She rips out a grommet at 3:17 and tried to hide it. Quality and transparency! Also goes for the driver in the front each time Vs one in the back when talking about ergonomics.
definitely something i would want to check out more before i purchased. idk anything about sema show, but is it new unreleased products? so maybe things can be changed before they sell to the public?
this would for real be an awesome gun cabinet. mags, ammo, handguns on the front, rifles on the sliding back panels, and cleaning stuff in the bottom drawer
I had a Snap On Harley Davidson tool box that never had any tools in it. Only guns and knives. About 5 years after I bought it my Snap On man's rep asked me about it. Said he had a guy dying to get his hands on one, and asked if mine was in good condition and if I was interested in selling it. Well, when they saw it I got quite a bit more for it then a payed for it. I mean quite a bit.
I was wondering how that driver would be removed with the grommet around it. The grommet got pulled out with the driver, unfortunately she tried to hide it and made it much worse. So many things in life turn out that way.
I should have responded to this earlier. You are right I was surprised it came out but I had demonstrated to someone how easily they can be field replaced but evidently didn't get it seated correctly. My bad....I should have explained at the time but this video is long enough!! Lol. It is allot to cover. Thanks for paying so much attention!!
Looks like a great idea and innovation for smaller workshops. And it's great that the owner of the company is really on the ball and knows all the ins and outs of her product!
Great question! Two answers. First, when the extension panels are open you can open the doors past ninety degrees and access the open area that is created back there. Very easy to pick things up, you can also use those telescope magnets you have. Second answer, if this is a common place issue you can put a backstop on any shelf you would like. The open access to grabbing a socket is nice though.
This looks like something Adam Savage would love. First order access for the most commonly used tools in the shop, and second order (drawers) for stuff you seldom use, but still need. I could see this filled with machinist or craft tools, but not at $17K price point.
And that's just for a BARE Box. You then have to outfit it with all of the hangars, hooks, doo dads and bobbly goops. By the time it's all said and done you can have a new C8 Corvette OR this box.
It's an OCD dream. Organized, layout and ergonomics are awesome and the footprint of the box is miniscule compared to what that thing is designed to hold. Wow.
You think so?? Looks like a pretty huge box to means the way it owns it up too. Also I don’t think it holds as many tools as a 10 drawer 52 inch tool box.
Its cool for the hobbyist, for the master mechanic, this is an oversized tool cart because it will not hold the specialty tools we collect. Very cool for the hobbyist.
Someone was "thinking outside the box" here. But, where do you put diagnostic tools, blow-molded cases, spare parts, shop supplies, work orders, etc (the list goes on).
Did anyone else see the grommet go with the nut driver at 3:19? The presenter then tries holding it in place, before feebly trying to reinstall it, before finally deciding to just take the whole tool and the grommet with them. lol.
I saw this Lady and tool box at Good Guys show in Des Moines. Nice tool box with neat features, but at $16,000 as shown in the video you can buy a H.F. 72" top and bottom for $2K and then go buy a used car too.
3:20 - 3:30 Whoops! She did a good job in covering and moving on. It looks like you better plan on using some super glue to help unintentional re-configuring.
Great product if all of your tools are wrenches and sockets. I personally have a lot of specialty tools that are in plastic boxes that have to go in drawers. No way would this replace a 72" triple bank roller but it would make one awesome roll-cart.
That is what I was thinking. I have many of the tools in this box, but like you, the diagnostic equipment and other larger tools... I need drawers, long and deep. 72 inch here too... And it is full, I could use another...
