Good to hear she’s holding up! If I didn’t find such a steal of a deal on my used 72” Matco 4s, your videos would have had me 100% sold on a tool vault
The dotted back is actually nice if you had electronics that you left on overnight inside the hutch, it wont heat up inside like I have heard some people complain about. I hope you been doing good Ed!
Sweet box, I would say not having any drawer catches to hold them closed is a plus. I took the lock n' roll tabs out of my classic 78, coudn't stand them. Just threw a level on top to make sure its level, or a degree or 2 back, its perfect. I would never buy a box with the pivoting pulls like an epiq.
I’ve got that same box in a 56” version with the large side locker. I’ve had some of the exact same complaints as yours. The work surface is ferrous metal which is nice because magnets can be used which I do for holding paperwork down. It does dent easy though. After a couple dents I’ve learned to baby it a bit more. -A few things I wish it had was the power drawer like some of the newer boxes have. -Also the hutch height is probably one of my biggest complaints. Really wish it was about 3” higher. I’m 5’11” for reference. If your 3” shorter then me it will probably be perfect for you. -I also wish it had built in lights or lights made specifically for the box.
Hey I was doing some research on the Tool Vaults, I am thinking about getting one. I assume you are in VT because of the 802. I live in VT as well. Thanks for doing reviews on these boxes 👍
@@802dieselcrew8 yeah it's a 99 5sp 9in lift with 38s, 110k mi, had 40s on it but the it made the gears to tall for around town driving, 38s are tolerable
Extend a wrench I first seen thise in 07 Cornywell guy carried them worked great at times for busting caliper bolts on meritor and knorr but there where time not even that worked sonthe good ole hot wrench came in to play
Any recommendations for someone interested into getting into the field? How large of sockets in 1/2 should I get to start? And 3/4 if thats even needed at first. Like the green box looks badass.
Honestly depends on what your working on. I bought my Williams 3/4 set off Amazon for $199 and it goes to 2". I would by tekton for all other sockets for a cheaper alternative with a good return policy. 1/2 stuff I have 3/8 - 1 1/2. Amazon has really affordable stuff that is unusual just rebranded like OEM tools, EZ red, Lang, OTC, and Irwin.
Wow suppressing to see u post, I haven't seen a video from u where UA-cam suggested in over a yr. Kinda forgot about u. I'll check u out now I see u have som recent videos
It's called a wrench extender,to get more leverage in combination wrenches and others too.

I purchased 1/4” rolled gym flooring to cover my top about four years ago. Beat it up but the top is like new.
Great update eddy! Hope youve been doing well. I hear ya on the drawer stuff, my masterforce at home has similar detent stuff, take care bud!!
Those wrench extenders are a must in this industry
Your video is quality has definitely gone up man, since your last box review. Nice work!

Hey Eddy, that toolbox really had held up nicely. I’m still jealous of it lol.

6 years of heavy equipment wenching and nothing has failed! Best buy IMO. By bigger than you need ☺️.
I use 3m dry lube on my tracks, it’s like a graphite material. I also use it on window felt on our cars drys clear works amazing.
Great video man! I’ve had the blue 72” with hutch and 28” side locker for about a month now and I love it!
How has yours been holding up? I see these with the hutch are on their website for $5200 how much did you pay?
@@midnightt6991 if not better than the truck brands. I’m approaching two years with mine and it’s absolutely packed and holding up great
@@midnightt6991 around that price
But for 72” bottom box, hutch, and 29” side cabinet
Love that box brother. Your tool arsenal has grown considerably!
Great video Eddy! Hope cat is treating you well
Hey Eddie, good to see box is holding up. Must like the job if u still there haha
Everything is going great at work, looks like you have a sweet second gen we need a video on. I've got a few videos of my 24 and 12 valves.

Very nice tool box ,great setup.
Thanks for the update man
Wow a fellow Vermonter. When I saw (802) in the name I knew immediately this was a Vermont based channel.
How's the box doing here in 2023? Would you still recommend it today?
9:53, it's a wrench extender, "Cheater Bar", "Leverage Bar".
Which 2 contraptions exactly?
Spline Engine barring tool and Stud remover?
Hello from NewZealand mate love your videos
Cheers brother thanks for the support, always wanted to visit New Zealand.. some day.

Thanks for sharing your experience with your box
Would you recommend the tool vault elite xl 84 for heavy duty mechanic
Can you share the Cat part number for the small yellow case you keep your heat shrink in?
It has a power port in a cabinet ?
What’s your height looks like you don’t have to squat to be in that hutch like most box and hutch set ups
What are you using to hold prybars to the peg
Board
I remember when you got this👍🏼 had a beard and were still doing the school stuff with cat right?
Yes sir, now full time at cat.
802 Diesel Crew that’s awesome bud yeah I started in power plant work as a valve mechanic partially cause of some of your stuff seemed cool 👍🏼
House the box holding up
Still holding up good?
How tall are you and do you have to duck when doing anything in the hutch?
5'9 probably 5'11 or so with boots and my standing mat.
Where did u get that powerstrip and does it have usb charging port
How do you like those lista drawers next to your box?
The vidmar style drawers next to my box are really tough and work great.
What’s the part number for the small yellow cases
From cat I believe its 4C-4789, I haven't ordered one for awhile. I looked it up and it matches mine.
Where did you get the pry bar clip holders?
Right off Amazon, they are called tool clips bi believe.n
If your detents aren’t holding, call StrictlyToolboxes.com and they’ll send you a replacement set. Their customer service is awesome.
