I have a mini snap on box. It’s a Dale Earnhardt edition. My dad owns a garage and he got it “free” when he bought a $30,000 wheel balancer. My wife uses it as a jewelry box.
Sir your tangents are better insight and experience then most other peoples topics of choice ... so please tangent away ... thank you for your honor and honesty !!! LOVE ya brother.
Nothing more fun than a bite size toolbox. Thanks for the review. I wasn't even aware these were available. It's a great box to store HF receipts in. 😀
I do robotics maintenance in Amazon and my entire kit fits in these and matches the US General carts we push around the building. Cool as hell i got mine the moment i inew they existed
Honestly this would probably be the best box for electronic projects. Fits a few crimpers and cutters, a couple sets of connectors, wires, zip ties, etc. Small enough to take with you. Too bad we don't have Harbor Freight over here.
I got my mom one of these, and painted it purple for her, and she absolutely loves it! She makes jewelry and uses a lot of very small tools, like tiny files and special pliers for bending wire, she would misplace things, they would roll off her desk, etc, I went back the next day and bought another for my father and one for me. I do a lot of gunsmithing stuff with little teeny tiny punches and extremely expensive tools that are only good for doing one specific gunsmithing thing, I use these just specifically for my smallest tools and I'm extremely happy with these, the giant $20 bolt cuttersi picked up there...not so much. But harbor freight honored my return even though I had f*** the bolt cutters up pretty badly
I have the Kobalt mini one and honestly wish I knew this had been coming down the line, it's cheaper and looks better built. But I do enjoy it I keep it on top my toolbox and store things like valve stem caps glad hand seals and inspection stickers. Basically anything I don't care if others take since it don't lock.
Aww it's so cute. I used to have some no name mini box similar to this and I used it for my 1/5th scale rc parts and tools. It was perfect for that. I also had a mini tool box when I was a kid yhat my dad or brother gave me, it was perfect for me at the time. I had a couple wrenches and screwdrivers they gave me and they filled it up. I thought I was so legit with it. I idolized my brother growing up. I used to have a red wagon that I lifted with little spacers between the basket and wheel assemblies, used to put my bicycle in it tying it down with ratchet straps. I pretended it was my dirt bike and I was transporting my "dirt bike" in my red "trailer" just like my brother did with his bike and trailer. Those were the days. My brother gave me a red Craftsman double stack tool box that he used until he got a bigger one. I thought I was badass with that tool box. Cleaned and organized it every day thinking I was a legit mechanic working on my bicycle "dirt bike" and my lifted red wagon "trailer" 😂
Certain circumstances, yes. I look at it as how often am I going to use whatever tool. If I use that tool daily then how many times will I have to replace it before the cost of however many replacements equals the price of buying a good one. Id rather buy a tool once than have to deal with the inconvenience of having to replace which the cheap tool would break at the most inconvenient times.
@Berm_Blaster this isnt a tool though,it's a tool box...there isnt really a extreme amount wear on it if you use it once a year or 5 times a day....Ive never been concerned the bottom will fall out of my toolbox or something like that in general....it's not really something that has many breakable moving parts...and even if a tool box breaks....you dont lose access to your tools....the drawer just gets stuck sometimes or something.
My work bench sits away from the wall. Which leaves a gap that has magical powers to attract everything. This would be great to put along the top to stop its powers. And be useful at the same time. I be getting a few and try them out. Could be a nice little Christmas present also. Nice peace offering for the wife’s sewing room.
I bought one of these for myself and one for a Christmas present. Seems like a decent box for my work bench. Instead of having my tools laying on the bench I can put them in this tiny box.
well this is so useful. I could just imagine keeping these for classrooms for pencils, storage for little gubbins int he house, etc. these are good for just about anyone.
I feel your pain on the C-Clamps. Some 25+ years ago, I was going through C-Clamps like they were butter, and all I was using them for was to compress brake calipers on my personal vehicle. They all got returned as they were all some kind of pot metal. Maybe or Maybe not, you remember "Great Neck"? That's the one that finally worked and I still have it today. Cheap doesn't always mean bad, but most times it does! Until you find cheap and good..
@ Yeah, pulled up last night and they didnt have any! Said they never even got sent one. Apparently they have people showing up every day to buy them!!