I'm not a professional mechanic so take this for what it's worth. She keeps mentioning ergonomic but I really don't see how this system is much more ergonomic than most boxes, seems like it's actually less so. Normally I've got my sockets in the top drawer and my wrenches one drawer down. When setting up a new box or expanding my tools I may end up moving things a bit but for the most part I know what drawer and side my sockets are and I'm just choosing drive, type and size. Same goes for the wrenches. I'm not even a pro but I've got my box pretty memorized for the tools I'm reaching for frequently, I've gotta imagine it's worse having to bend over to get sockets from those bottom holders. It also seems like it would be much easer for wrenches to fall off those hangers, at least from the sound as she is sliding the system in and out. Not to mention the fact that I lose that giant working space I'd get with a normal box. I'm sure there are specific use cases or industries this thing would be great for but it seems super niche, especially for the price of that box (I can get a new Epiq that would hold more for a little more than half the price? Seems like a neat idea, will be curious how much it takes off. The fact she keeps saying ergonomic though gets me…
That is cool, but I can tell you it will never take off with dealership techs.. Anyone whos worked in a dealership in a major city, knows they pack techs in like sardines on every available lift. You need an 8ft wide box just to bully yourself enough room to breath, or the guys on both sides of you will spread into your space for you. The last two dealerships I was at, you couldnt close that box up opr youd come in one morning and there would be crap from techs on either side of you spread in so far you couldnt open the box again until there was a fist fight. This should be a huge hit with home garage guys on limited room (wife mad she cant park in the garage lol), small independant shop techs who have 2-3 bays each, race car trailers etc.. I think aviation guys will be hesitant too depending on thier employers tool inventory control system. I know some insist on foam with flourescent colors very specifically indicating missing tool, not just an empty hook or something I'll also go ahead and make the obligatory joke about how your tools are already on display to easily sell when you go broke at a corporate owned, micro managed dealership !!
Some techs drop 15 to 20K on their Snap-on and Macs. It's not that outrageous when you consider how much tools and equipment cost in some of these shops. Not that I can drop that kinda cheddar on anything at the moment... ✌🤣
Would be perfect for industrial maintenance. 17k is not expensive compared to the two tool carts and a computer ergotron it would replace. Probably not ideal for auto techs.
@@wgmskiing I’ve seen auto techs with over 100K in snap on box’s, almost all the techs I know have 20-25K setups for just the box. Tbis is the only thing I think I’d be willing to drop that price on, it suits everything I want perfectly
She was very crafty at hiding the issue with the screwdriver 😁🤦♂️ the retaining rubber came off with the screwdriver so she hid it in her hand and then passed the screwdriver to her colleague out of shot 🤷♂️ I see someone mentioning its 17K for this thing...look you're better off making your own for 1K with all the bells and whistles - thanks for the idea, off to the workshop I goes 😉
Won’t hold my breath waiting to see your crafty interpretation… chances are pretty good that it stops at the statement above. Make sure to document your $1,000 creation with all the bells and whistles.
$1k doesn’t have close to a shot, but I agree about the overall value based on this particular demo. I’d need to see it in person to be convinced it’s worth the price.
The other haters don't seem to know how to build things and only pretend to use the tools they have. The most expensive parts on this build will probably be that laptop holder and the sliders, other than that its all sheet metal, peg board, and some VERY basic wiring. Best of luck to you I was thinking the same thing, cool idea, dumb price. Fools and their money will easily be parted, same people who buy over priced brand named shit that costs more to turn in the "lifetime warranty" than if they took care of their tools and just bought them from Harbor Freight or somewhere similar. But hey how would they brag to their fat asshole friends when drinking beer around the tools they never actually use if they don't have a shinny sticker on them, just wait till the RGB crazy hits the tool world and everything lights up like computer parts do now.
So, upon watching this video I decided to research this model box. While I haven't personally looked into it I can say with 100% certainty it won't sell! Well, you say "what do I know!" I'm a 53 year old heavy Equipment mechanic (road) doing it since I was 15, and I have 19 years as CM in the SeaBees (1 year to go!) reserves. Yes, 2 jobs in the industry. Bottom line is the price versus cubic storage. I have a MAC Maximizer with a side cabinet in my shop and the both cost around the same price as the big one. Only difference is my box can hold 4 times as much. Plus, when I move it it doesn't sound like a Pakistan jingle truck driving down the 6 ring! (Vets will get it!) For my money, I'll stick with, and recommend to young guys stay with horizontal storage for the money! A lot of flash I think!
Got the jingle truck comment lol. 35+ years in Naval aviation (21 as active duty). This is not practical at all. It was designed by a mechanical engineer, not a mechanic. Appreciate your service brother.
Was about to ask if it will be available in then UK but I just noticed below that its $17000 !!!!! Really nice but way out of my budget means, even at half that price!! Mentally I had pitched at around $4000 to $5000. So, my Snap-On roll cab and top box stays!
With the slide out is just like two drawers of a big tool box. Not enough room for me but I do love this box. I would want this in my garage for small jobs
Its ok for some people but i don't think I would like all my tools on display like that but I work in a place that has a lot of people walking around the shop and it would be easy for something to disappear
Nice design for certain applications. Professionally I will stick with a traditional cabinet with a nice large stainless top to use as a work bench and tool collection area. I would use this at home where space is tight, however I would never pay 17k for a home box, or my work box.
