US General 26 Toolbox Tour for the new automotive tech or advanced diy'er
This is a re-edit of a previously posted 90minute tour stripped of most commentary.

[@garykolbo7228]

Your the KING of organization. I have many of the same tools but mine are stacked on each other. Thanks for posting your tool box tour. I enjoyed every minute watching.

[@Jaspel]

Glad to help. Getting to this point has been a process and I have plenty of other specialty and spares in other boxes.

[@danymitehazard]

@@Jaspel yes you are a king of tool organization, so please where did you get those drawer organizer plastic red boxes?

[@upsidedowndog1256]

Wow! Quite the selection. You can do almost anything with that setup.

[@Jaspel]

Jack of all trades syndrome.

[@MarzNet256]

Excellent. I just examined the hf 26" base and cabinet (series 2) and was blown away by the dimensions for the price. I also love the thin drawer format. Studying auto mechanics for DIY application. One of the best overviews of the tools needed I've seen.

[@dougsweldingfabrication953]

Nice setup.... Looks like you have most areas covered. Thanks for sharing

[@mikecooper4066]

this was very helpful. Thanks! I have been considering this 26 in tool box and this helped me get an idea if all my tools would fit

[@JDMJACOB1]

Well organized! I thought I needed a bigger box, you proved me wrong!!

[@Jaspel]

Thanks! Please consider subscribing, it really helps small channels like mine.

[@neilmays6744]

Everything looks so new

[@ThriftyGarage]

Very well organized and packed tool box! 👍

[@eightpenny6379]

Clean and well organized. I like all the small containers

[@dillontracy3132]

Great box, love the organization. Some neat tools I didn't even know about, that's why I watch tours. Came to the comments to ask about the bins, good find on those and just ordered myself a set. Really like how you keep your tools clean to boot. I catch shit about mine being like new as well. i just take care of them and never put them back dirty lol.

[@Jaspel]

Thanks, www.schallercorporation.com/ also on ebay

[@TheBostonTom]

This box is set up perfectly! Your using every little bit of space. I have the 46" box and I'm always looking for more space somehow.

[@robcrossan6274]

I really like the organization here. It's set up well. I just upgraded from a series 1 two bank to the 72 inch, with locker and cabinet. Even now I still have to organize things to fit all my stuff in there. I've worked with guys who didnt seem to understand if you just take the time to organize, most of the time you dont need a bigger box, the space is there. lol. Also, had to order that fuse buddy to try it out. Looks like a very helpful tool for 30 bucks

[@vuhuynh702]

the nicest toolbox I have ever seen.

[@jddenson435]

Very nice and organized box

[@asmautollc]

Very nice layout and organization.

[@Jaspel]

Thanks!

[@OneMechanic]

Definitely a nice setup. Just subscribed

[@sethh8892]

I know you clearly don't like buying off the tool trucks, but there's one set of pliers off the Snap-on truck you'll absolutely need if you're working on small things. The Snap-on 5-in ignition pliers. Best little pliers I've ever had. They've got me out of so many jams.

[@Jaspel]

I'll check it out. No good truck options for me.

[@sethh8892]

@@Jaspel yup, I've used them for everything and always left my paycheck rely on their ability to work!

Nice Collection Man

[@Jaspel]

Thanks for the view

[@roccos7502]

Nice collection of tools, you could fix any car. I actually like your setup more than a 44" us general.

[@beardedtoolreviews7185]

You should make a video about where you got the bins so you don’t have to answer the same question 100 times. Lol awesome video

[@Jaspel]

I had :D

[@thebackwoodsmechanic5029]

Great set up dude.. keep the content coming. Dewalt does have bigger sizes its just a Matter of finding them at Rural King or farm & fleet stores

[@Jaspel]

Thanks, I think the issue was that they don't have the same length profile past 22mm.

[@50sKid]

I know where the red plastic bins are from, but where can I find those taller white ones?

[@Jaspel]

I found them at a surplus industrial outlet style store. Think they are something along the lines of assembly or warehouse bins.

[@50sKid]

@@Jaspel Bins of that style are so impossible to find outside of Schaller!

[@Jaspel]

@@50sKid Right? I've seen a few things like uline parts bins with thin walls and refrigerator organizers, but noting great.

[@carlossandoval2974]

Daaaaaamnnnnnn nice new tools. You could do a bunch of things if only you used them!.....

[@maloosecat123]

Great video but where do I find those red, plastic, drawer organizers?