It's a great product. Perfect for tungstens, cups other tig welding odds and ends. Great for plasma cutter consumables. I mean honestly it's useful for a trillion different things in the shop.
welcome to the team, i have felt like a big-ol-dummy most of my life. p.s. i have that gen 1 us general also. mine is still in great shape. it is around 10 years old but it has not been rumbling down rough roads in the back of a work truck. 10 years in a truck is probably the best testimony harbor freight could ask for.
in 1972 i get a snap on set with tool box and i still have 99.9 % of the tools and the 4 drawer box still works, but with all the tools i have now and try to carry with me in my motorhome these would be great to separate my tools up and not having to dig through a couple of boxes hunting the tool in need, so will be going to look at these, really need to separate my metric from my standard wrenches
I have a Snap On box, have had it for twenty years and it has done the job ok. The problem other than the price is absolutely the paint. One thin layer of paint with no clear coat. Every time you clean or wax the damn thing lots of red paint is removed. I am very surprised it is not raw metal at this point. Drawer handles are all rusting from the sweat on my hands touching the thin paint. It is no competition to powder coat. Also have put a caliper on a US General and snap on at the same time, they are the exact same thickness. As long as drawers are roller slides you can not lose.
I've got several of the Berger clamps; I bought my first one as a throw away. Big surprise; it's not a throw away. The company I was working for had C-clamps, but nowhere near enough of them to go around. I had to keep these locked up when I wasn't using them. Couldn't get the company to buy any more either. Now they hang out in the garage.
You can store other things in there….. hahaha 🤤. I’ve had the “Free” Snap On version for years. I’m definitely picking up one of these. Thanks for the video man!!!
Lowes came out with one of these last year. People went nuts for them. There was a bunch of mods all over tiktok. Struts, bases, casters. I think the consensus was that these are great makeup boxes.
Good thing there's a harbor freight down the street not even walking distance. I'm going to go grab like three of those thanks for showing me this. You should glue some magnets on the top lid on the inside and then on the bottom. That should secure that door a lot better on the top
Tried to buy one last week. I asked the cashier at HF if he had any, and he said he did, but they weren’t allowed to sell anymore until the Black Friday sale 🙄
@@FunkFPVmy aunt and cousin work at hf all the employees bought them when they first came in and were told the same but they only have like 2-5 left if your lucky for Black Friday
I'm a trucker, i have been trying to maximize the space i have in the side box, which is very small. Two of these would actually be VERY useful in there because of the drawers. I'm going straight there.
I got a PIT mini tool box from Amazon and I use it for pencils, pens little stuff like that for my home office and I love it. It's more of it makes me giggle when I use it. So 30 ish bucks I get a bunch of little joy it's worth it. I wasted more money on stupid stuff. It's about finding small things that give you a little joy a bunch of times.
See these are the type of reviews I like. A real person doing a look over of the product itself. I don't like reviews where it's some random person that's paid to say a product is great even though i reality the product is absolute trash. I'd be interested in picking up one myself to keep certain small hand tools in that I use more than the other. That way I don't have to dig for 10-15 minutes in my big tool box to find that 1 pair of pliers and screwdriver.
I think it's a cute box, Saw it in the store a while back. Too small to be of any actual use to me, especially with drawers that only slide half way out. Make one with full extension slides and about six drawers and I'll be a buyer for all my precision stuff for electronics and computers. I've got a 3 drawer, plus the top box with a handle on top, maybe 22" wide or so? Bought it a Kmart some 25 years ago, "Benchtop" branded. sat on top of my bigger box at a shop for 5 years and in my trunk for 10 years after that, it's a little dented up, but all the slides are still smooth and everything works. Think I paid $40 or 50 for it.
thats neat but if Im going to have something that small I'd probably just go with one of those small ones with the handles, a hinged lid, and a removable tray inside. I should actually get something specifically for my whittling tools.
Bought a Snapon rolling tool chest bank bout that size at a garage sale a couple years ago in the box for 10$, later found out they sold for over 100$. To remove the coins the bottom opens with a mini socket wrench.
I bought the exact same tool box from menards for around 8 bucks. Difference is harbor freight version has 25 cents worth of drawer liners. And mine are black and say performax