I’d like to see a folding roll cart on the back to be used as a work/desk surface. Just detach it and u got urself the ability to set tools down and roll specific tools somewhere else as well!
I don’t even need to look how much this is I already know I’d have to take out a second mortgage for one of these. It’s an awesome toolbox you’ll have a new customer if I ever win the lottery.
why are toolboxes so expensive in the States? I mean, you can built your own toolbox.. much bigger.. much more solid for much less money. $17k.. thats crazy
As a USAF Jet Engine Mechanic and FAA A & P Mechanic, we used to take metal cabinets example 5ft. H, 4ft.W, 2ft. D and adapt them into a similar tool box
Super cool custom box they came up with here! But that sounds so pricey for so little still. I work at a dealer and 9/10 techs including me have atleast a 2 bay+ main box and a roll cart for the sole purpose of having a tabletop or shelves on the carts, nothing handier than being able to set tools and parts down in order right next to you or to write estimates/supplements. I'm sure if they found a way to lower the development cost and implemented a shelf, or foldable worktop of some sort these would sell like hot cakes. Or maybe scale down for smaller more affordable versions.
this isnt meant for people like you to buy. this is for shops that purchase and control their own tools. this IS NOT a flat rate mechanics box. this is an aerospace or defense portable tool room.
Check out the Montezuma 36" box, I have one and it is the bomb for wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, sockets. Small footprint but holds a ton of stuff, while allowing you easy access. It was worth every penny.
I have the craft and sewing version made by another company. Unbelievable how much I can store. It used to store two sewing machines but I swapped out one for a Cricut. Very handy.
Neat idea. The one thing that really stands out to me is how often she has to move that notebook PC out of the way. I can just see that getting broken with all that contact. Would be nice if that could be tucked away and only deployed when needed.
I’ll just start with, I couldn’t put 1/4 of my sockets in that, my epiq holds all my tools and won’t be wobbly rolling across a floor, good box for a starter set.
@@geraldhull5241 I started in a steel mill repair machine shop. They had nothing. In fact, you weren’t even allowed to have a rollaway. The machines were “pre ark.” The favorite saying there was: We’ve had so little for so long, now we can do anything with nothing. I worked in the McDonnell Douglas Engineering Lab and Model Shop. The equipment was also antique and worn out. I moved away for a few years. They asked me to come back as management. There was nobody in management who had machine shop experience. The machinist wanted better equipment and tooling. So, I studied the shops, what we needed and the whole procurement and budgeting systems. So, it took a while. There had been a request for new machines in for several years. The budget was insufficient and the equipment they asked was nonsense and had little to do with what the shop required. So, I made a plan and did a whole new shop rearrangement, that had to be done in phases dure to budgets. I also wrote a paper on the needs MDAC were facing and what it would take to bring the shop in line with their needs. The budgets were still minimal. So, I ordered the machines without tooling. That way we got more machines with the same dollars. Tooling department “Had To” furnish us with tooling - not from our budgets. I found a building with Lista Cabinets - thousands of new - still in the box - cabinets. Nobody seemed to know who they belonged to. I got a truck and a new cabinet for all the machines. I found cleaning equipment for the floors - daily and found that maintenance had to clean the floors every 6 months - they hadn’t done them in years. Found a stuff called “sudsdown cleaner” that was the strongest stuff I’ve seen to date. Eventually we had a damn nice shop - to be proud of. I’m old now, but still have a really good tool box. But I hurt too damn much to do anything.
That’s actually pretty neat. I could use that in my home garage. At work idrk maybe someone with multiple boxes, This might come in handy for. Gets rid of the old roll cart
Gave my wife my wallet after watching this. Trying to save for Christmas. I did the whole “we got a ‘family car lift’,” didn’t go well. I think the family took box would go over just as well. 😆
That tool box is the sweetest system I have ever seen. I can't afford it, but if I was a professional mechanic, or shop owner, I'd do what I'd have to in order to have one of these in my shop..
I could fit 1/4 of my stuff in that. Good for a starter set or a shop owned set or a garage set but for the full time been doing it 10 plus years guy I don’t see a use
These are very cool and extremely expensive the box in the video sells for over $18000 without any add ones that said if I had that kind of money I'd buy one
The box is nice but it seems like it does not beat a traditional toolbox as far as use of space. That’s a big box and not that many tools fit in it really. It does look cool I’ll give it that.
