Awesome setup Cody!! That's a killer box,

Jealous of the snap on ratchets and all those gear wrenches, I need more of those.

So looks like your ready to work on our stuff haha!

The gearwrenches are an absolute must. I just bought the stubby versions too, absolutely love them. Just don't use them to back up a bolt you're using an impact on. It'll chew up the gears

Other than that even with a cheated pipe on them I haven't been able to break one. I also recommend the swivel head snapon ratchets they're awesome. Very smooth and once you break the nut loose you can rotate the handle to use it like a screwdriver. Also helps for those off angle reaches so you don't constantly have to use a swivel joint.

When I get home I'm going to start a favorite tools thread so everyone can post up what they like. It'll give me an excuse to buy more tools

I'm pretty proud of what my box has become, it was long ago I was working out of cardboard boxes and using a cheapass harbor freight toolset.

It took me 8 years to get to this point, if you want tools youll make it a point to get everything you want Im sure.

So far Im doing good. During projects everything gets thrown everywhere and ends up on my project table. After Im done I just make sure once Im done to wipe them all down with brake cleaner and put them back in their spot.

I used to work out of cardboard boxes, then got a cheapo tool cart from harbor freight, then a hand me down old craftsman box then my dad bought me this one for my birthday.

Little at a time.
