Thanks, those needle nose pliers are incredibly useful. Next time I will opt for the type with the wheel on the end of the handle though, as I much prefer them.
Very similar set up to my road box. The only thing I keep in mine that you don't have is a cheap set of wire stripper/crimpers and a small selection of terminals. Twice I found myself helping stranded motorists who had broken down as a result of broken wires/connections and I had to bodge a fix....then it happened on my car and I finally put a few bits in the box......haven't need to use them ever, so it's good insurance!
This was pretty helpful. I have a full welding service truck but I’m trying to set up a craftsman box similar to this that my dad gave me for doing more mechanic type work. The box is older than me as is most of the tools I’m putting in it. But I got to pull an engine on my loader and I think I can do mostly everything with just stuff that fits in the box.
That sounds great. For what you're doing I reckon a similar setup to mine would be good minus a few wrenches to bring the weight down. But if the box doesn't have to move far then maybe get a top box from a roller cab setup which will give you a tonne more storage. Thanks for watching
I have the craftsman, very nice setup u have, i squeezed the pliers vertically up top with the tape, pen, magnets and other bits, Next the top drawer, ratchets and sockets on rails laid over deeps Middle drawer wrenches vertical and interlaced with anothet set. Bottom drawer big stuff. Wow it was heavy, so i got a big roller chest for my garage lol 😂
I would also like to upgrade to a roller box one day, but it just wouldn't work where I am now. I'm definitly stressing this box to its limits as far as capacity goes 😄
I have the same tool box, and also the similar-looking Halfords box. The Sealey has ball bearing drawers and is the nicer of the two, if that helps anybody choose. Like you, I use a few smaller carry tool boxes rather than one big cabinet so I can easily take the most common tools with me to other locations when I need to. Yours is better organised than mine though, you've got more in but with less jumble. It looks like you've made little dividers to create sections within the drawers. You've given me a little project for after xmas...
It's amazing what a bit of organisation can do. Type 'Wham organiser' in to ebay and you should find some good solutions. To make it fit my needs I snipped some sections out with the sidecutters. Sorry if I already mentioned that in the video, it was a while ago since I made it. Thanks for watching.
It's always interesting to see inside someone else's toolbox. Lots of the same stuff I have, but I think you should treat yourself to a bit more Snap-On! Maybe a set of their mini screwdrivers with the Instinct handles - I use them all the time and they are just so nice to use.
Only thing i didnt see that i recommend is an adjustable wrench at least a 10 or a 12 thats a must for me.... definitely has gor me out of a bunch of situations
I agree that the adjustable wrench is invaluable in a tool box. I think my reasoning for leaving it out of this box is that I have so many wrenches and sockets of all sizes that it's unlikely I'll need it.
I just don't have enough need for SAE with the cars I currently have. If I ever get hold of my dream car, an old Dodge Charger then that may change though 🙂
Great video, What is the thin pry bar you have? Not the trim tool, the other one. I have a similar box that I can do 90% for jobs out of it. I took all my ½" sockets out and just left the ratchet and an adapter I cam still get most stuff done with ⅜" stuff, and I work on tractors and trucks mostly. Also have a 12" adjustable, just regular spanners 7mm-24mm. Other than that very much the same but in a 2 draw box I got of market place. I then have a second smaller box with ½" sockets, shallow and deep, up to about 32mm and then ¾" up to 50mm, spanners from 24mm-32mm, 18" adjustable, ¾" ratchet and a drum brake tool.
Thanks for watching. I think the prybar you're talking about is the black handled screwdriver looking one, right? That's a pretty standard mechanic style prybar, albeit a cheap one made by Sealey. The slightly better ones have full tangs and a strike cap if you are after a better quality one. I've considered doing the same with my half inch sockets, but where I find them useful is just for being able to leave a different size socket on to avoid having to keep switching out sockets, it helps me work a bit faster. That said, I may remove them one day.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse No I ment the one at about 23:45 the spring steel looking one, very thin. I know you said you liked the Snap on Screw drivers, they are very nice but top quality pry bars make a difference too. I have a Sealey out other generic bar and the Snapon one the same size is a night and day diffrance. The very little 8" Snapon is probably my most used as it is a real screwdriver saver. The other thing I have done is to grade them, so maybe starting from 19mm or 17mm and going up from there in ½" and then having a little over lap maybe and everything down from there in ⅜"? I have done that at work. I also have AF/mm/BSW in sequential order at work and skipping anything that over laps like ¾"AF and 19mm it suits my working on old and unusual things so you never know what you are looking at. But lightens the box up at bit.
@@heritagejonery3879 Ah yes, that little red pry bar is brilliant. I've seen them made by various brands but my main one is branded 'Richard'. They are often called 'bee keepers tools' and you can pick them up really cheap from the likes of amazon or ebay. I think for beekeepers they are a multipurpose tool that prys opens the box, and then scrapes the honey off. They are made of really good stainless steel and like I said, they are really good scrapers. I like the fact that they fit extremely low profile in a tool box.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUse excellent, found some got one 👌 thanks. My partner has bees and we do not have one of there 🤷♂️. Looks handy though. I do a lot of fine trip repairs so having a strong but very thin prying tool is essential, usually combinations for cut off scrapers and such so these look ideal.
Thanks. Halfords is an automotive shop over here. The quality of many of the things they sell is similar to harbour freight stuff I see on US tool box tours. But the halfords advanced stuff has a lifetime warranty. It not particularly good quality, and nothing like snap on, but its good enough to rarely break, and well priced. The best part is that you can walk in to the store and get the tool replaced no questions asked.
Nice tools. I like the needle nose vice grips used as a multi purpose tool.