Not as many tools overall, but probably more tools accessable without having to move other tools out of the way or open a case inside a drawer. Better accessibility physically and visually was their goal, which I think they've done a decent job with.
@@mattspevak7944 not trying to argue with you but not really actually. Sockets and wrenches which is what is mostly in that box are usually tools that are in their own drawers. And are already pretty easily accessible. But you brought up a good point a mechanic always has a lot of tools with blowmolded cases. Where would you put those on this thing? Pliers would also take up a lot of real estate in this thing?
@@billybob6469 Very true. All of that. I also think this system lacks flexibility compared to a normal toolbox. I buy a new type of pliers and just throw them in the drawer with all the other ones. Done. This or any shadow foam type system you end up spending a lot of time adding tools and often have to compromise on their location because the system is too rigid. Things often end up somewhere because they fit, rather than being located where they make sense. Definitely not an ideal system for me, or even close, but I do see applications where this could be useful and better than a traditional box. I'm in boxes largely for corrosion prevention due to coastal moisture and I'm curious how well this unit seals when closed.
Um yeah.....No. At $17,300 for the little one then add $595.95 for a tablet holder you can get on Amazon for $69? A fool and their money soon part. Almost makes me want to buy a new Snap On to save some cash. And I detest Snap-On! lol Cool System, but woefully overpriced. Thanks for sharing Koon! Just shows, there's something for everyone. Especially those with more money than sense. Zip~
This lady is really smart....this may possibly be the most well thought out tool storage for ANY situation or job! Clay really knows how to find some cool one off items!!
First thing I learned in (USAF) aviation is you don't need that many tools. Small kits that are job specific are much more sane, and take up WAY less space than trying to have one of everything. I replicated that at home. All the odd sizes are off in a box under my bench if for some odd reason I ever need them.
Our box for helicopter maintenance in the Army was tiny also, I can respect the idea of this from my own garage and a few rolling toolboxes (hell I might keep the idea in mind if I ever want to build my own), but the the cost its ONLY for budgets like military where the people buying don't actually care about the waste of money because its someone elses.
All depends on what you do. If you are very specific then a few tools will do. If you want to do a bit of everything? Then what's needed will be much much larger. Even with just vehicles, if you specialize in one make of car, one model of car, then you may need very few tools to be very effective. But branch out into others and you will need more. Overall the more general you are, the more you will need. For most people I suggest just buying a basic tool kit, and add to it as needed. If you work on something that requires a specific tool that can't easily be rented, or you may need to use it multiple times, then buy it.
When you only are working on a set amount of vehicles that's fine, but if your in automotive with dozens of manufacturers and 100s of different models that change every year, you need a lot of tools
@@ocpimport7935 Yes and no. Tool manufactures will try to convince you that you need every size of wrench, socket, etc but to work on a typical vehicle you may need 4 sizes to do 90% of the work and maybe another 4 more along with a dozen specialty items to do the rest. That holds true for pretty much any category of vehicle. It is cheaper these days to just buy the specific sizes you need as you encounter them than to go drop big $$$ on large everything sets and even more on extremely pricy roll arounds to organize them.
Mob Armor is who makes that magnetic mount for the laptop/tablet, those are killer and I use the smaller ones cell phone holders all over my shop/house/vehicles
I’ve been a diesel mechanic for 30+ years, and I have at least an 8 year college degree invested in my tools and boxes. Plural, BOXES. I’d need at least 3 of those to store everything I have. Not to mention some of the shop floors I’ve worked in and how massively work they were. I can see this thing tipping over and come crashing down on someone’s $200k+ rig ! Try explaining THAT to the customer and your boss. My snap on tool box is stable, very well built, holds way more than that, and cost just about the same amount. You get what you pay for guys. Sure, the general tool boxes you can get for a fraction of the price will do the same job, it’s just tool storage right ? But it isn’t going to hold up near as long. Weight distribution, uneven floors, and abuse in general, I’ve seen the cheap boxes literally break at the welds due to stuff like that. $17k for a locker ? I’ll pass
Well shoots... That's one hell of a great idea for the industry and though I'd like to say it'll never work, the fact is that it's exactly what I need for my limited workspace at the shop...
I feel like it's a roll cart. Because it's not big enough to hold everything you'll ever need. But will hold way more stuff than a normal roll cart will.
