWrench dealer sells them. Otherwise I’d contact Vessel directly if needed.
I haven't had to warranty any either but was curious since you mentioned it. So far these and Wera have been my favorite screwdrivers, I've tried Mac, Craftsman, Snap On, Matco, Klein and many others
Jimmy, I have a 2016 5.7 4x4 Tundra. I want to do a transmission service myself. Where I live, the dealer wants $500. I saw you did a video where you hooked the machine to the cooler lines. Is it possible for me to do it myself? No other shop wants to touch it. Not sure why?
I'm not sure if the 2016's are different from the ones I've done recently, but they are pretty easy to drain and fill if they are. I'd do a couple of drain and fills, with a short drive in between rather than trying to get into the cooler lines. The Toyotas have some intricate cooler lines that are pretty rigid.
@@JimmyMakingitwork thank you for the advice. Thats the conclusion I came to.
How do you like the icon compared to the epiq? I’m thinking about buying a new box
I really like it. Not as deep as the Epiq, but castors and slides are really good and it cost 1/5 as much.
Honestly surprised to not see any ICON tools
They’re in my cart for daily use. ;)
@@JimmyMakingitwork ahhh makes sense
MONSTER TOOLS- now K TOOLS
Thank you!
I think Astro makes the drill bits
Maybe, I’m not sure. I bet @CPtheToolAddict would know?
CRV made in Taiwan. They work.
Boom.
Its incestous the tool companies now that are all combined brands, such as TTI, stanley black and decker. Most tools made by Cooper, gearwrench/Apex or are Chinese made from what I can see.
It will be interesting to see now the newer cheap tools made by chinese built robots (designed in Japan) and made in the lowest cost producer countries like indonesia, vietnam and so on
Yeah, i'm sure there will be all kinds of things going on in the tool industry in the coming years.
You need a warranty drawer
Haha, if I had one it would only hold two T30 torx sockets. 1 from Grey Pneumatic and 1 from Lisle. Tiny little guys really.
They change the torx style so guys cant get away from the dealership to get there cars fixed. Ekilind makes a ball torx l key set for 20 bux ,that is the road I took USA made too. This is America the greatest country in the world China is a hazmat zone we just can't manufacture here at the same rate brotha. But everytime I take a hike up in the Angeles forest I thank god we don't.
That’s very true!
Autozone carries Titan
Yeah, I’ve also seen it online a bit.
@@JimmyMakingitwork Lang makes the snap on thread restoring kit...
If you use the right size rbrt you won’t chew anything up
Allegedly. I'll have to do some experiments.
Well if you find my 10mm 3/8ths deep chrome bluepoint just let me know...
I’ll keep an eye out for it!
35:04.. Channellock ☝️
Thanks!
This is more about your tools than your toolbox 😅
Haha, very true.
They're all kitchen drawer slides.
lol, nope.
Those top slides are looking pretty sticky
Like Snoop says, Sticky icky icky.
@@JimmyMakingitwork 🤣🤣🤣
4:30 usa made, made at home who cares those are the most shit ratchet handle ever forged out. Change anyones mind lol
lol
The craftsman tools you refer to people praising are the old vintage tools NOT the modern shit. Anyone talking like that dosent know any better
When I was a younger man all craftsmen tools were said to be inferior, only recently they have come into favor as old school quality.
I've always thought they were a good value compared to tool truck brands.
I don't understand why you sold off your snap on tools that you already paid for. just to replace the same tool you already had for a cheaper one. Your not saving money by doing that your just buying the same tool twice for no reason
All in the name of science.
Jimmy, answer to a different comment about what Monster turned into: K-Tool is what they became after the lawsuit. Ask my buddy @CoyleTools for more info
Thanks very much Ian!
That's a badass toolboxe. Snap on , Mac , Matco are a waste of money. I have a Mac , a snap on and Cornwell. Waste of freaking money. But tools and a decent box . Don't buy expensive box.
Yeah, what's most important is to get what you want or can afford without enormous amounts of debt if possible. I just want the younger guys to know it isn't "necessary" to spend $10,000-15,000 for a tool box starting out especially.
