Best toolbox setup for DIY and vehicle modification

This video shows how I setup my toolbox for building, fixing, and modifying things. This is from my perspective, being an outdoorsman and someone who builds and tinkers with stuff constantly

Really like the foam screwdriver trick!

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!

This guy will be a very good mechanic. He already know that the tool don’t make the mechanic better.

I want to setup a similar cart for maintaining my lifted FJ and 4Runner. Nice work on the organization.

Love those old craftsman ratchets. Mine were stolen years ago. Wish I still had all that sears stuff

[highwayhooligan]

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!

1:00 Same reason I just picked up the same tool box in green. I got tired of of a having a big chunky tool box that everything is everywhere and hard to find the tool you need when you need it. Thank you for showing your setup, i’m going to replicate your setup.

I added and enlarged holes on both sides to hold screw drivers, lady foot bars, punches, 1/4, 3/8 and 1/2 inch ratchets and extensions, pull handles, seal pick. Sockets on top-magnets and rails. 1st long drawer divider in middle with metric wrenches left and standard on right. Left small drawer -pliers-holds a lot. Big botton drawer Milwaukee 3/8-1/2 impacts and ratchets--all ball peens and soft hammers-long pry bars and punches.. good organization makes the job fun--40 year Cat mechanic-love this

Exactly the tools you need. Nothing more, nothing less. Good job.

Nice set up. I have that same HF cart. Great quality for the price. All you need. That old Craftsman stuff just keeps going. Most of my chrome sockets and some impacts and wrenches are 30+ year old Craftsman and a fair amount are 50+ years old that I bought at Sears while working there part time in the hardware dept while working my way through school. I do have a complete set of those Tekton screwdrivers which are great. Also like the Bondus hex keys that are also US made. Love the varioius Knipex pliers I have as well. The master race does know how to make tools.

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. I am a fan of Milwaukee and Tekton hand tools. Excellent tools for the money,
Stay strong brothers

God-bless you man, you did amazing with that setup. Definitely looks like you put some time and love into it, not just a credit card. Having your tools and garage functionaly organized is definitely my jam as well.

[jefftuckercfii]

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.

[thebackwoodsmechanic]

Dropping in to show support. You did a good tour. You're correct, Bondhus is spectacular for Hex wrenches . High recommend myself

[Jackson-vjih]

I really like that you made some of your own organizers and enhancements. It’s way more realistic for the average person. Not everyone can afford all the organizers

[DownloaderVideo]

Excellent video brother and your foam idea for the screwdrivers….pure genius. 👏👏👏

[Heyayo]

Gonna sound petty but couldn't be happier as a professional mechanic seeing a at home car guy using safety glasses

[karenbrewer]

I really like the foam insert at the top with the screwdrivers 👍

[Sanctified_Leather]

Great setup and love the foam idea on the sides with you screwdrivers 🪛 the clanking would drive me nuts also. Thanks for the video. 👍

[EnriqueReyesJrREALTOR]

I like your video. You speak at the perfect speed, and you gave a good description of all your tools. BTW you have a great basic set of tools which would probably get most DIY projects done. 😊