Maybe you should build a knockoff for the poor man out here. Incorporate a system that can integrate an off the shelf slide to customize to your needs.
Wally's head would explode, he was way too used to disorganization. My only concern with this tool box, is that it looks like it shares something in common with train cars. They are narrow, tall and heavy, which means, it has a high center of gravity, and if there is enough weight shift, for any reason, it's tipping over.
She rips out a grommet at 3:17 and tried to hide it. Quality and transparency!
Also goes for the driver in the front each time Vs one in the back when talking about ergonomics.
I was about to call it out lol
Its a custom setup. It looks incredibly easy to grab the screwdrivers behind it as is but you could always just space them out a little further.
definitely something i would want to check out more before i purchased. idk anything about sema show, but is it new unreleased products? so maybe things can be changed before they sell to the public?
Also it's $16k
Ahahahha noticed that aswell tried hiding it
i'm gonna need 2 of them. I'll customize one of them for rifles and pistols
this would for real be an awesome gun cabinet. mags, ammo, handguns on the front, rifles on the sliding back panels, and cleaning stuff in the bottom drawer

I love placing giant magnets near my laptops.
Most devices now are SSD so there isn't a spinning hard drive. Magnets have no effect on that technology

Best feature is you can use it to block a nosey customers view if they're staring at you through a shop window 😂

Yeah it’s cool and all but not $17k+ cool

Most important question is how well does this system work at keeping my 10mm from walking away?
Number one question I get. Thinking about making an emergency break the glass box for extras 😁
Not me took it. If I find that guy...
Cmon, that’s along the lines of perpetual motion. Just never gonna happen.

Let’s say you are pushing it across the shop kinda quick. Then you hit the air hose you forgot about. Bet it’s top heavy
This woman is an INCREDIBLE sales person. She knows her product !!!!
She can make this thing look at least like maybe a good idea which speaks for her ability.

$1k doesn’t have close to a shot, but I agree about the overall value based on this particular demo. I’d need to see it in person to be convinced it’s worth the price.
The other haters don't seem to know how to build things and only pretend to use the tools they have. The most expensive parts on this build will probably be that laptop holder and the sliders, other than that its all sheet metal, peg board, and some VERY basic wiring. Best of luck to you I was thinking the same thing, cool idea, dumb price.
Fools and their money will easily be parted, same people who buy over priced brand named shit that costs more to turn in the "lifetime warranty" than if they took care of their tools and just bought them from Harbor Freight or somewhere similar. But hey how would they brag to their fat asshole friends when drinking beer around the tools they never actually use if they don't have a shinny sticker on them, just wait till the RGB crazy hits the tool world and everything lights up like computer parts do now.
WOW!!! Talking about thanking outside the box guys. Who could not use this on a big job. Great video.
So, upon watching this video I decided to research this model box. While I haven't personally looked into it I can say with 100% certainty it won't sell! Well, you say "what do I know!" I'm a 53 year old heavy Equipment mechanic (road) doing it since I was 15, and I have 19 years as CM in the SeaBees (1 year to go!) reserves. Yes, 2 jobs in the industry. Bottom line is the price versus cubic storage. I have a MAC Maximizer with a side cabinet in my shop and the both cost around the same price as the big one. Only difference is my box can hold 4 times as much. Plus, when I move it it doesn't sound like a Pakistan jingle truck driving down the 6 ring! (Vets will get it!) For my money, I'll stick with, and recommend to young guys stay with horizontal storage for the money! A lot of flash I think!
Pakistan jingle trucks 😂🤣😂🤣💀☠💀 IYKYK Love it!
Got the jingle truck comment lol. 35+ years in Naval aviation (21 as active duty). This is not practical at all. It was designed by a mechanical engineer, not a mechanic. Appreciate your service brother.
@@misplacedhaole6726 the same to you!
As soon as she opened.... I want one! I got to have one!
Very nice, not fancy, efficient. Efficiency is Best. I like. Well done.
Was about to ask if it will be available in then UK but I just noticed below that its $17000 !!!!! Really nice but way out of my budget means, even at half that price!! Mentally I had pitched at around $4000 to $5000. So, my Snap-On roll cab and top box stays!
I would hate to work out of that I’ll keep my old craftsman
Where do you put your air tools? Your cut- off wheel, air drills, angle grinder, impact gun, etc.
