^must be loud..

[Crypto7]

It's loud but cruising it's quiet. Decel drone around 3500rpm is loud as there's no midpipe resonator. Metal converter on dp and rp.

Got these from Amazon for around $67 USD

16 spline lug nuts with key and 4 lock nuts with key. Need 2 keys to remove each wheel now!

Still busy dealing with the move but at least, I hope, my wheels won't get jacked when I shop at Walmart here in the south

You must be rolling in the dough. I can't bring myself to buy a Mastercraft box because I don't want to fork out all the money yet and it's on sale too.

[bubba1983]

now thats a haul..
looks the same size as my box...
love it!

[SomeGuy]

God damn ... that's one crazy puller set. What do you do?

[m_bisson]

I always wondered, if you mechanics change jobs, how do you move your tools? Hire a truck and fork lift?

My buddy did it, took most of his drawers out, and loaded the box laying down on a trailer.

most times, the tool truck will move it for you if you have a good relationship with them, and especially if you happen to have a job on their same route

it can be done in a pickup truck...but thats a tonn of weight, and will bend you box...(been done)

but if theirs a will, theirs a way. even empty, these boxes weigh a crapload

I bought these wrenches some time in May; 5/16" thru 1-5/8".
Came in handy on old trucks and especially when all of my pullers/presses are imperial.
For tools, you usually get what you pay for. The alloy steel of my Snap-on wrenches are harder than the steel used in my hub & bearing puller and have carved into the tool's hardened pressure screw.
They are forged for a lifetime of hard service.

I wish! But, sadly, it was partially on borrowed money, including from a rather generous better half.
Sometimes, I feel like I'm her concubine and she's my sugar mama.
These are some of the purchases spread over the past 4 weeks or so.
FYI: my latest paychecque was less than $1'000. So this trade is not really a money-maker, for the most part.

Automobiles. Was looking for the CJ2000SB set since last year, but not willing to drive to Colorado to pick up a beat up and repo'd puller set for a deal.
More recently, I've been rebuilding gearboxes and have had to pull the gears from the shafts.

@bubba1983 is right. Usually, technicians will want to have their regional tool dealer (Mac, Snap-on, Matco) to move the boxes, depending on their repertoire.
Tool boxes of this capacity are transited with the tools in them. For me, I had to hire a flatbed and use a lot of cargo straps.
This box is rated to carry 8'000 lbs., so there are no other alternatives aside from a tractor trailer + insurance.

Let me know who the clone works out... Looking on building one but my buddy had some issues with his... So still on the fence

[Kiewan]

How much

36$ for the wrench, 29ish$ for the wheel locks and the anodized heads were given to me by my uncle because he has multiple sets.

[bubba1983]

+1 on the toolbox weight
it takes 4 grown men, to lift a full top chest onto a rollcab. our matco guy purchased a winch to hang from his garage ceiling to assist him to lift full top chests onto the rollcabs

since were talking boxes, heres my brute money pit

I've wanted to get a tattoo for my Mom since she passed in 09. Glad I waited. Super happy with how it turned out.
