We had them too people would just swap handles as put the T15 in the T30 handle as it is the handle that control the torque.

If you can get out of the sears and tool truck catalogs theres some pretty nice stuff. I still have matco ratchets and snapon wrenches but pliers and drivers are all german.
Itll take a little more work from my phone but what the hell im bored. Some drawers I'll have to get some updated pics tomorrow. Below is a good start. I do all of the work for our farm so it takes a big variety of tools. They are also one of my hobbies too. Or so I say at least to try an justify it haha.
The box. KRL7023. Stainless top. Picked it up used for only $2,900.
Sockets. Once room starts becoming more critical a lot of the 12 pts and some other sockets will go. The hansen trays might need to dissappear as well. Matco 88 ratchets. They are slimmer than the Snap-ons. The snap ons are a bit smoother though. Sockets are craftsman with some snap on here and there. I still have a soft spot for shiny sockets so I replace the lost or broken onea with snap on. My snap on dealer is great to work with and 5 minutea away. My Matco dealer is my neighbor.
Wrench drawer with new pig mat liner. Much nicer than the Snap-on liner which is shown in second picture.
Big wrench drawer. I had a bit of buyers remorse here. When I bought all of my snap on wrenchs I figured you got the best deal with the bigger package. Added it up later on and it saved like $2. Oh well. They are nice and I do use enough of them often enough. The ratcheing ones are much cheaper and get used a lot as well.
Small/odd wrenches. The open end ratcheting ones dont work.
Bit sockets. All snap-on except for the XZN and tap sockets. I have a couple more now. Could get an updated pic tomorrow.
Pry bars, radiator picks, magnets scrapers. Have a few different things in here now but not much.
Impact sockets. Snap on swivels, napa 3/8" and craftsman for the others. Got some more extensions since then but nothing to write home about.
Random drawer. Little stuff.
Hammers. Have a brass one and smaller soft face since plus toom the claw to my house.
Allen drivers. Obviously the Wiha magic ball set is in there now along with the ergo star L wrenchs. I am sure the t handles will get replaced with Wiha someday too. My excuse for upgrading is that I get to take them home for around the house.
Torx drivers.
Nut drivers. Obviously the craftsman were replaced with the wihas shown earlier. Very worthwhile investment there.
Screwdrivers. Replaced some of them with the Wihas shown above.
Measuring tools and videoscope.
Specialty tools.
Power tools.
Out of date pliers drawer. Lots more Knipex in there now. I love their pliers. Plierswrench is awesome for hydraulic lines. Also replaces crescent wrenchs. The cobra pliera are the nicest locking pliers ive used. I used to have channel locks. The cobras are self locking. The harder you push the more they bite. They bite hard. Theirnpromo is a guy standing on a medium size pair. The "king" cobras are 22". The ones on the left are their precision snap ring line. They are pricey at 20-40 per pliers but worth every penny. No more headaches or slipping, the grab the snap ring take it out and have no issues. The other pliers are stamped out of steel where these are forged. Many also do both internal and external, thesenonly do one which is nicer. The tips are not interchangeable either which helps make them even stronger. I am working on aquiring the entire line. The offer internal and external both straight an 90* in 5 sizes. The biggest ones are shown in this picture. They make tranny work very nice.
And heres some pictures of what is inside some of those boxes.
Snap on Tech wrenches. The 3/8" and 1/2" both do angle. That was the only reason I went electric. Otherwise I prefer precision instruments split beam. The 1/4" does not do angle but it kept the fleet the same. It is nice being able to see what you apply in real time.
VIM tools XZN sockets. I also use their mag rails for organization
Snap on 60in-lb wrench. $300 got it off ebay for $30. Use it for setting pre loads on bearings.
Snap on extractor set. They actually warranty the extractors.
And everybody has seen this guy.
Ill get some updated pics tomorrow of the drawers with new goodies in them.

Very nice Vinny.I just have Craftsman stuff but it works for me.Lately ive been getting into vintage tools buying old ratchets and the really old Craftsman catalogs from the 40s up to the 80s.
I have enough of there stuff too and it works good. Lately theybhave been going downhill but the older stuff and the older customer service was great.
I agree the chineese crap on ebay is so cheap and everyone is buying up all the old stuff made in the us.The old sets are going for more then the new stuff.
You're right there. I've bought some snap on & matco stuff off of ebay; got a super 88 3/8" drive and older 72 tooth 1/2" drive flex head ratchets thanks to your suggestions, I LOVE them and make some jobs alot easier. :thumb:
You're got some nice tools there Vinny, I've got a big list now that I'd like to buy once we get back to the states and have some free money.:thumb:

thought that post on garage journal looked familiar.
I dont use wiha, but i did buy witte torx drivers a while back. I hardly use them anymore. The instinct handles on the snap on screwdrivers are my favorite.
