Post a Pic of your Garage Setup and/or Toolboxes

[DMP]

I made this kinda thread on another forum. It was pretty cool to see what others had and to get some ideas. If you wanna show off some tools, go ahead.

I have this Snap On tool cart.

I just bought something similar to this. But its more black, and not yellow. I found it at Home Depot for about $30. I put all my electrical tools/supplies in it....stuff I would use on a car.

And right now, im redesigning my wooden work bench. Im gonna make it shorter (made it too long originally) and im putting locking wheels on it, so I can move it. I dont have a big garage so I have to be able to move the toolboxes and work bench.

i would but my dad currently has a chevy nova and a ford bronco 2 in ours trying to get them rebuilt :( tools are everywhere haha

[chevybrat]

I don't have a garage :( but will soon have a driveway and a carport :D

My dad was going to give my brother a blue point toolbox but since the only thing my brother is into is video games, he decided to give it to me. Now I just need to fill it with tools...hehehe...


I know this is nothin compared to the setup the majority of you all probably have hahaha but I figured it would give you all a good laugh. Plus, ya gotta start somewhere ... and I think the fact i'm a girl with a toolbox alone oughta say something :rolleyes:

Nah, I don't have one.... but I borrow my folks 2 car garage when they go out of town :3gears:

[Mikz86TA]

Hahahahahaha!! Thats awesome MYKK !!! DMP, Snap On luvs you doesnt he. I got no pics but alot of crap. Most are up at the shop and a few make it here when Im doing a project.

[Hammer Head]

Nobody would believe what I have even if I had pix, well Eric would.. garage is such a mess right now. I want to build my own work area instead of runnin around the whole garage to do things, but that would require I move the stuff that has taken 50yrs to accumilate in my grandma's garage. Hey, who's up for a garage sale? I've got a bunch of thermos-style coolers & some camping stuff.

[The Enemy]

ok, so i roll all luxury compared to some, it seems...
my garage (the one i work in) is an 8 stall building, insulated with loor heat, two hanging funaces, a 2 post lift, a torch and two welders, an 11,000 pound workbench (thats not a typo, we weighed it b4 we put it upright, took a crane) and a 25 foot wall of toolboxes. yes, ill get pictures...
the other garage (the one where i park the cars and stuff) is a simple 24x24, i do some work in it, nothing much. but soon im moving and going to be upgrading to a garage twice this size!

[rentedmule]

here's mine. my tool collection isn't great but I've got a nice socket set, electric impact gun, and a cheap floor jack and stands now so I'm running out of excuses not to do things myself :p . The canopy (or cap or whatever you call it) takes up alot of room but I don't have anywhere else to store it and i'm certainly not putting it on the truck!

[Everfalling]

if you aren't going to put it on the truck then sell it......lol

[rentedmule]

I needed it for moving last year and will probably need again sometime soon... god I hate driving trucks with caps on them though!!

I know this is nothin compared to the setup the majority of you all probably have hahaha but I figured it would give you all a good laugh. Plus, ya gotta start somewhere ... and I think the fact i'm a girl with a toolbox alone oughta say something :rolleyes:


You gotta start somewhere! Better than what I started with - a plastic craftsman tool box with a bunch of mix-matched 'hand-me-down' tools from my dad and brothers.

This is what my garage looks like now... the only stuff on the Baja's side is it's parts. The other side has an engine stand, plasma cutter (freebie from work! :D ) the jacks and jackstands and an old, sludgy TH350.

Thats what my tool box at work looks like, because i don't have any tools in it, just empty caliper and micromerter boxes. I just borrow everybody elses tools. Good thing too, somebodies tool box got stolen at the end of the summer, thats Detroit for you.

[DMP]

Hahahahahaha!! Thats awesome MYKK !!! DMP, Snap On luvs you doesnt he. I got no pics but alot of crap. Most are up at the shop and a few make it here when Im doing a project.

Eh.....Snap On makes great tools, but everything is expensive. :eek: I use to have an account with Snap On....a truck would stop by my work and I could just buy tools off of it. I could spend a couple hundred and just pay the guy $20 a week until its paid off. Its not bad if you do it that way.

[87wildside]

Here are some pics of my shop (Grandmom's garage..haha). I have to organize it and make a good work bench after the frame swap. I don't have any room as you can see from my bed hanging from the ceiling.

if it aint bolted down... someone in the D is gonna jack it....

Maybe you can get one of the Nerf Motion activated Auto-Cannon's they used to have over at thinkgeek.com and zap em with nerf darts when they get near...

Rabid (or just large) rot's chained to your toolbox work well too :P

Chopper... sic balls... heh

or you could get a couple grand in the hole with the snap on guy and still pay that much. Ive spent around 10k in the last year on tools, ill try and get a pic of the crap i own tomorrow

[Mikz86TA]

Ill get a pic tomorrow of my garage tomorrow. No room eh? Im rebuilding the 700R4 in there. Tight!

[Laxmonster54]

Do I win??

[Hammer Head]

For what? I've got a little tv in the garage, too. haha I've got the plasma cutter, welder, compressor, drill press, 56" tool chest that stands about 60" high, 2 grinders, a sanding station, 2 engine stands (both in use), 2 cherry pickers (one needs to go back to my mom's house), chop saw, tubing/pipe bender good to 2.25/2.5" (IDK remember which right now).. etc,etc. I'd take some pix but like I said the garage is a mess.. I also don't think I have enough space for the picture attachments.

[87wildside]

I should get my engine hoist and drill press today. More crap to try to fit in.

[20Xtreme02]

Here's a couple of walls in my garage. The garage is plumbed for air with the compressor sitting in the garden shed. Most of the tools in the box are SK. My dad bought be an SK socket set as a teen and I haved stayed with them over the years. They're good quality and have a life-time guarantee. There's a fair amount of racing memorbilia from our years of racing. It's the perfect man-cave for me. :)

[87wildside]

I want your cart!

[Hammer Head]

Those are pretty neat. One of my friend's neighbors had one & was doin 90mph up & down the street w/ it.

[20Xtreme02]

The kart is an 80cc shifter set up for road racing. Its great fun and does a little over 90 MPH on its own but has hit 104 in the draft!

[boxcarracer963]

i would be scared goin that fast in something that small

[Hammer Head]

Ever drive a Miata? hahaha

[87wildside]

[boxcarracer963]

[Hammer Head]

I loved my miata.. oh, I miss it so much.. haha. Seriously though, it was a pretty kick ass little car.

[boxcarracer963]

lol i had a little car i used to do e-brake slides in that was my fun since it was deathly slow

[DMP]

Ok so I posted a pic of my toolbox in my 1st post, but I didnt post a pic of the work bench I made. I had to redesign it from the 1st time and ill probably do it again later. Here it is. I put locking wheels on the bottom so I can roll the bench if I need to.

And I got this a few weeks ago. Got it for free...it was a bonus for me for working hard. Its Blue Point and came with open end wrenches too....you just cant see it in the pic.
