Hell yeah, that's when having a place for everything pay off - you can efficiently straighten-up the van by pulling the mess out, throwing away the trash, and then putting everything else back where it goes. I can't wait till next year when I'm out of my old hand-me-down van and into a new one that I can set up right.

i see your fitting box is one of those Milwaukee boxes, I picked up 3 of them at Home Depot, they run like 20 bucks apiece here. Excellent fitting or hardware box, I use one for copper, one for braas, and one for misc fasteners/screws/washers. No matter how small , the fittings will not "swim" from bin to bin, the clear lid is designed to fit snugly to the tops of the individual bins and it works great. Best 20 dollars a guy can spend. Love those aluminum boxes, Ive never seen those, that makes for a nice setup. Still miss the old Vangina!
@jeffhall29585 жыл бұрын
Love your long pull boxes, if I could only convince my boss to get those for my van! One thing I saw that I don't see many carrying in So Cal is the powerhead assortment that you carry from Sporlan. I wish more guys carried them, because Sporlan makes their valves like tanks, and usually only require a powerhead replacement, not the entire valve. Yes valves do go bad on occasion, but not as often as my company thinks they do. Heck my company wants us to replace the TXV's every time we change out a compressor, what a waste of time and energy. I personally don't, why overcharge the customer for something he/she doesn't need. Just use proper piping/silver soldering practice and it doesn't need to be replaced. Love your vid's man!

similar to what my carpenter buddies and their relatives did years ago, except they built the drawers/raised floor out of lumber/plywood and all the tools/small materials went in the drawers, then they could haul "tons" of large materials on the raised floor above, they of course used full size/extended 1 ton vans and box trucks. the diamond plate sure looks better though lol.
