All I got right now besides what's in the truck toolbox. I had a lot more but my stash got stolen a coupe years ago so I'm slowly rebuilding the collection. The black one is a great 340-pc set I bought from Craftsman for $200. Specialty tools for suspension, brakes, etc are on the shelf to the lower right (can't really see the pile of red boxes).

 

I counted over the weekend... I have 18 ratchet wrenches -- all but 4 are Snap On and those 4 are Mac, Matco, K-D, and Proto. Weird thing is that I use them all.

I need to do a total tool inventory. My collection needs its own line item in my homeowner's insurance.

 

being a mobile equipment tech, thats my box. has almost everything i need. still need bigger truck. needs bigger crane. but has 24 gallons oil, 24 gallon waste oil, 24 gallon ISO46 hydro, 24 gallon 10wt cat hydro, 120lb grease tub, full torch setup, bobcat welder, and T30 IR compressor all hidden in that body.

7.3 diesel staight piped, 6 speed man with kevlar clutch. weights in at 15000 lbs.

 

This is mine so far... Eventually I will expand and conquer.

 

nothin fancy but it cost me some ching, finally got 'er paid off

 

nothin fancy.its my first box and still filling it up as i go

 

heres my two... go easy on me with the big blue box... school was having a blow out sale 40" top and bottom for better than half off, whatever they sent is what you got... guess what the rice rocket hating diesel driver ended up with....

 

nice

 

How long has it taken you guys to build up your collections? Right now being in college I have two decent sized hand boxes that are full, I dont have enough yet tho to move to a big box. I am pretty much set with hand tools, now I need to start looking into some power tools. Just seeing the time and expense I will be looking at. thanks.

 

To be honest I collect tools since 20years.
And I could run still everyday for something special. It is easy to explain why. I always try to get the very best tool, because sometimes you have only one try to do the job. Ruined parts can get expensive very quick.


@moose:
bro, I feel so sorry for you!
Is there any chance to remove those ricers pictures. At least you have some very good snap-on's!!!
I have only the black Craftsman chest and drawers...