With the slide out is just like two drawers of a big tool box. Not enough room for me but I do love this box. I would want this in my garage for small jobs
My Goodness talk about a “Beast of a Toolbox”. !!!! Very impressive…..
Its ok for some people but i don't think I would like all my tools on display like that but I work in a place that has a lot of people walking around the shop and it would be easy for something to disappear
Looks great for a shop environment, but not so much in the field.
I like it when she said you can see the tip of the tool
Nice design for certain applications. Professionally I will stick with a traditional cabinet with a nice large stainless top to use as a work bench and tool collection area. I would use this at home where space is tight, however I would never pay 17k for a home box, or my work box.
I’d like to see a folding roll cart on the back to be used as a work/desk surface. Just detach it and u got urself the ability to set tools down and roll specific tools somewhere else as well!
I would love to have it in my garage a lot of organization in a smallish space
Amazingly designed. Ultra useful.
Real cool lady presenter with a fabulous smile!
It’s like I’m seeing the future that I’m not ready to see yet
My Husky tools are going to LOVE it in there.
Seeing that box made my toes curl! 💙
I don’t even need to look how much this is I already know I’d have to take out a second mortgage for one of these. It’s an awesome toolbox you’ll have a new customer if I ever win the lottery.
I’m in the process of building my own tool box and this gave me some ideas. That’s a really cool tool box.
All it needs is a mini fridge for Beer 🍻
I like the design so much that I went to their website. It’s a very costly system, it’s 17K for the small one without all the accessories.
And how much is a snap on epiq box?
🤷🏻♂️
why are toolboxes so expensive in the States? I mean, you can built your own toolbox.. much bigger.. much more solid for much less money. $17k.. thats crazy
As a USAF Jet Engine Mechanic and FAA A & P Mechanic, we used to take metal cabinets example 5ft. H, 4ft.W, 2ft. D and adapt them into a similar tool box
$17,500 for the big one with the master tool system.
_YIKES!_
Love the idea of it and maybe in the future this is the norm
I'm too set into using my box as a desk as well to place tools,.parts, pens etc on
I’m a good 28 beers into my Friday night so let’s go!
Super cool custom box they came up with here! But that sounds so pricey for so little still. I work at a dealer and 9/10 techs including me have atleast a 2 bay+ main box and a roll cart for the sole purpose of having a tabletop or shelves on the carts, nothing handier than being able to set tools and parts down in order right next to you or to write estimates/supplements. I'm sure if they found a way to lower the development cost and implemented a shelf, or foldable worktop of some sort these would sell like hot cakes. Or maybe scale down for smaller more affordable versions.
this isnt meant for people like you to buy. this is for shops that purchase and control their own tools. this IS NOT a flat rate mechanics box. this is an aerospace or defense portable tool room.
Oh nice, standard and metric sockets on different sides, that makes storing left hand and right hand screwdrivers so much easier
Very cool set-up. Drawers are not efficient. I'm slowly getting my tools to where everything is visible.
Check out the Montezuma 36" box, I have one and it is the bomb for wrenches, ratchets, screwdrivers, sockets. Small footprint but holds a ton of stuff, while allowing you easy access. It was worth every penny.
I have the craft and sewing version made by another company. Unbelievable how much I can store. It used to store two sewing machines but I swapped out one for a Cricut. Very handy.
Details please, what’s the name of the company?
Neat idea.
The one thing that really stands out to me is how often she has to move that notebook PC out of the way. I can just see that getting broken with all that contact.
Would be nice if that could be tucked away and only deployed when needed.
First thing I noticed
I’ll just start with, I couldn’t put 1/4 of my sockets in that, my epiq holds all my tools and won’t be wobbly rolling across a floor, good box for a starter set.
Still 2 hands?
@@jtrawson1559 Not all shops have that nice floor we all want. Roll that thing over an airhose and that's a bad day.
@@geraldhull5241 I started in a steel mill repair machine shop. They had nothing. In fact, you weren’t even allowed to have a rollaway. The machines were “pre ark.” The favorite saying there was:
We’ve had so little for so long, now we can do anything with nothing.
