You can always talk more about Rustbelt’s box...Rustbelt won’t mind😁 Glad to see McBake making his workspace his own👊🏻

[@JUSTINATV]

😂🤣😂🤣

[@danieltubbs458]

Please tell me that he has swapped out the 2 fixed casters for the swivel casters

[@unlisted8042]

Snap on is cool, but it doesn’t make you more money. That box for 1k is badass. Probably more then anyone will ever need. And for that price you can get 10x of them compared to their 10k dollar plus snap-off

[@caliautotech21]

Gotta say I love seeing a shop with this kind of camaraderie! You guys are awesome and congrats on the box bake!

[@asmautollc]

That happened to me with a box from HD. I called them and sent pics and they sent me a replacement. At the least, it’s worth letting their customer service know about it as room for improvement.

[@JUSTINATV]

Either Captain Ron is 7' 2" or the new guy is 4' 3"... 🤣😂🤣😂 Great video brother!

[@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway]

Great Box! Thanks for sharing your box with us

[@mariocmo1]

I have the same box and my locks where all the same. I do love my box. And yes for the price it beat snap-on any day of the week. My rep was upset when he saw this box in my bay.....lol

[@rdevers1768]

Not sure what all you guys get into. But I know my multimeter and test light really come in handy. Maybe a ratchet bit driver set. Knipex Cobra for sure!! Haha good luck with your journey mcbake .

[@ygoteamtarox3823]

New MAC boxes have the soft close drawers as well

[@patrickleonard5034]

I have a similar box and I love it it’s the one with a top chest instead of side locker and hutch same color and price range.... as far as tools go I highly recommend the Milwaukee 1/2” m18 high torque impact and either the Milwaukee and or snap-on cordless 3/8” ratchet and or impact... 3/8 swivel sockets, and the FDX snap on sockets are all purchases that have made my life easier in the shop...

[@ricosteeler7]

Just ordered a husky 72" tool chest and it came dented and scratched up like crazy. So I had to bring it back and demand one that is in a box

[@lsxbird7874]

I wish i had seen this box about 8 months ago. I found the husky 52" with the top chest. Has been a decent box for $898, but i have found that the drawer slides are shit ( as to be expected ) , and they really could give you better storage arrangement of drawers instead of two massive drawers that waste space. If i had seen this box, i wouldnt need a new box but its time for me to upgrade to a more fitting box for the trade. Found me a snap on 55" classic for a good deal, and will be getting a hutch and side locker soon

[@mikeske9777]

Reflecting back on 45 + years as a mechanic (ten as a vehicle and 35 as a aviation mechanic) I was always the cheap guy on tool boxes. I always went for the higher quality tools but I stored my tools in a 27" Waterloo box that was branded Bonney and I used that tool box from the start of my journey to the finish when I retired. You can tell my main basic tools were Bonney (they went out of the tool business in 1995). I was always fugal with the money and only bought tools as I had the cash to pay for it. Oh yeah the truck brand boxes are SWEET but I was always on the thing if I cannot pay cash I will make what I have work and I did it. Oh I had the coworkers (peer pressure) tell me I needed to step it up and get a Snap-on box *Oh yeah step it up and I ignore the comment as I had no truck debt. I did things to my old Waterloo box as in pulling drawers and welding on reenforcement to the bottom of the drawers, installing a 1/4 aluminum plate to the bottom, getting better casters, building a side box for the larger items. I always said get the best you can for the tools but get the cheapest possible toolbox.

[@theirishman088]

If it works for you then why switch right? I'm looking at this same box because I can afford it but I never understood why these techs go in debt 10's of thousands of dollars forever bc they have to chase the dollar just to pay for the box. I guess I just look at it as my box works for me i dont work for my box.

[@mikeske9777]

@@theirishman088 I did it for 40 plus years and it worked for me.. I understand that it might not work for some using a beat up old box and I have some of the leadership come to check toolboxes (per FAA requirements) and the first box they want to see inside was mine. They reason that trashed out old box has to have something wrong with it. I passed every time as everything in my box was shadowed and everything inside had a place for it with nothing extra (just glad they did not want to see inside my locker). I guess that after a while they came to realize it was a waste of their time and stopped doing to me in the few years I was working.

[@theirishman088]

@@mikeske9777 wow I'm surprised they checked your box. Don't get me wrong all the guys that have big expensive boxes love them and say it gives them the space and organization they need which I get but for the money I dont know lol. I work in a body shop as a painter so I guess I can get away with a smaller cheaper box bc i dont need as many tools.

[@mikeske9777]

@@theirishman088 Aviation mechanics work in a highly regulated environment. There are certifications that are required on calibrated tools that have to be done on some of them every 6 months to 12 months. Toolboxes and tools have to be account for at the beginning and the end of the work day. Toolboxes and tool bags must be regularly check by supervisors and documented. No pencil pushing the inspections. You have to log in and out your personal daily inspections at the beginning and the end of the shift. No one tool can not be unaccounted for. It has been found tools left on aircraft post delivery to the customer airline. I don't want to be the mechanic that "forgot" that tool.

