Bought a new Epiq yesterday. It was a impulse buy when I saw it on the truck I had to have it. Waiting on the stainless top to come in.

Now this isn't as awesome as some of you guys and your Snap-On boxes, but...

:woott:
Found a killer deal on a 2pc tool box this weekend! $549 at my local Costco!
Damn thing weighs 400lbs! 150 for the top piece and 250 on the bottom! All the drawers have roller bearing slides (the tall drawers have two) and a click lock for the closed position and it has a manual secondary lock for the large storage bin and top and bottom drawer sets and it's powder coated in a sweet crinkle black!
:woott:

Now I've got a drawer for every socket, lol, JK.
No srsly.
Now I don't have a tiny chintzy tool box I'm constantly diggin thru and a cardboard box next to it full of tools I'm constantly diggin thru and a fold up table full of tools sitting in the way. I haven't got any tools in it yet ( I want to clean them all first!) but I'm excited to FINALLY have one spot for EVERYTHING! Damn thing is almost a stall as I am!
:rofl:

Picked up this beast a few weeks ago. I've been using the heck out of it, and I have been super impressed with the power. I think it's every bit as powerful as the full size Snap On 3/8" drive 18V lithium cordless impact I have at half the size. I absolutely love it.

Just picked up a 1/2" milwaukee impact, 3/8 milwaukee ratchet, pry bars, impact sockets 24 metric and 24 standard, 2 1/2lb sledge, 3 PC gear puller set. Trying to fill my new box is getting expensive!

Did some shopping online this week. First boxes showed up, the rest is coming next week.

Working on reorganizing a lot of my box to consolidate things and make room. I'm looking for a KRL locker if anyone on here has a lead on one.

In this picture, 20lb Wilton BASH indestructible sledge, pliers rack gear wrench extendable indexable pry bar.

Got some more goodies. Currently looking for a locker for my box.

Knipex hose clamp pliers

I use the piss outta the 250mm cobra so I got another one but with the new style comfort grips. The sledge is 10lb 24", the scrapers are Mayhew pro, punches are reinstegg, pb Swiss and Starrett.

The snap on crimper I have had for awhile. I just got the Greenlee and like it better because the insulated crimp spot is closer to the fulcrum. They are smoother too. The bags just have mini wrenches.

Vinny - Can you show us a picture of the pliers rack when you get it in your box and set up. Looks like it would work well. And also where you got it. Thanks

They are on amazon. I'll get a picture but honestly I'm starting to think I won't use it because I have a lot of shallow drawers that are empty from my re organization. So my pliers will likely be laid out flat in those instead of in the rack. I have two of these racks, if I don't use them I'd sell them I guess.

Got me some grip on. General Industry set and chain cutter were on back order. Also got a knipex wire dismantling knife, 180mm comfort grip cobras, knipex super knips, a pair of NWS ergocombis and my 58" Mayhew dominator pry bar in the back.

Got a lead on a locker that should match my box. Hopefully it goes through otherwise I'll be getting a us general one to hold me over until I can find the proper locker. Need one for these long/tall tools.

Going to be selling my MG725 and MG325 if anyone is interested.

I was really impressed with that last time I was in Costco. I want to say it was even cheaper here

Which US General box is that in the pic? I have a 56" bottom waiting for me to move into the house I'm remodeling. Those Wilton hammers are nice. Used one alot while knocking out old walls

What impacts are you going to now Vinny? The new Mac stubby guns seem to hit pretty hard.

My goodness that's a lot of drivers there!! Dare I ask what the price tag is on that drawer?!?!

Your stuff is so top notch & orderly & just down right impressive! Kudos buddy.

Any update on your health thread? No homo, but I think about you often, bud. Sure am praying things work out man. :thumb:

All of my Wiha stuff alone is maybe 3k. Cheaper price than the truck brands and much better quality and selection IMO. Not many Wiha drivers left on my wish list anymore. I think they have one of the largest selections though. I might get some more bits. Forgot to get one of their ratcheting Topra drivers. They have a lot of torque control drivers if I had a need for them but I don't.

I ordered a lot of sockets from Napa to fill out my set that should be here this week too.

Ordered some more Mayhew dominator pry bars to finish out my collection of them. Hopefully I can get this deal on a KRL locker and I will be set for awhile. Haven't bought much for tools lately.

Selling both of my snap on impacts. Buying an IR 2235 1/2" gun. Maybe an IR 3/8 hammer head. Thinking about trying IR's 12v ratchets and selling my Milwaukee M12 ones. I like the M12 size/profile but they flex too much when trying to use it manually. Kind of wishing I would've went with an IR 7150 instead of the M18 Fuel for a big 1/2" cordless. The IR is lighter and better balanced. Could use the 20v batteries for a cordless hammerhead I suppose. Still love the rest of my Milwaukee stuff.



As for my health, it's doing alright thanks for asking. I just got out of hospital last week after being in for 3 weeks getting my stem cell transplant. I did actually go into the transplant in remission so the chances for success are very high. At this point I just have to be monitored until my blood counts and everything fully recovers. Then just check ups from time to time and I should be done dealing with all of this for a long time.

Right now though I'm working on getting my strength back. I lost 40lbs in a couple weeks and didn't really have that much to loose. Pretty weak and wimpy right now. Appetite is starting to recover as are my taste buds. Stomach is still tiny though, can't eat an entire burger yet. I take it easy throughout the day at the farm and do what I can. Slow road to getting back to normal but it should come.

Thanks again for all of the support. It really has helped along the way.