Good thinking. They'll be a nice lightweight addition that might get me out of trouble. 👍
What sizes does rhe stripper do. I love this idea but what wire sizes would be best for a oh sheet stripper

Snap on is a waste of money now days I have the facom screwdrivers far better and cheaper
You should look into boxo 20 inch tool box, its a beefer version, you seem like the kind of person that would deserve a box like it
Nice set up.
Thank you, it works well for me.👍
Nice compact setup 👍
Thanks, it serves me well.👍
Thanks for share

Sorry but adjustable spanners are for people who don't have the right tools for the job its a plummer tool not a mechanics tool
@@aarondavies8486 so if u don't have the right tools at the moment and ur not near a store ur just gonna sit there and let God take over?
@cesaresparza5816 no because I wouldn't do a job knowing I don't have the right tools for its called being prepared
@@aarondavies8486 congratulations ur a better and smarter person than me
Should you get sae and metric socket or just one or the other
I just don't have enough need for SAE with the cars I currently have. If I ever get hold of my dream car, an old Dodge Charger then that may change though 🙂
Mate get the facom ratchet screwdriver ots the best out there stubby built in the top and has another 1/4 hex on the side so you can use as a tbar
That does look really nice. Love that t handle design too, always good for getting more leverage. Thanks for the recommendation.👍

As an American, I yearn for the day when I don't have to have SAE sockets.
I know how you feel. So much weight and expense just to have either metric or SAE on hand just in case for all the different fittings.
I've never needed an SAE on my car.
@JohannesWOW a lot of American after market parts use SAE and some older vehicles will have a mix of both metric and SAE.
Good vid. Halford advance? Not in the US

Mate get yourself a wh750 seesii cordless impact wrench
Anyone that tosses their tools down are not really into tools. So ….. don’t waste our time.
They're tools to be used, not collectors items.
@@ToolReviewsofToolsIUseI liked ur video gonna buy the craftsman toolbox tmr morning
@@jaketrainor5776 Thanks mate, the Craftsman box looks great. The hardest part as always will be not overfilling it 😁
When you don’t pay snap on prices you don’t have to worry about what will happen when you toss them a couple inches onto a flat bench
One of the signs of a slop artist. Regardless of price.
