i have this thing and i hate it
No... No, they're notwhatever anyone wants to say there all the same metal
only the runners are different
Easy to hose down.... very little spatter above the tile lineThe tiled floor and walls look creepy as hell, in an Eli Roth Hostel type vibe. Maybe that's just me...
I keep most of my knives at home, although I suppose an air saw could do some damage in theStainless work bench. Last seen in the butcher's...
That's what the 9" Hitachi grinder is for (see other thread!) The Mrs. retrained to be a Forensic Pathologist - gave me some great tips on cleaning!You can never quite get it out of of the grout. IME.
I may not have been entirely serious about the grinder - however, HiD has commented that bleach can leave a detectable residue, which, in places you wouldn't normally use bleach, may be problematic.Bleach is the way to go according to police procedurals. If you are taking a nine inch grinder to the surroundings you may as well use a pnuematic hammer, shovel and a brush.
When the taxman shutdown a previous job one of the technicians hired a tail lift Luton to move his tool cabinet. The tail lift couldn't!The chains are to slow them down - they wouldn't be employer insured without them. We have to video the contents & declare a value, without going into numbers, generally the flashier toolbox owners have a lower overallvaluereplacement cost compared to the 'plain / budget' toolbox owners - in some cases there's more than double the difference in replacement cost.
As daft as it sounds, if the place was broken in to, they'd most likely leave the heavier boxes and take more of the lighter / smaller ones. Think of the size of truck you'd need to lift & transport fourteen big, heavy toolboxes.
I've done that when I've moved jobs, 'man with van', £40. The last time it wouldn't lift until I pointed out he'd be better pushing it to the hinge end of the lifting platform, worked a treat.When the taxman shutdown a previous job one of the technicians hired a tail lift Luton to move his tool cabinet.

He ended up unpacking lots of it...
AsthreatenedPromised, a tale of tool boxes....
This is my mates, he bought it from a tool van secondhand for £800 about six years ago - it was a competitive trade-in, the tool salesman needed to shift it as he didn't have room in his lock-up pretty much fully stocked with tools, anything but Snap-On though.

This is another one of the 'careful' tech's, full of tools, Halfords Pro, Facom, Beta, US Pro, Bergen - whatever is value for money, he's had the box for about ten years and is contemplating (well, has for the last two years!) replacing it with a bigger but shorter SGS box (needs to be shorter as he can't actually see into the top drawer....) He won the trolley in a bet.

Now, the 'Kermit' box is owned, sorry, still being paid for by 'Sausage fingers', it's pretty full, but everything is in it's original packing (mostly Snap-On) so only about 30% of whats there is usable tools, the rest of the space is taken up with hiding things he's broken and things like glue gun sticks and nuts/bolts/rivets for bodging things back together....

On to the filter-spinners.....
The 'Celtic' box was oneupmanship on Sausage fingers box, mainly filled with fresh air, phone chargers and pollen filters he CBA to fit...

Next to it is the dark grey 'I've got more money to spaff on monthly payments than you' roll cab, looks like a commercial kitchen serving trolley with plate warming drawers to me - might as well be, only three of the small drawers have anything useful in them. - he did get a free Snap-On light with it though.View attachment 311060
Back to the light grey box - 'the daddy' of the shiny-shiny boxes, young lad, actually a good tech but got caught up in the whole 'my tool box is *whatever* than yours' thing. God knows why it needs wheels that big, with suspension when it only moved off the van and into the workshop.... Still, he was exclusively filling with Snap-On tools until he saw & tried some of the more useful stuff and now has a broad range of tools better suited to the job rather than the 'one brand only' thinking.View attachment 311061
The guesstimate of the cost (not worth) of those last four is circa £46k by the time they've paid off the finance, not including tools.
No dealer that I know of provides tools, some have started providing 'integrated storage', much to the chagrin of the travelling tool salesmen...£46k , no wonder garage prices are so high lol
mechanics must earning some then to pay for that lol. Ah but then modern cay crap is plug n play init ha ha.No dealer that I know of provides tools, some have started providing 'integrated storage', much to the chagrin of the travelling tool salesmen...
Something like this https://www.straightset.co.uk/manufacturers/shure
Some dealers don't even have the requisite mandatory special tools they should have either...
