  • It was time for me to grade to a new tool box because I'm running out of space. I went with this toolbox because the size, quality and price was right for me. It took a long time to move everything around but doing it right is key so you can be ready for any job that comes in shop.

    Two questions? 1. Did you tip the man at least a C-Note for helping you and 2. What are you doing with your Old Husky tool box. Maybe a raffle it for one of your subs!

    Congratulations on your new addition! I love how organized you are, it's a small shop yet you make it work. Not only I'm developing fabrication skills from you sir, but how to be more organized as well. Thank you for sharing your journey with us. Have a blessed day.

    That's funny. It's been almost 10 years Jimbo. I upgraded from my husky 52 to just last year. Matter of fact your review on the the husky box was how I found your channel and the reason I bought the husky 52 back in 2016 not long after you got yours. I didn't upgrade to the u.s general 72 I stuck to the 52 box. Everything I had in the entire husky 52 could fit in just the bottom of the u.s general 52. That was epic to see. U.s general boxes rock though.

    Congratulations on your new tool box Jimbo. Hopefully it works well for you for many years to come and fit many more tools. Can't wait to see more videos soon my friend. Keep up the great craftsmanship and hard work my friend. Fab on. Weld on. Keep making. God bless.

    Pretty excellent. It's good to clear out some cobwebs now and then. It also makes you feel more productive to have a well organized workshop or office (at least that's what I've been told!). When the video started, I thought yep, that would take me a month of Sundays to get done by myself. Good to have a helping hand. Enjoy the new setup!

    I have the same box in blue.. I sold my snap on to buy it.. my snap on was a 53 and I out grew it.. only bad thing about the us general is the lack of a power supply in it.. but they sell a magnetic surge protector power cord that I installed in it and it works great..

    Very nice! I've used a few us general boxes and find them to be outstanding. I recently did a big reorg myself and split my tools up a bit rather than buying a bigger box. I separated my machinist tooling and precision measurement tools into two single bank Kennedy boxes, my welding/fabrication/layout tools into another single bank Kennedy/Craftsman box, my mechanical tools into a used snap on double bank box, my household/woodworking tools into a single bank box with overhead shelving and added a workbench between that and the mechanical box for basic benchtop repairs. Liking the flow so far but still mentally reprogramming on grabbing tools from the new setup.
    I'd love to see a video on how you store your hardware. At my hobby shop I use a combination of plastic organizer boxes, a small drawer parts cabinet and a LISTA cabinet. I work in aviation structural testing we use a giant locker with the plastic Akro bins, a LISTA and organizer trays. They've asked me to put some time into organizing the hardware there and don't have the budget for additional LISTAs so I'm looking for ideas on organization for basic and specialty hardware including MS and NAS fasteners.

    Good one Jim. Thanks for posting. Something all of us hoarders need to do. You are in good company. As much as you grind in the shop, I'm surprised you didn't have tons of buildup on those old shelves. Any advice on the knee replacements?

      @jaywelker5566 Рік тому

      it'll last just fine, lmao. Craftsman boxes from 30-40 years ago aren't built this well/heavy and are still kicking. Plus that Husky he has obviously held up with no issues and those are built extremely light vs a U.S. Gen....
      If you think DIYers to mid-level users (video poster refers to themselves as homegamer) need to be dropping 4-5x as much on SnapOn you're dumb as a rock. Next you'll say people need to slave away on Facebook market place finding these magically "cheap" used tool truck boxes that don't actually exist, or if they do, they're long gone before you ever get a chance at grabbing it. (orrrrrr you just end up getting stuck with a small box with less storage space for the $$ vs this one...and GL finding matching accessories/additions for it anyways...)
      Money saved for people in this segment is better spent on higher quality tools, power tools, specialty tools/equipment. Wasting your budget on storage as a DIY-level type would be stupid af. Prove me wrong. (you can't)

    Nothing wrong with US General. Just like any other tool box it's there to store your tools. People that waste their money on tool truck brand boxes aren't better technicians. they're just idiots.