I worked in the McDonnell Douglas Engineering Lab and Model Shop. The equipment was also antique and worn out. I moved away for a few years. They asked me to come back as management. There was nobody in management who had machine shop experience. The machinist wanted better equipment and tooling. So, I studied the shops, what we needed and the whole procurement and budgeting systems. So, it took a while. There had been a request for new machines in for several years. The budget was insufficient and the equipment they asked was nonsense and had little to do with what the shop required. So, I made a plan and did a whole new shop rearrangement, that had to be done in phases dure to budgets. I also wrote a paper on the needs MDAC were facing and what it would take to bring the shop in line with their needs. The budgets were still minimal. So, I ordered the machines without tooling. That way we got more machines with the same dollars. Tooling department “Had To” furnish us with tooling - not from our budgets. I found a building with Lista Cabinets - thousands of new - still in the box - cabinets. Nobody seemed to know who they belonged to. I got a truck and a new cabinet for all the machines. I found cleaning equipment for the floors - daily and found that maintenance had to clean the floors every 6 months - they hadn’t done them in years. Found a stuff called “sudsdown cleaner” that was the strongest stuff I’ve seen to date. Eventually we had a damn nice shop - to be proud of. I’m old now, but still have a really good tool box. But I hurt too damn much to do anything.
That’s actually pretty neat. I could use that in my home garage. At work idrk maybe someone with multiple boxes, This might come in handy for. Gets rid of the old roll cart
Ryan Menke, 35 year dealer. Great for race car shops. But I want to see one, set up similar to a krl10003 with a stainless workbench surface on top.
Ah yes a magnet on the back of a laptop... Perfect. That's good for em.
Apparently is hasn’t killed her laptop yet?
This would be ideal for a racing trailer. Leave it on the trailer or take it out.
3:19 doesnt look like those plastic things a going to be around to long , she does a good job of trying to hide it
Gave my wife my wallet after watching this. Trying to save for Christmas. I did the whole “we got a ‘family car lift’,” didn’t go well. I think the family took box would go over just as well. 😆
Hahaha
The sad part is you could buy several car lifts for the price of this tool box!!! Ridiculous!
That tool box is the sweetest system I have ever seen. I can't afford it, but if I was a professional mechanic, or shop owner, I'd do what I'd have to in order to have one of these in my shop..
I feel like that would be super handy in a commerical kitchen.
I could fit 1/4 of my stuff in that. Good for a starter set or a shop owned set or a garage set but for the full time been doing it 10 plus years guy I don’t see a use
These are very cool and extremely expensive the box in the video sells for over $18000 without any add ones that said if I had that kind of money I'd buy one
The box is nice but it seems like it does not beat a traditional toolbox as far as use of space. That’s a big box and not that many tools fit in it really. It does look cool I’ll give it that.
Not as many tools overall, but probably more tools accessable without having to move other tools out of the way or open a case inside a drawer. Better accessibility physically and visually was their goal, which I think they've done a decent job with.
@@mattspevak7944 not trying to argue with you but not really actually. Sockets and wrenches which is what is mostly in that box are usually tools that are in their own drawers. And are already pretty easily accessible. But you brought up a good point a mechanic always has a lot of tools with blowmolded cases. Where would you put those on this thing? Pliers would also take up a lot of real estate in this thing?
@@billybob6469 Very true. All of that. I also think this system lacks flexibility compared to a normal toolbox. I buy a new type of pliers and just throw them in the drawer with all the other ones. Done. This or any shadow foam type system you end up spending a lot of time adding tools and often have to compromise on their location because the system is too rigid. Things often end up somewhere because they fit, rather than being located where they make sense. Definitely not an ideal system for me, or even close, but I do see applications where this could be useful and better than a traditional box. I'm in boxes largely for corrosion prevention due to coastal moisture and I'm curious how well this unit seals when closed.
Um yeah.....No. At $17,300 for the little one then add $595.95 for a tablet holder you can get on Amazon for $69? A fool and their money soon part. Almost makes me want to buy a new Snap On to save some cash. And I detest Snap-On! lol Cool System, but woefully overpriced. Thanks for sharing Koon! Just shows, there's something for everyone. Especially those with more money than sense. Zip~
This lady is really smart....this may possibly be the most well thought out tool storage for ANY situation or job! Clay really knows how to find some cool one off items!!
This is some defense contractor level stuff.
Pretty Cool!
Super wow I love it
I love innovation in tools
This Box is the One 🔥
I see this as being useful to a shop that wants to provide a community tool box to like lube techs or something
Need to put the socket trays on slides
First thing I learned in (USAF) aviation is you don't need that many tools. Small kits that are job specific are much more sane, and take up WAY less space than trying to have one of everything. I replicated that at home. All the odd sizes are off in a box under my bench if for some odd reason I ever need them.
