You dont need a huge box if you are just doing MX bikes.. Strip your bike to every last nut and bolt, put the tools you use to one side, buy another set like that and you are done. Add a few sets of plies and general stuff if you must

Almost all of my hand tools are Snap On or Mac, but the Harbor Freight box I own is every bit as good as the Snap On box I own. At one time I wrenched for a living, but moved on.

Man, no kidding!! Though really pretty, just the thought of doing it myself gave

1. Purchase Harbor Freight tool box
2. Remove US General logo with screwdriver
3. Purchase Snap On tool box logo from Snap On dealer
4. Install with epoxy
5. Use money saved to fill box with more tools
The Snap On logo will probably cost more than the Harbor Freight tool box

Starting to ride a lot again and decided to throw together another track box. I am in to this setup for less than $200 including the toolbox itself. I did already have a few items that I tossed in there, but most was purchased for this box on the cheap. Should have all the bases covered.


Standard 3 drawer Husky toolbox


What you see once you open the top lid.


Top Drawer.


Middle Drawer.


Bottom Drawer

Buddy of mine has this in his box. When I get around to re-organizing mine I plan to buy these.

No, it’s you getting ripped off by one piece of shit and then saying all tool guys are thieves is the issue. But whatever man, good luck too you I could care less what tools you chose to use. There’s a reason ever tool ive ever used in the Air Force for professional aircraft maintenance has been Snap on.

You arent doing much wrenching for the air force then. We use snap on, proto, knipex, and many more at depot level maintenance for the air force. Snap on is actually in the minority. Cornwell is what i use in my personal box, along with gear wrench, ingersoll, knipex, and cdi for tq wrenches (cdi makes the majority of snap on, mac. Amd cornwells tq wrenchs.)

I wouldnt know what flightline boxes consist of (and id guess they consist of different tools for different jobs) as i said, we do depot level maint. (Ie tear the plane down to nothing) and i assure you we use snap on and proto boxes, with snap on, proto etc. Tools. I get your point, but to infer the forces use ONLY snap on, and its therefor any better than any other brand is incorrect.

Also, if you are hung up on using snap on stuff, consider looking into williams/bahco stuff. Same quality, lower price. Tradeoff is they dont waste as much time on the chroming/finishing.

No dispute, I was only saying that out of all the bases I have been to and different aircraft types I’ve crewed, snap on brand were the tools used in the majority. Different places different tool needs Specially in depot where there would be more specialized tool required for teardown sure. My point was merely to say Snap on, MAC, MATCO, are all professional grade tools used at the highest levels of maintenance in any industry to prove the point they are held in a higher regard than the cheaper options. So to say HF box or tool is the same as those mentioned above is foolish. Point being all brands aren’t created equal and you get what you pay for just depends on the users needs.
