Thanks! I just used random foam I had laying around, it worked perfectly!

I like it, too, but in a humid environment it will probably hold moisture and cause the tools to rust. 😢 Ask me how I know...

@@iFixJunkJust use some insulation foam like the one used on AC lines, problem solved.

​@@DownloaderVideoclosed cell foam

@@Kraken_Kouhaikaizen foam!

Glad to help! The best thing to do is empty it completely and re-fill it and when it’s full find somewhere else for the access tools. I have a box where I keep extra stuff that way the main toolbox stays clean. And you have to develop the habit of putting everything back where it goes. That will help a lot

Ha thanks man I definitely appreciate it !

Thanks for the knowledge i appreciate it! I love using old tools of all kinds even if I dont know what they were originally made for! Haha

@@therowdyz those tweezers are also very similar to ones you use for those Audi and Mercedes lug stud covers

@@jessechavez7320 ha interesting. may come in handy some day haha

@@therowdyz yeah I use a shorter version of that for removing those. Came in a kit I bought for euro car lug stud caps. But whatever you use it for it will be used alot

As soon as I saw it I came here to say that and I see you beat me to it by several months. :)

Thanks I appreciate that especially coming from a real mechanic!

thanks guy i appreciate it! I agree the big boxes are nice but hard to keep organized and hard to roll around the shop when needed. ill probably end up with 2 of these boxes and set them up for different things instead of 1 big box

@@therowdyzFor sure, I’m debating whether to get that sexy gray color or the green. Ended up with the green because it matches my 2 low Profile floor jacks lol

@@thewiseguy7100 lol nice. the grey is pretty sweet but i like the Kawasaki green. reminds me of my childhood haha!

Use the big tool box for specialty tools. Use the small one for a service cart. I added a side box and used to build an oil change drawer, body panel work, and brake jobs drawer. Each task has its own drawer for easy access. Also, there is one for battery maintenance and testing. Shop tekton clearance page for bargains and build slowly. HF has power tool mag base and mine is mounted on the back, batteries in the bottom tray. Look for Gearwrench on sale and build quality to set slowly. TSC carries them.

Thanks a lot man I appreciate that coming from a veteran!!

thanks! love the FJ's i shouldve got one years ago haha!!

Nice! yeah it took me over a year to get the box looking how i want. it takes a while to get the setup dialed in depending on how youll use the box which everyones use is a little different. thats a good idea though i would like to have a bigger box for overflow tools and more specialty things i use less often. Thanks for the comment!

Hey thanks Randy i appreciate the comment! I will definitely take your advice! Im always trying to learn and get better

Yes highly recommend a couple of deadblow hammers! I agree once you've used one you'll want one. The nice thing is they don't bounce and transfer all of the energy to whatever you're hitting. Tekton has excellent deadblows (I think they're actually rebranded from "Trusty-Cook" brand, made in USA!) Definitely get at least one ballpeen and one regular soft-face polyurethane one. Harbor Freight's soft face deadblows aren't bad either if you want to save a few bucks. I'd go with a 39 or 45 oz soft face and a 26 or 36 oz ball peen type. Use the soft deadblow on anything you don't want to mar-it's way better than a rubber mallet that bounces off everything and doesn't have enough weight to it. And use the ball peen on anything that would mess up the soft-face one. I personally own a 45 oz soft, 36 oz ball peen, and a 21 oz soft face, and I think that's the perfect set for most home DIY and auto wrenching. Nice video otherwise!

@@andrewmacleod620 awesome thanks for the advise! I was actually looking into getting at least one of each but I didnt know what size. I will definitely take your recommendation and get one of each probably the Tekton brand. They seem to be good quality for a decent price. Thanks again!

@@andrewmacleod620 I believe you are absolutely correct on the rebranding from Tekton. Those Cook brand hammers are as good as any on the market and better than 99% of all the others. Only reason they are not 100% is because my Snap Ons. Not necessarily better but equally as good. But when figuring in the cost I would buy them all day long. I agree with your assessment of sizes. I own a few more but very seldom use them. Those rubber mallets are only fit for body work really. They do very well by not marring the finish. Lol, if you do decide to use force and a hard object be prepared to duck the rebound. Stay strong brothers.

oh my gosh thats genius!! I should have thought of that haha!

thanks! my thoughts exactly

Thanks man i appreciate it! and hell yeah bondhus for life i may buy a 2nd set to keep in the truck haha

Haha they're not a necessity but they're definitely nice to have! especially for teardowns

Thanks! I would go Harbor freight either this box or the one with drawers all the way down. Cant go wrong!