[@Jaspel]

schaller bins on amazon, ebay, or their website. not cheap

[@alonzohollingsworth7712]

I may have missed it but what's your opinion on the toolbox? Are the wheels locking, swivels , ball bearings. The drawers are they bearing sliders, what are the weight capacities? Thanks for the tool tour.

[@Jaspel]

It's good for the money. However the price has gone up and they have multiple oems making it for them. For that reason I wouldn't trust them to be consistent. Mine are fine. I have 3 or 4, oldest of which I pushed around as a service cart for a couple of a years that was completely overloaded and lasted fine. There is only a single set of sliders per drawer where something better like a lista or the tekton have a much better weight rating. They are good ball bearings- guessing 50lbs is the drawer rating which is typical. Perhaps the full drawer service cart they came out with recently would be a better option today if you need it to last mobile. If it's sitting in one spot 100% go for it.

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

Hello Jaspel This has nothing to do with the current subject. But how did you connect your various tool boxes together? And would they hold up to be loaded/unloaded by a forklift? As a Aircraft Mechanic a lot of my jobs are as a Subcontractor to another company. So jobs Come and Go. I find myself moving from place to place or hanger and aircraft. What the empty tool weight? Thank you again for another Great Video.

[@Jaspel]

They are just hanging from the top lip. You'd want something built better for that level of handling.

[@georgeferlazzo7936]

@@Jaspel Thank you for getting back to me. I am currently looking to upgrade my tool box. And finding out how heavy they are without any tools being loaded. Would you have any suggestions for me? Again Thank you.

[@Jaspel]

@@georgeferlazzo7936 Not specifically. My main concern with this box is that it isn't on a frame- just has extra layers of support on the bottom. I don't think it would hold up to the forks.

[@Jaspel]

@@georgeferlazzo7936 I'd check if any of these have a decent framed base. www.tekton.com/tool-cabinets?quantity=1&color=red&size=30-in (rousseau) www.menards.com/main/tools/tool-storage/tool-chests/masterforce-reg-36-x-24-6-drawer-rolling-tool-cabinet/me3607rc1gmm/p-1490163926962-c-9188.htm (montezuma) www.harborfreight.com/36-in-x-25-in-professional-roller-cabinet-red-56144.html

What's the biggest socket you can fit in those top small drawers

standing up or flat? Most 3/4 would be fine on their side.

@@Jaspel oh thank you 😊

[@FinallyMe78]

In one breath you question why have a click style torque wrench with digital ones available, and in the next breath you show your tekton calipers with no battery, and you don't have to worry about the battery dying. I have used the digital torque wrenches and you always have to worry about the battery. The clickers always work. Anyways, great video.

[@Jaspel]

Good point and thanks! I think my main complaint with the calipers is not that they are electronic, but that they seem to die randomly and coin cell batteries are hard to come by. Perhaps a Mitutoyo would solve this but the dial doesn't really slow me down and I see little difference in accuracy/precision. I do have mid grade 3/8 and 1/2 digital torque wrenches and made sure to get ones that take AA/AAA. Functionally electronic is superior- they don't go out of calibration, can hold the peak value, beep vibrate, etc.. That being said, I prefer the clickers as they are dead simple in a +/- 10% world.

[@FinallyMe78]

@@Jaspel Haha. I have a digital Mitutoyo set of calipers. I use them alot and have had them for about 14 years now. I have probably replaced the battery 3 times, and it is hard to find a replacement, other than amazon. I do plan to get a dial set though. As an Mechanical engineer, I do argue with my colleagues about the precision necessary for bolt torque. I don't think it needs to be that precise, but there are definitely those who would disagree.

Start using them tools they all look brand new lol

[@Jaspel]

They are not, I just keep them clean and don't use them full time.

[@charlesdeck6616]

I have this tool cabinet I like it a lot the only problem I have is you pay a lot of money for them and the drawers don’t have locks on them I push my box around to job and my drawers come open so I had to make a magnet piece that holds the doors together from opening it up when I push my cart so my question is why can’t they put door locks on this box? The cheaper ones has it?

[@mikeaustin1323]

Milwaukee cordless tools are severely overrated. I only use Makita and Dewalt cordless tools. I love Irwin and Lenox pliers and screwdrivers.

[@Jaspel]

Got to fit the constraints available to you when it comes to brands and what is in your workplace. I'd generally agree with milwaukee but there are soo many tiers now, it's a mess but you can pick the better ones out. A couple of years ago the dewalt impacts wrenches were really lagging but now they seem to be near the top.
