Garage Shop: Tools

Doesn’t sound like you’ll have any free time

 

Between other peoples cars and mine? Na none in the past 2-3 months.

 

I’ve been extremely happy with mine for the price. Got it for $400 on Black Friday I think? Or maybe $500. It’s bigger than I originally wanted but I’m so happy I went bigger. Gotta do some reorganization after I catch my breath. Came with precut liners in all drawers, drawers hold weight well, only complaint is closing some of the drawers on the bottom box moves the lock and I need to keep the key turned to get it to open again. For some reason that key never could come out.

 

May god have mercy on your soul.

 

It’s not hard to get like that especially with multiple projects. Keeping parts organized is the goal.

 

Thankfully after my trip I’m prepping for I’ll have sooo much more space again.

 

That reminds me that I need to go through my socket sets and buy replacements for the few that have been lost/broken. I've also been considering just replacing what I have now. They're Ace brand and have served me well, but the ratchets are going out.

I have the small 26" Husky box and cabinet. They've held up well so far and been moved twice now (NM to VA and VA to AR).

 

Ummm there’s a reason I didn’t take a pic of my garage. Back went out again, still have flooring in the garage for the last room. Also have edging for the flower beds, not to mention Rubbermaid’s we are on the process of down sizing...

 

When ever I did a PCS move, the let me inventory with them and then lock it. Always loved watching the movers try to push it up the ramps...

 

No joke. Messes are easiest to make, keeping on track and organized is the goal and the challenge.

Everybody I know has organizational issues, so I try not to. My garage is overstuffed with stuff I can’t get rid of, so.. at least my toolbox is tidy.

 

I just got rid of two cribs. Ya fookin pansy.

But yeah, isn't it all about carving out one tiny spot on this crazy spinning rock covered in goo that we can have a little bit of control over and call our own?

 

2 cribs for 1 kid?

You extravagant fuck.

I have my third kid coming along shortly and one crib between the whole lot!

 

1. It was the one we had down at my dad's house.
2. WTF I have a cauterizing iron you should use. I mean, CONGRATULATIONS! Right?

 

I need to step up to a bigger box, my trusty old Craftsman is full.

 

Thought I told you months ago.. third is coming in October/November.

Isabella will be 4 end of this month. Grayson 2 end of next month.

Time flies.

 

You may well have told me months ago. If so, I refuse to to held accountable for my shit-for-brains.

Bennett will be 4 in a month. We were kicking soccer balls last night after dinner....

 

Link to pliers rack?

 

Wonder if it’ll fit in my plier drawer.

 

My top drawer is full already and I haven’t put my impact sockets on rails yet..

 

I spent some quality time trying to figure this out for pliers, one of the biggest potential space wasters. Same deal, my sockets are in the top deep drawer. Like Joe said, check your biggest ones on edge in the tallest drawer you have.

I ended up with one very similar to this:

$18 Tool Sorter Pliers Organizer – Red

I had some extra Lisle wrench holders lying around that we're working for me, so I just cuts the ends off with a bandsaw to use them as pliers racks like the one posted above.

This one was too tall:

$16 MLTOOLS Pliers Organizer, Heavy-Duty 10-Slot Tool Storage Rack for Mechanics, Electricians, and DIY – Durable Plastic Pliers Holder, Made in USA P8248 x 1

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B016TU4PL...colid=NN84CB2FS2V9&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it


This one could be used in some drawers, but I chose this for my benchtop/pegboard rack:

$18 Plyworx Pliersrack PLR15 Plier Organizer - Sturdy Plastic 15 Pliers Holder For Tool Box or Pegboad Organization, Plier Rack Tool Organizers For Toolboxes And Storage

But yeah, some you will just have to lay flat.