@@Sausketo It seems to be a little smaller but has 3 drawers and a deeper top.
Dale would be disgusted by that trash.
*had a mini snap on toolbox 😂
This is great for any hobby that requires smaller tools.
Like 3D printing and the like
Or RC cars
Or smoking, and smoking accessories 😁😶🌫️
Or just a really small guy that uses small tools
I was thinking it might have use for leatherworking or watchmaking tools.
Sir your tangents are better insight and experience then most other peoples topics of choice ... so please tangent away ... thank you for your honor and honesty !!! LOVE ya brother.
😘👍🏻
I’m buying one for my 11 year old son, and will fill it with his wood carving tools. I have to invest on my future Father’s Day present.
haha 😂
Cool little EDC organizer.
Move to a better city 😂

The clowns on Reddit are all over it. Really dumb and useless IMO
Looks like they would be great for storing all my loose drill bits!! Thanks for the video!!
That’s actually really practical for so many things, hobby’s and crafts, a desktop tool box for light maintenance work, that’s cool
I love that we get a "There you go! 👍" in the long format videos, too!
Looks perfect for a roadside kit to throw in my P.O.S. work wagon
I do robotics maintenance in Amazon and my entire kit fits in these and matches the US General carts we push around the building. Cool as hell i got mine the moment i inew they existed
Great for smaller measuring tools such as depth gauges,maybe dial indicators,or shorter calipers n such.. or your stash..beard wax,tampons,etc..
😂😂
I’m waiting for mini “Tool box tours” to be the next big UA-cam sensation.
There was a ton of these on tiktok last year with boxes from lowes. People went crazy for them.
Great idea. I have a sick amount of mini/micro tools, haha. Most for novelty but some are pretty functional! I should make a video
Picking one up today for my son for his birthday. Thanks for the video . Glad it came across my feed.
Honestly this would probably be the best box for electronic projects. Fits a few crimpers and cutters, a couple sets of connectors, wires, zip ties, etc. Small enough to take with you. Too bad we don't have Harbor Freight over here.
I plan on buying 3 (if I can) to put on top of my main box. Perfect for electrical, dremel, and drill accessories
You know I think I actually have a purpose for this little dude. Thanks man.
I got my mom one of these, and painted it purple for her, and she absolutely loves it! She makes jewelry and uses a lot of very small tools, like tiny files and special pliers for bending wire, she would misplace things, they would roll off her desk, etc, I went back the next day and bought another for my father and one for me.
I do a lot of gunsmithing stuff with little teeny tiny punches and extremely expensive tools that are only good for doing one specific gunsmithing thing, I use these just specifically for my smallest tools and I'm extremely happy with these, the giant $20 bolt cuttersi picked up there...not so much. But harbor freight honored my return even though I had f*** the bolt cutters up pretty badly
They have a purple coat for the series they sell constantly. Hopefully, they add that as a color with how much they're selling these soon.
@@RandomLombax37 sick, I fuckin suck at painting, maybe I'll get her a new one, swap it out and see if she notices
I work at the blue big box store and got one of our brand for my grandson last Christmas. Filled it with a bunch of pint sized tools.
Oh man that's a pretty awesome gift, I'm sure your grandson thinks of you every time he uses the tools you got him
I love the colors from the blue store, but just hearing those drawers without bearings drives me inside.
I have the Kobalt mini one and honestly wish I knew this had been coming down the line, it's cheaper and looks better built. But I do enjoy it I keep it on top my toolbox and store things like valve stem caps glad hand seals and inspection stickers. Basically anything I don't care if others take since it don't lock.
Realistically they probably come from the same company. There's a 2.00 dollar difference not really saving much
@@T6TarekThe Kobalt doesn't come with drawer liners or the rubber feet or ball bearing drawer slides. I'd definitely pick this one over the Kobalt.
@jsax01001010 idk I'm not poor I have multiple mini snap ons. I don't own anything from Harbor freight and never will.
@@T6Tarek do you have the special limited edition $400 snap-on funnel too, so you can huff your own farts? 🙄
@@EvilOdin you sound poor. Sorry for not being sorry. Did rent get paid this month? Another thing I'll never know about or have to do.