Ha thanks a lot! some people dont like the white but I love it! that sounds like a solid plan !

Nice that’s awesome!! Had no idea

Thank you sir I appreciate that!

I always look for classic USA Craftsman tools when I yard or estate sales. Japanese tools from late 70’s and 80’s are high quality also. It seems we will witness the resurgence of kids getting in trouble for losing or abusing “the screwdriver” like when I was a kid in the 60’s because tools were expensive compared to the flood of cheap Chinese tools available for the last 15 years or so.

yeah that sucks! time to hit the antique store haha!

@@therowdyz well my wife’s aunt who has no kids has her late husbands craftsman tools. She has said she is giving me them one day. We will see lol

Thanks! and nice thats a good setup!

Thanks I appreciate the comment!

Thanks a lot Andrew! that's a great idea to put the torque wrenches in there. and nice I will definitely add the drawer liner to stuff doesn't roll around constantly. Thanks for the ideas!!

Nice ! I told myself I would get better tools when the ryobi stuff dies but it hasnt yet and its been like 5 or 6 years! just had to buy a couple new batteries

nice! glad to hear they hold up to daily use for someone who uses them a lot!

correct. a household belt is a great idea especially for hanging pictures on walls and fixing odd ball things around the house. i also like the tool rolls people have specifically for that purpose or for a truck kit with specific tools to the vehicle. thanks for watching!

Thanks appreciate it!

Thanks! The box with drawers all the way down is real nice for having more stuff in it but it’s a bit pricier and a bit more heavy. This one is easy to move around as well!

Thanks appreciate it !

thanks dude! foam for everything haha

Haha thanks man! Right on thats a good kit. i love the white box, its something different and it looks super clean and fresh haha

I have the white box as well, couple years old now. Have you found anything good, convenient to clean it with? Tried wax and grease remover, not great, just spread it around.

@@movaughn20 i mainly use simple green and if that doesnt work then rubbing alcohol. but i keep the toolbox waxed with spray carnuba wax (same as you would a car) so it stays pretty clean and wipes up easily! that a good trick i forgot to mention in the video

Thanks! yes i have haha probably too much!

Thanks bro! Do work!!

Thanks i appreciate that! Great to know my video is helping people

Thanks Jeff appreciate it

nice! those are some nice blades you got there, I love the old case stuff!

Thanks dude! appreciate it

Haa I have heard good things about sonic but never used anything from them. Next time I need something ill check them out!

@@therowdyz of course, i rappresent Sonic in Italy........good product Bro!!!!

Ha thanks! I actually have one of those now

Hell yeah thanks man! A box is a box it’s more about what you do with it! Rock on bro

Thanks dude!

thanks i definitely appreciate it!

Thanks! I totally agree!

HA seriously!! The most important tool you have is your eyes !

haha Thanks! i just used whatever random foam i had that was pretty firm. works perfect

@@therowdyz this is true bro. I have the same cart and was kinda frustrated with the fact that my tools on the side clang around so much every time I move it somewhere. I’m gonna try this. Thanks for the video bro. Keep up the good work. 👍

@@s0la.scr1ptura Thanks brother i appreciate it! take care

thanks rob!

definitely! i wear the heatwave future tech's every day!

nice i may add that at some point

Nice I will probably do the same! Everything just rolls around on it and annoys me haha

Nice thats always fun setting up a new box!!

HA !! thanks i appreciate it

its annoying but it helps big time in the long run!

thanks Tom!

Haha thanks dude! Labels are legit in whatever style you like it makes a huge difference when people help you out.

haha really nice i didnt know that! not much of an electronics guy myself, that one came from my grandpa

thanks! do it! love seeing peoples setup, i watched basically every toolbox video on youtube before making this one haha!

Thanks dude!!

Hell yeah i agree!

Thanks dude! stay tuned for a video on a truck tool set, and a video on my new diy beginners welding cart!

Nice that would be a good simple setup!

Haha nice I didn't know that!

Thanks man! i love the old craftsman boxes and tools, thats a bummer about yours getting stolen. Its hard to find quality american made tools now a days and when you do theyre often far too expensive for me. Your exactly right tho USA made is the way to go which is why i like the new Tekton stuff a lot especially for the price!

Hey, I don't have a garage to do my work. I usually work outside on the dirt or grassy area. Do you think those wheels can go over anything?

@@themachamp6015 Not how i have it setup, i put bigger castors from home depot on it but it wont even roll over a ziptie. I would recommend using an off road wheel maybe for a wheel barrow or something like that

@@therowdyz Thanks for the response. You sold me with the Allen wrenches. I been looking for a a good set all this time. I will give them a try.

