THE MOST INSANE DIY’R TOOLBOX TOUR!!!

Full Disclaimer: I’m still organizing, but wanted to show you guys what I’ve accomplished thus far.

[@justinbarringer2419]

Nice Setup love ❤️ the boxes I have a similar set up smaller scale but definitely growing my tools as my knowledge Grows

[@randyk.4172]

J.T... never get tired of seeing your tours. thanks for another great one. I will say though.. I am NOT envious (okay.. I'm a liar too.. lol)

[@PSUCharger88]

I'm just getting started out building out my Garage chest and it's only a 44" so I can only imagine how much you have in tools here but this is amazing and makes me want to get to this level one day.

[@MidwestToolReview]

Hey, thank you! It takes time, but a keen eye for detail and good prices is the key to growth. That said, while I’m not sure where you’re located, access to online auctions, estate sales and pawnshops are a great way to located deals. Another method I use is Facebook marketplace

[@PSUCharger88]

@@MidwestToolReview I’m in NY. I will have to look for some estate sales and online auctions.

[@jash6105]

@@PSUCharger88 good luck, i live near philly and the competition for used tools in the northeast feels fierce. lotta mechanics on marketplace and at pawnstores ready to scoop up the good stuff right when its posted

[@PSUCharger88]

@@jash6105 yep it’s brutal. Need to move to the Midwest it seems.

[@DownHillgamer]

Piece by piece. Building up my used snap on box now lol. Going to take some years.

[@TalkinTools]

That Snapon ratchet collection alone has to be close to $3000 retail if not more haha. The amount of high dollar wrenches you have is insane too! I love collecting tools as much as owning the right tool for the job so I think this collection is amazing!

[@PSUCharger88]

I have dreams about a collection like his lol

[@TalkinTools]

@@PSUCharger88 hahaha I hear ya!

[@MidwestToolReview]

I added it all up today, and I have $13,646.50 in Snap-on ratchets…assuming you had the buy them all at today’s prices…

[@TalkinTools]

@@MidwestToolReview thats a lot of ratchets! hahaha

[@bricegraham8256]

You know your balling when you have a different tool box tour every few months lol. Im happy for you man. I wanna get to your point some day

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

This would be a great set up for any professional too! Good stuff!

[@BigChillingGoingDown]

I love how cheap you got into that much storage space. Super cool setup

[@t6tools]

Great job James!

[@samwittstruck.6685]

Enjoyed the tour. I hope the top drawer shows up. I don't have much faith in this company from past dealings. Good luck.

[@Diabolical58]

That’s great you’re getting replacement drawers. Great video

[@williamburkwalt4759]

Finally! Been missing your videos.

Great video James

[@ragincajungarage]

Very cool i cant wait till i can do a video of my new garage or something like that its coming in the next 6 mos or so

[@2020vishon]

that's at least 60k worth of tools, deals or not, doubles of a lot of tools, dropped some change on this.. may be an addiction...I have a similar issue #snapon #wrighttools #Mac #Matco

[@MidwestToolReview]

$3k total investment, and that included the $1200 paid for the 80” Husky

[@Tye3014]

Nice tour, the layout would have me baffled

[@techman7141]

Really Nice video! , I really like your collection, I was wondering if you could tell me where you bought your ratchet organizers for your ratchets, they are simple and great, I really like those! Thank you in advance.

[@MidwestToolReview]

I bought them from a guy that ran an online business called Apex Organizers. They are 3D printed, and I believe the designs are on a open-source server, so anyone can print their own. There are a number of other individuals that also make a similar holder

[@EzTechJoe]

I've been thinking about getting that 80" husky man. I've been seeing it everywhere lately. Must be a sign lol

[@MidwestToolReview]

It’s been a great box for sure. I’ve seen several on KZbin, but not as loaded down as mines. That said, they can hold a lot and I’ve not experienced any issues with the slides, bearings, etc. The only issue I have is the price. When I bought mine, I only paid $1200. Now their up to $1698… that’s a lot, and a major reason why I elected to buy something cheaper

[@connorhuddleston4739]

Quality set up 👌

[@MidwestToolReview]

Appreciate it

[@connorhuddleston4739]

I’ve got the 54” stainless steel SGS Tool chest and top box with loads of snap on tools as-well but watching this video gave me some good ideas about re-organising some of my draws..

[@3seriesgarage]

Wheres all the cool soft handle matco ratchets! I was hoping to eye one up to buy from yaa😅😂👀🤣

[@MidwestToolReview]

I ended up selling off my Matco setup. I loved the ratchets, and hopefully I’ll buy more in the future. For now, it’s Snap-on to the rescue

[@3seriesgarage]

@MidwestToolReview ow wow!, no doubt! Well, howd you feel about them, good for your typical work!!??🙌

[@m.t.v.7934]

So they make a universal damaged/broken spark plug removal kit? I tried looking on Amazon but all I found was one for a Ford. Do you know of any places I may be able to look? Oh and by the way, great freaking tool box man, EPIC!

[@drdiesel2466]

In your plier drawer I believe, what are those red tools in the right corner? Also, would you ever do a tour of all the cased diagnostic stuff you have in the locker? I personally would like to see it lol. Great video!

[@MidwestToolReview]

Coming soon!

[@markm0000]

That’s cool but I couldn’t handle having all these options. Less is more in my opinion. That setup and all you have is a massive asset in case you need to free up some cash fast.

[@MidwestToolReview]

It’s annoying sometimes and you find yourself using the same sets repeatedly. Nonetheless, if I had to liquidate tools to free up cash, the ROR would be higher based on the brands I have, versus owning cheaper brands.

[@jash6105]

great tour man ive been following the channel for a while, im curious, what do you do for work?

[@MidwestToolReview]

Thank you!! I really appreciate the support. In terms of employment, I’m a Mechanical Engineer/Business Development Manager for a large Injection & Compression molding company

[@johnyluv1]

What’re your thoughts on the craftsman V-Series tools?

[@markm0000]

Forget they exist. Craftsman cancelled USA production in a couple years and after that you will never get warranty coverage again.

[@jasonweishaupt1828]

Where’s the electrical, plumbing, and carpentry tools?

[@MidwestToolReview]

I have an entire setup. Should I do a vid?

[@pedaltheglobe419]

Is this Rich Rebuilds alt channel? Sounds just like him.

[@therealmillerman]

The first step to recovery is admitting that you have a problem... just sayin 😂

[@MidwestToolReview]

Never!!!!

[@merrickboyton3673]

Love your videos and watch every one but there’s no way you spent $3000 on those tools. I’m guessing your toolbox is worth $100,000+

[@markm0000]

$3,000 is the number he tells the wife haha

[@I_Died_2_Weeks_Ago]

[@MidwestToolReview]

Hi Merrick, cool name by the way! I only spent $3k on my tools because I purchased nearly everything from a Snap-on dealer who’d just retired. In 2019-2021, I was selling thousands of dollars in tools to my audience to help my retired dealer liquidate his inventory. Snap-on Corporate bought a ton back from him, but he also sold a lot to the general public before they came calling. Now, nearly everything I purchased for myself was warrantied if it was damaged or broken. Because of my professional and personal affiliation with Snap-on, I was able to get things taken care of. Results may vary for others…nonetheless, that’s my total investment, and to be really honest, I rounded up to $3k…I’m probably more like $2.0k-$2.5k all in…

[@Kingmaine122]

All that for 3k🤨

[@MidwestToolReview]

Yessir.. I met a retiring Snap-on dealer and over time, we became friends. He sold me thousands but I only paid pennies on the dollar. That said, I built my setup from the ground up.