Black Friday sale is coming up at Harbor Freight. I was looking at these and the roller carts. Timely review
Very cool, with endless possibilities. Can't beat the price 👍

Be a perfect bench top box for me.

That is going to be great to keep tools in the back of your vehicle I hope they come back in stock around me soon, in red, so it matches my jeep😂
I bought one from Lowe’s last year. This year they are releasing a bottom box. Plus tractor supply will also have one.
I think this might make some fun desk top storage for someone who wishes they didn't work at a desk.
See these are the type of reviews I like. A real person doing a look over of the product itself. I don't like reviews where it's some random person that's paid to say a product is great even though i reality the product is absolute trash.

It's small and cute, but will look a little funny sticking out my back pocket.
I've got something similar, branded Mastercraft, from Canadian Tire, I use for my double edge razor collection and blades.
We snapped up one of the mini Kobalt toolboxes from Lowes a few months ago. Wife is using it for her manicure stuff I think.
I think it's a cute box, Saw it in the store a while back. Too small to be of any actual use to me, especially with drawers that only slide half way out. Make one with full extension slides and about six drawers and I'll be a buyer for all my precision stuff for electronics and computers.

Looks like this would be perfect for my RC car tools 🤔
I'd buy thar because it's blue...and it matches my other hf box that works just fine.
I want one of these in that new purple coat they're throwing on their main carts.
Cool i want one, and honestly i wouldn't watch anyone else talk about a toolbox for 15 mins.
I appreciate it 😁
Cool little box thanks funk
I just went to Harbor Freight yesterday. I should've got one, just for the hell of it.
The new Craftsman boxes are made in the USA and are very very nice. FWIW.
I was thinking about getting my 5 year old the two Kobalt mini toolboxes from Lowe's. They have a three drawer and a two drawer that stacks on top.
LOWES had them for black friday a couple years ago for $12.99. I bought 6 lol
This could be useful for all my mini lathe accessories
looks much nicer than the one I bought recently.
This is perfect for behind tractor seat it keep my tool i keep in it nice
thats neat but if Im going to have something that small I'd probably just go with one of those small ones with the handles, a hinged lid, and a removable tray inside.
I should actually get something specifically for my whittling tools.
Bought a Snapon rolling tool chest bank bout that size at a garage sale a couple years ago in the box for 10$, later found out they sold for over 100$. To remove the coins the bottom opens with a mini socket wrench.
Id get one for my wrist watch, title documents, ect on my night stand but needs more detail. Like lock, rail guard ect. More drawers
This would be perfect for my crimp connectors, heat shrink, and crimp tools.
I bought the exact same tool box from menards for around 8 bucks. Difference is harbor freight version has 25 cents worth of drawer liners. And mine are black and say performax
When I started my apprenticeship I was told to get certain tools and a box, went to HF got what I needed for 1/10 of what some of my peers paid.
Great little socket box... Get two for metric and SAE in different colors lol
Good ol' FH finally makin a box for the service writer ! Lol
He can store all his lies in it 😜