[@85jmccoy]

I have a extreme tools matte black box and my only problem with it is it scratches so dang easy....is it the same for rust belts snappy?

[@leoclement3801]

Can the locker be used separately in a different location? I don't have enough room for the entire unit on the same wall.

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

im down to call home depot in his favor XD

[@stangman1268]

That toolbox combo is worth every bit of money you spent on it,i paid around $1300 for a international craftsman 75" long box with less features.

[@justwrenchit9287]

Great overview of the husky. I had been looking at this but cant justify the purchase right now.

[@jaredappleseed7037]

Gonna have to get used to not having soft close after upgrading 🤔 doesn't sound like an upgrade

[@johngibson3594]

Nice box if your taller put it on a platform problem solved. Good price as well. Thanks for sharing

Damn... Sweet setup! Thanks for Sharing!

Awesome video and I knew you were tall but dam 😂

I know, I showed Baker and he was like, damn, i look like a midget compared to you!

[@SuperTrent131]

Blue-Point makes a 4 piece oil filter metal strap wrench set that is awesome. I had that and oil filter pliers and those did me well. And the caps of course as well. I just had every style just in case.

[@SoopieMadrox]

I'd pick up a thread repair kit. The Snap-On kit is very reasonably priced and will save your butt over and over again. RTD38 I think is the part number.

[@JustinDowDIYcentralhighway]

Dang man I saw what they did your box that’s messed up. I hope they send you a different one. Captain Ron thanks for the video brother 🍻👍

[@CPthetooladdict]

That's a killer deal on that setup definitely a must have I love my Mac and matco boxes but that is a great home box and new tech box great vid!!

Any tool you don’t have already assume at some point you’ll need it and have doubles for about everything I buy all types of tools just because I’m a tool junkie

[@HelloHello-qs5ny]

Very good value on Box and good video

[@josejr4482]

Man I wanted a husky tool box for work, But I like using the Hansen style socket organizers and I always put sockets on the first drawer, But I kept running into the issue that the first drawer was never deep enough to be able to handle the 1/2 Hansen socket tray's

[@Toyotas_n__Tools]

That's not exactly a beginners box it has 19 gauge, I worked in retail and he can get atleast half his money back.. please tell him! Please tell me why that's not a high quality box besides the fact it was abused? A snap on would get smashed also if you get a kra box hutch and side locker im sure that husky still has more features. The only thing that makes me want a snap on box is how you can have 2 or 3 long top drawers and better drawer arrangements.

[@TheMechanicj]

Its Definately a beginners box I started with a husky box myself now have a snap on epic and a master series and boy ole boy you realize how bad my old box was when I got my first snap on....all respect I couldn’t afford a snap on box either when I started out until you own a 84 by 30 epic you ain’t got a clue about quality

[@georgeyoupel691]

What organizers are those for his sockets? I’m looking for new one since I’m starting to grow my tools and have much larger sockets. If you could let me know it would be much appreciated! Thanks!

[@CaptainRon1]

I believe they are husky as well but you can find socket organizers like those pretty much anywhere.

[@georgeyoupel691]

@@CaptainRon1 I have rail ones now but I’m looking for other options. I saw he has ones for 30+ and I can’t find anything other than the rail organizers but I’ll check it out thanks!

[@westonmavis6566]

Lube tech making the investment, hope he moves up quick.

[@austin9231]

Is it both styles of toolbox widgets that fit it the smaller drawers? The straight and the angled type? I have the husky with the top chest but the main drawer on the bottom only has one slide and can’t hold the wait of my 1/2 sockets (all impacts) and doesn’t slide in very nicely. And have been thinking about going with the style with the hutch instead but I’m losing out on quite a few drawers

[@CaptainRon1]

Yes the height on both toolbox widgets are the same so you would be able to use them in a drawer, even shallow ones.

[@BradsWorkbench]

His nickname should be McNugget for as little as he is 😛👍

[@danieltubbs458]

Before he loads it down, as a husky owner myself please ADVISE him to swap out the caster on both sides in the middle with the swivel casters. Lift it up with either a hoist, cherry picker, or forklift.... trust me it's a life saver

[@CaptainRon1]

I will let him know.

Easy close drawers. If you shut them, instead of slamming, they will gently close

Metrinch Metric/ ASE combo sockets and wrenches 62 piece set Part # MET2362 also on Amazon. Quality innovative socket design made Germany.

Personally as a technician who owns several impact drivers, a must have amazing attachment is the DEWALT 90° impact adapter. This attachment cost $25 and it was worth every damn penny! You’ll thank me later.

Tell him to get the dent puller at Harbor Freight for less than $20 Avoid all the B.S. with Husky and fix it himself. I also saw Chrome sockets in his box, as a beginner mechanic tell him to AVOID them. Tell him to only get Impact Sockets for now. MOSTLY 3/8" Drive and Swivels as well
