Damn bro that's sweet, I wish I knew you wanted one or two. I left both of mine at the shop yard.
We use the heck out of our little 1942 vintage forklift, you'll love having one around.
Not new tools, but cool tool mounts. A local guy is 3d printing these.
Left one is DeWalt battery and right one is the tool mount.

Fixed it. I am too impatient some times.
Nice.
Bought an old school pencil sharpener.
And 5he guy threw in a couple of nut and bolt bins.
I am going to bolt them together back to back and put them on a roller stand.

American pencil sharpener company...good find!
Maintenance boss at our plant sent this to me to see if it's fixable, but they had already bought a replacement.
I told him it could be rewired, but "is it worth it for what you pay me an hr?" Given they had already replaced it.
He asked if I wanted it and I said .
$5.00. And I fixed the cord anyway on their time while I was waiting for my shift to end lol.

I did get to put my new Gearwrench ratcheting wenches it to the tool roll I got for them. Even used a couple today. The set was short couple so I ordered the individual ones I need to fill out the roll.
They do feel nice in the hand. The ratchet is pretty fine tooth and smooth.

Broke down and ordered some of these. https://officialtoolroll.com/
Have been carrying my big craftsman socket set in the burb in the blow molded case since I got it. Hell, my grandma got it for me, and she died when I was 15, so….20+yrs?
Will be interesting to see if this organization is Better or worse. Taped a bunch of foam in the blow mold case over the years, but very little stays where it should. Hope I like this setup, they weren’t cheap.

I’ve been using an atlas 46 tool roll for a few years. I love it. Super handy, though I’ve overfilled it to the point you can’t roll it up. I had been carrying both full socket rails of deep sockets of 1/4” and 3/8” drive. Ratchets for both, extensions, screw drivers, pliers, picks and 50 other items I could stuff in there.
Last year I got another larger tool roll from Rhino USA. The bags are bigger and actually detach with Velcro which is handy.
So I reorganized. The atlas is my main go bag for going to the junkyard and the trail. I have a Milwaukee 1/4” impact that is a little beast and great for boneyard duty. So the 3/8” drive gear moved to the other bag. Switched out my chrome 1/4” drive sockets for impact sockets from gear wrench. I’ll have to take some shots of it all. The setup works really well.
Awesome. Need to get some locking socket rails. Current plan was to toss in loose for now, but we'll see how it goes.
I've been using some socket rails I first got at Lowes that I loved, but they no longer carry them. I found the same rails on Amazon through Ares. They even sell replacement clips in all three drive sizes too. Nice aluminum rails and the clips hold sockets well.
After my pull and pay I took some shots of the bags.
The main go-bag with my 1/4" Milwaukee impact.
A shot of the rails I like. They fit perfectly inside the tool bag.
Since I moved all the 3/8" drive stuff to my other bag I upgraded my 1/4" drive ratchet to a Gearwrench 120tooth flex hed that is just about the size of an average 3/8" ratchet.
The big bag. This one is chock full of all the 1/2" and 3/8" drive gear and the other bigger tools.
The individual bags have nice big zippers with large pulls that are easy to grab with bear paws for hands.
The bag swallows a lot of gear. More of the socket rails too.
Both bags work great.
Thanks for the pics. I’ll give some of those rails a try
The 01 burb keeps setting a EVAP code. Not a big deal, I clear and motor on. Just annoyed when driving with check Check Engine lamp lit, never know if something more serious is happening.
So I got this tool to pin point leak. Works great. Took longer to set up the test than to find the leak.
Also got me 1/2 electric impact.

I keep thinking about getting one of those smoke machines.
