I need to get a new box and was curious on how people here set theirs up and what different boxes look like.

TIA

Default Speak of the devil.........

Im shopping for a box right now too. Want a 52" or so...... tired of jamming tools into a box thats too small. Been scouring eBay and Craigslist for a few days.

What do you have in mind for a box?

Default I need a bigger box

I've got a Craftsman 5-drawer ball bearing box with most of my stuff in it. The top box is a cheap blow-molded case that came with a couple hundred tool set. It's not ideal but it was included and does hold and organize an awful lot of sockets. I'd like to replace it with another 5 drawer box tho.

Default You can see mine in the picture

It's not a top of the line Craftsmen but it's pretty decent. I also got a bunch of socket organizers where the individual sockets snap down into place and has a flip type lever so you can lock them into place.
I can take better pictures if you'd like. It's pretty messy right now since I'm in the middle of the project. I try to make sure all the tools make it back in every night though.

Default I've got one of these...

but organization is basically a joke. I just fit everything that I can into it so I can haul it to the track with me or where ever I need it. Everything too big or not commonly used goes on the metal shelving in my garage.