@@themachamp6015 oh yeah those Bondhus are the way to go i would 100% go with those. theyre not that expensive either

Thanks! thats the best mod on the whole box haha!!

Yeah I’d recommend those or the knipex brand if you’re gonna be using them a lot. Most Pittsburgh brand tools like wrenches pliers and sockets won’t hold up for someone that uses them daily

HA yeah probably not as most of them are made in china unfortunately. at least its shiny lol

I did the same as a sears, mall mini store? Curious if they toss them or built up and rebuilt. I'd buy them back...

@@movaughn20 i was told they collect the old ones and toss them :/ not cost effective to rebuild

Haha damn really! thats cool thanks for letting me know. my grandpa passed down a lot of his tools to me and i dont even know what some of them are

Thanks dude!

Thanks anthony!

@@therowdyz I post a video on the same box if you want to check it out

@@anthonyvaldez1052 nice i will forsure !

thanks, and good idea! when i get more wrenches ill probably go to that system! i was thinking of getting some crows foot wrenches too here soon. never used them but seems useful in certain situations

Ha once I get it looking halfway decent maybe! Its filled with building materials and half done projects at the moment haha!

haha Thanks bro! and i like pegboard for woodworking tools and shop stuff, I may make a video about that too at some point

yup. one of the benefits of having shitty/cheap tools! haha

thanks! I got it from home depot or lowes.. i like it better because it doesnt lock in the sockets so its easier and faster to grab them and put them back

HA exactly. and wow okay i didnt know it was pronounced bessel thats good to know!

That would be sick! send me an email

HA I dont even want to know what snap on feels like haha! gotta stay cheap

@@therowdyz then try a harbor freight icon ratchet

@@jeffreyling6616 Hmm I might if you think theyre much better! never used the icon stuff either because I dont know about it

Ha really? i'll have to try those next time i need a set!

Ha your right. thats one of the benefits of using the new 90 point ratchets! I do switch occasionally when needed

the old craftsman tools are made in the US and are good quality, but like most tool companies they have now outsourced to china... the old ones are good though they feel nice and solid0. i have a couple from the 80s that are still perfectly good

thanks! no that was one of my dads numbers when he raced off road!

Look up harbor freight 5 drawer toolbox. Mins is a couple inches taller because I changed out the castors

I agree that the designs are much better now but the quality of steel and quality control at the factories have gone down. And yes the sloppiness is from having fewer teeth.. sometimes the teeth sheer off and cause slipping similar to a cars transmission

@@therowdyz yeah I only switched to a I think 80tooth ratchet in the past 5 years. What a world of difference. I also have a few 1/4” craftsman ratchets that have broken teeth.

@@montanawhite5699 nice. yeah ive even heard of helicopter mechanics using 160 tooth rachets before haha! id like to try one of those bad boys out just for fun

theyre from home depot, I like them because you can see the size easily and theyre easy to grab and put back.

Got it - Thanks @@therowdyz

nice! ill have to upgrade to some icon stuff here soon

I went with the 5" polyurethane castors from home depot as they are much better quality then harbor freight. They also set the box a little bit higher which I like

Yes it does. The tekton brand screwdrivers fit perfectly as well as the smaller pry bars.

Yep!! I keep it up most of the time and use it to hold stuff I’m working on but it folds down for transport and to take up less space in the shop!

Thanks man, the trick is to use a plastic razor blade to remove the sticker, then the residue left behind you have to just rub really hard with your thumb and it will come off perfectly with no scratches. You cant even tell they were ever there!

Kool, THANK YOU Man! 💯 I’m assuming with that same plastic scraper, I can remove the emblem too right?

@@jorgea.cuevas5452 possibly but you might bend it... I would use some fishing line or dental floss to go behind the emblem and basically saw it back and forth to cut thru the adhesive. then use the scaper for the leftover residue

i did, they originally come with 2 locking ones and 2 non swivel, non locking ones. i replaced all four with heavier duty locking swivel castors from home depot. much better quality then harbor freight

HAHA nice! after talking to people such as yourself I realized I dont really need it, but nice to have in case its something valuable or the screw is stuck or something

Yes it does. But you can actually remove the linkage inside the box to allow it to open when the top is closed but i didnt do that because then you cant lock the drawers. pros and cons to both i suppose.

I went with the 5" polyurethane castors from home depot as they are much better quality then harbor freight. They also set the box a little bit higher which I like