Our box for helicopter maintenance in the Army was tiny also, I can respect the idea of this from my own garage and a few rolling toolboxes (hell I might keep the idea in mind if I ever want to build my own), but the the cost its ONLY for budgets like military where the people buying don't actually care about the waste of money because its someone elses.
All depends on what you do. If you are very specific then a few tools will do. If you want to do a bit of everything? Then what's needed will be much much larger. Even with just vehicles, if you specialize in one make of car, one model of car, then you may need very few tools to be very effective. But branch out into others and you will need more.
Overall the more general you are, the more you will need.
For most people I suggest just buying a basic tool kit, and add to it as needed. If you work on something that requires a specific tool that can't easily be rented, or you may need to use it multiple times, then buy it.
When you only are working on a set amount of vehicles that's fine, but if your in automotive with dozens of manufacturers and 100s of different models that change every year, you need a lot of tools
@@ocpimport7935 Yes and no. Tool manufactures will try to convince you that you need every size of wrench, socket, etc but to work on a typical vehicle you may need 4 sizes to do 90% of the work and maybe another 4 more along with a dozen specialty items to do the rest.
That holds true for pretty much any category of vehicle.
It is cheaper these days to just buy the specific sizes you need as you encounter them than to go drop big $$$ on large everything sets and even more on extremely pricy roll arounds to organize them.
Try tractor trailer and hd diesel. I can fill 3 of these fairly easy.
Mob Armor is who makes that magnetic mount for the laptop/tablet, those are killer and I use the smaller ones cell phone holders all over my shop/house/vehicles
That would be nice at the race track in a trailer.
I’ve been a diesel mechanic for 30+ years, and I have at least an 8 year college degree invested in my tools and boxes. Plural, BOXES.
I’d need at least 3 of those to store everything I have.
Not to mention some of the shop floors I’ve worked in and how massively work they were.
I can see this thing tipping over and come crashing down on someone’s $200k+ rig !
Try explaining THAT to the customer and your boss.
My snap on tool box is stable, very well built, holds way more than that, and cost just about the same amount.
You get what you pay for guys. Sure, the general tool boxes you can get for a fraction of the price will do the same job, it’s just tool storage right ?
But it isn’t going to hold up near as long. Weight distribution, uneven floors, and abuse in general, I’ve seen the cheap boxes literally break at the welds due to stuff like that.
$17k for a locker ? I’ll pass
Well shoots...
That's one hell of a great idea for the industry and though I'd like to say it'll never work, the fact is that it's exactly what I need for my limited workspace at the shop...
It’s really cool and it moves so easily being as loaded down as it is
I feel like it's a roll cart. Because it's not big enough to hold everything you'll ever need. But will hold way more stuff than a normal roll cart will.
This thing is top heavy, I see it falling over quite easily.
Wow, that's the best I've ever seen! Totally ingenious!
Not gonna lie… that thing holds a ton of tools. Great design idea
That's very impressive . Reminds me of custom made cabinets I used to install for people.
Excellent design. Good thing I'm a metal fabricator. I'm going to make a similar box for my most common metal work necessities.
Maybe you should build a knockoff for the poor man out here. Incorporate a system that can integrate an off the shelf slide to customize to your needs.
For 16k$ I think there isn't enough usable space.
Very nice box, don't get me wrong, but for the price there are better storage options out there.
Yep, about the price of a SO Epiq 68" with half the storage.
Wally's head would explode, he was way too used to disorganization. My only concern with this tool box, is that it looks like it shares something in common with train cars. They are narrow, tall and heavy, which means, it has a high center of gravity, and if there is enough weight shift, for any reason, it's tipping over.
That is one awesome tool box. Definitely one of the best organization systems I've seen.
Awesome idea, only problem I see is using in a shop with a rough or uneven floor, I could see it being tipsy in the right conditions.
Same problem any other rolling cart has. If you got a damaged floor or like to work on your car in the great outdoors maybe this isn't for you.
If I didn't have tools in storage casings I'd consider this. Definitely built for professional use.
That thing is surely gonna be top heavy pushing it around... especially on not perfect concrete...or am I missing something?
I’d choose this over a snap on roll cart, 17k for this thing but it’s worth it in my eyes
That thing is awesome!
