Tool Box Talk

[cully]

ok so following on from the "So who is a mechanic" thread it would seem most are not here!

which got me thinking
we have a post somewhere of "whats your Job"

how about a post of pictures of your main work tool!
be it work station,toolbox, building

lets see where you work and with what?


sooo

Most people know im a hospital maintenance electrician
this involves a lot of walking around our site so my tools have to be carried

my front line tool bag i carry everywhere

   

i may add its not my only tool kit most is stashed away in lockers with spares in a central plantroom

for bigger jobs ive got wheels to move stuff around

This is mine, basically my full van. I'm a security installation engineer. It looks like this maybe once a month..........



I've just ordered a Transit Custom so this will be going soon too.

I forgot to post in the mechanics thread, this is my workspace.. Normally I keep it pretty tidy but it often looks like a bomb landed!

I'm not allowed to take photos at work.

At home I've had a halfords industrial roller cab for about a year and a half and it has been fantastic.

My daily kit is usually my engineering toolbox with set square, scribe, rulers etc and a welding mask. Depends what I'm doing though as I take whatever box i need for the job. Really ought to get a van

My box, un tidy and broken. Full of good tools though.

Here's my main tool box, would of been a nice amount of money towards a house deposit if i didn't have to have the box and filled it with tools though.

[bashbarnard]

I thought that!

I might get around to taking a pic of mine, unlikely though, memory isn't generally that capable.

I don't think I usually show all my kit though...I try not to anyway...for that reason.

Think I'd rather have a house than a massive toolbox though!!

Dread to think how much Frosty's spent on his lol!

[Magenta Sunset]

I don't have a toolbox for work, and am not there anyway.
But my main tools, are solder iron & long nose pliers.

The state my toolbox gets is pretty bad though, so much dust etc in the workshop. It really isn't clean very often.

behave...normally looks spot on when I pop round.

'Tis an Awesome chronic toolbox but a bugger to find anything when I'm looking in there, spend few minutes gawping at all the shiny spanner, sockets, ratchets, etc.


I just got a random couple top boxes on top of a bench and a full US Pro roll cab and top box...its pretty small though. Can't get as much as I wanted to it in...but for a hobbyist its cheap and cheerful.

You want to see the state of it now, layer of dust and the top is just full of clutter.
