Takes a special kinda person who goes to visit his tools when he's in a mood to visit. I like :). BTW, this toolbox is bigger than the photo makes it look. The top is roughly even with the bottom of my neck.<br /><br />Karen, that toolbox doesn't hold *all* my tools. There's some in the toolbox that goes in my Jeep, then various other tools that don't fit, like all the electric tools and their respective bits / blades / etc. , or the three foot long crescent wrench, or the three foot long pipe wrench, etc. etc.BadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-25647872417433292942011-09-26T20:55:31.970-07:002011-09-26T20:55:31.970-07:00An infinite number of toolchests wouldn't hold...An infinite number of toolchests wouldn't hold mu husband's tools; they breed at night, or whenever he visits the local hardware store.

Now I know why I had so many little toolboxes (eep!). <br /><br />BBC, I basically treat the toolbox that goes in my Jeep like a big bucket, it's just a bunch of pouches with writing on them to tell me what's in them tossed into a toolbox the exact right size to fit behind the passenger seat lengthwise. The only loose tools are the big ones that are easy to see. I know someone who does the same thing with a duffel bag, because it molds to the shape of the Jeep better than a rigid hunka plastic. My main problem is one of geometry -- getting everything to fit into the Jeep that needs to be in the Jeep when I'm off-roading and / or camping. I've finally arrived at a selection of containers that fit exactly behind my front seat, and a bucket isn't one of them, too tall and too round.<br /><br />- Badtux the Tool PenguinBadTuxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01345749557330760251noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-25120561500527396322011-09-25T18:25:46.672-07:002011-09-25T18:25:46.672-07:00Now you'll have to buy more tools to fill it u...Now you'll have to buy more tools to fill it up. I just wish I could get all of the tools I've accumulated through the years into one tool box. My hope is that after I die that my wife will sell all of my tools (and camera equipment) for what it's worth and not what I told her I paid for it.Davehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07486079925445178228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9612609.post-3240325494988285602011-09-25T18:10:57.476-07:002011-09-25T18:10:57.476-07:00Was a master mechanic for many years, now, as ofte...Was a master mechanic for many years, now, as often as not, I pack my tools around in a plastic bucket.BBChttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15323188240580782454noreply@blogger.com
