I'll get some tool box pics tomorrow. But all my wrenches are Proto and ratchet set is gear wrench. All sockets and ratchets are craftsman. I have some misc harbor freight stuff like allen sockets and a 12v 3/8 ratchet

All my power tools are the ryobi 18v. Have a 3/8 and 1/2 inch impact. Plus the large assortment of saws and drills for woodworking.

Honestly middle of the road stuff has suited me just fine. The only reason I've got that expensive proto set was via "donation" I'm a firm believer in taking care of your tools and theyll take care of you. If you want high dollar tool stories I have them from my time as a millwright

Husky toolbox cabinet, Milwaukee hand tools, harbor freight/menards special power tools XD Just started getting into the wrenching game so I prefer cheap lol. Just picked up a 4300 Dremmel from Menards. Favorite tool I own so far. I can cut so many things =)

I used to run craftsman and kobalt, still use my kobalt 1/2 ratchet, but now my arsenal consist of a few duralast stuff and Snap on and blue point. Love blue point! Stuff has held its own, and same with the Snap on. I have a 3/8 gun and that thing makes things a breeze! And I have a snap on box to hold all of it. And some gear wrenches

Keep in mind
I started turning wrenches at 16
And most of these tools have been with me since I started
Wish I could rewind the fucking clock
Just good old days
You could buy another mustang for the cost of that tool box haha

I’ve got a hell of a tool collection, but I’m a bit embarrassed at the current state of confusion that my box is in. Being in the middle of so many projects, I haven’t organized.
Go ahead let us see them

That's only one
Show you the one at work
A lot more organized
But like I said I was dumb when I was 16 and started wrenching
Good thing my dad straighten my ass out
Like he said don't be a dumb ass all your life
I remember hearing that a lot
Comes back and haunts me

I understand where your coming from. The things our fathers teach and tell us will stick with us forever! Lost my father to cancer back in 2016 and I can still hear him telling me to stay in line.
