diesel mechanic toolbox
hi guys i am going to school to be a diesel mechanic next year and i was wondering what snapon box would be good for a starting out diesel mechanic. i just want something big enough and the only reason i say snap on is because i get 50% off cause im a student
|
50% off! That's pretty good for strap on.
Check out some of their box+tool package deals. Load one of them up and you'll be looking pretty good for your 4 year journey good luck with it bro! |
if I could do it again I woulg get just the tools up to (I belive) the 7500 dollar limit and find a cheaper or used box. Good luck man its a tough career but worth it.

x2 just buy the tools and go with a cheaper brand of box,get a good quality box,I found the snap on boxes cheaply built,thin and flimsy drawers,I also found that one large bottom box works best ,gives you a mobile bench when you need it around the shop,I have a mac box because I financed it with them,I would probably buy a napa box if I needed a new one:w2:
|
x3 on that!
you are working with the tools- not with the box! But you will recognize immediately a cheap or missing tool because you spend (still expensive with 50% off) so much money on the box. Try to get the best tools you can afford- it will pay off in the long run. 50% off of an expensive tool box is still an expensive tool box, don't you think? |
dont go with snapon. they add the intrest daily, so does cornwell. go with matco or mac tools for ur box. i have a mac tech-1000. its a good starter box. i have everything up to 3 inch in it rite now. i dont mechanic for a livin anymore so i never up graded. but it has been a good box and did what i needed for my wrk. an i only gave 2500 for it used. an it still looks new to this day. its probably about a 5000 dollar box new.:rocking:

I will admit i do not have one personally but, my dad has a KRL and it is far from cheap and flimsy.

got me a 24 year old snap on road chest here,beaten but still earning its keep-secondhand deals off snap on vans are pretty good.
im a big fan of mac stuff too. good luck with your career,remember it,s not all about the tools and wrenching,there,s a serious amount of knowhow to pick up too.especially with all the new electronic cr*p they insist on smothering modern engines with. |
