I've had a number of people that have asked for a more in depth look at how I set up my tool trailer. I am currently getting ready for a job, so I took the opportunity to capture some video of my setup.

I really respect that this trailer is not just about the work, but also has a fridge and microwave. Can’t work well if you can eat right

@@txtoolcrib Im 1 year late with comment but someone will read it. There are electric lunch boxes now on site from Ch;na. It closes fully, metal plate, and you just connect it to power and it will heat food very well. Its also not expensive, 35 euros. Its really good for workers on field.

Watched it a few times. Gave me the idea to get a small 10 or 15 ft conex box and do a similar set up. Would make life a lot easier to have secure storage on-site out of the elements. Awesome set up.

I was wondering if you would do a video on your recommendation for tools everyone should have at their house for basic repairs, in the car for emergencies, and maybe if they want to start their own metal/wood/DIY shop in the garage etc. I myself have been thinking about buying some more tools for the house but I'm not sure what would really cover all the basics. I have a hodge podge of things, but finally bought a decent sized tool chest. I want to fill it up, but with things we'll actually use consistently not just random socket sets, Dewalt batteries and whatever else.

Wow...the neatest thing about your set-up is that you know how to use everything in it...do you have occasion to do maintenance on your tools & equipment? I imagine when you pack everything up you follow similar principles that are used on cargo planes...there is a "panel" on the right-hand side next to your ladders...is that a door? Good video!

Great setup. How do you keep track of the tools at a site? Do you put everything back on the trailer at night?
@txtoolcrib Жыл бұрын
Everything in center isle is locked up out on location, the remaining tools get locked in the trailer at night. In rare instances when we are on an unsecured site, everything gets reloaded or we rent a separate storage unit to lock things up.

I was quite surprised to see a dearth of items and support for same for cameras, memory cards, chargers & other impedimentia associated with your KZfaq videos..?! How and where DO you store snd transport these items? I'm certainly NO mill-wright, but as a retired I/T geek I'm enough of an applied technologist to know that ther's plenty enough of the items mentioned tp fill a sizeable % of that trailer. Also, what do you do for I/Net connectivity, as well as general admin. space when working out of the trailer? All that asked, I'm moved to observe that you've obviousy put MUCH thought into a damn nice rig...!
