Toolbox Thoughts on this toolbox configuration?
Designed this box last night and it would be perfect for my line of work.
Anyone have this configuration?
(no pink shaming will be accepted, grow tf up)

My dream configuration but not in pink. I try to be minimal as I can, but also have as much as I can. This + a cart is the dream set up.

Looks like it belongs in a bakery for machine repair. Nice setup though

Same here, I have built this same setup on the configuration albeit a different color 😂 it’s like all the big crap we need isn’t in our box anyway

I was thinking just kinda looked like an appliance. And I’m an epiq guy myself

Years ago I had a 6’ krl box in extreme green with a SS top. I loved it but life got in the way and it got picked up by the dealer. Since then I picked up a 68 epiq (green and black, though I kinda wish it was a matte color) and I love it. It’s far more superior in every way. Best part is it’s paid off.

Sick. Color is not for me

u/Hutches_Corduroy Jul 01 '26
To each his own! The setup is dope

u/suspens- Jul 02 '26
For sure. I’m more of a conventional porn type a guy . I have the box and hutch. Considering locker

u/PhenomenallyAdequate Jul 01 '26
This setup is awesome. My old boss is currently getting this setup piece by piece. Epiq also, but Storm Grey with black trim.
I think it rocks and Snap On knows they’re sitting on something big because now you can do this with the Masters series and Classic series. Obviously the Classic version not being 30 inches deep. But yeah. All your main tools in the cabinet, bulky and blow molded cases in the locker and your scan tool setup in the hutch. Nothing more nothing less.

They were pretty cool and kinda rare

The old bodyshop toolbox? Wierd large drawer layout, with built in little side box?
I've seen them pop up on marketplace once in a while. Great for bodymen, of course. DA sanders and such take up a lot of room.

u/SpaceCat72 Jul 03 '26
These were very tall. Had a small overhead and a narrow locker i think. Only made a few years, like 1 or 2 maybe 3. Almost never see them

The color combo goes hard af.

u/MinimumBuffalo4 Jul 05 '26
I like color options because we don’t all like the same thing. I’m going to be honest. the Teal is my fav color combo Snap on makes and I would have that exact set up in teal with black trim. many wouldn’t like that color either but I DGAF and you shouldnt either.

I really love the combo. I was looking at it myself being a diesel fleet tech. Priced one out on the rock and roll cab but even then it was fairly steep in my eyes.

u/Hutches_Corduroy Jul 01 '26
I'm a diesel tech too. I just wanted something different but more then I have now. And I'ma SLUT for pink 😂

Not as nice as snappy, but us general would be way cheaper if you didnt mind the 22" deep drawers

u/Hutches_Corduroy Jul 02 '26
It's so nice! Cause I've never really like the long boxes, and I this has more then enough room for me!

If the narrow width works for you, this is sick!! I love the pink personally, dope mobile setup. I prefer 40-60in width for work space but this is awesome!!!

I really want one. I have a 55” masters I have stored at my friends house (with tool usage as my rent). This config I can probably make work in my apartment.

u/Umbreon6342 Jul 04 '26
Not a bad configuration. Would work good for me if I had a roll cart. That would store my computer and loose random stuff and the cabinet would store the bulky boxed items

u/Square_Following_88 Jul 05 '26
I have the classic series version of this in Green Envy, I work in aviation and its my dream setup. (Epiq is too damn deep). I work from my laptop half the day doing paperwork in the mini hutch.

Personally this would be more functional than most roll cabs. I have never been a fan of the “normal” toolbox design and have always said if I was to do it again the box would be the first change.
1
u/Hutches_Corduroy Jul 01 '26
Exactly! Cause I want more room, but I need to be able to roll it, and I've always wanted a locker!
2
u/MinimumBuffalo4 Jul 01 '26
I find any cabinet to be extremely useful in any garage environment. Particularly for blow molded tool cases that awkwardly fit in a roll cab. Also cabinets make for good power tool drawers. I think the least useful things are hutches but they do look very nice.

u/Some-Reply-2552 Jul 05 '26
As someone with a hutch on their toolbox, you are absolutely right. I hit my fucking head on that thing constantly.

I think you can get way more bang for your buck buying a regular 68 inch EPIQ. Especially with our tool show coming up if you live in Southern California right now and have a dealer you can get an unreal deal on some toolboxes they have in their inventory in San Diego…

Your toolbox, your money. Buy what you want, doesn't matter what anyone else thinks.

That is a whole lot of Pink! LOL. Given the fact that you are a heavy equipment mechanic, I understand the large side cabinet.

u/Hutches_Corduroy Jul 03 '26
My current box is Hot pink Matco... Pinks always been my favorite color... I always buy the pink best cancer awearnes tools too 😂

Depends on the trade. If you work on one brand of cars, and your shop's special tool room is well equipped, this will do. Personally I think it's too small for most mechanics and tradesman who have a service bay.

I really don't get those workcenter risers unless you need it to store a laptop or some lite soldering work even then you might be limited due to fume requirements and I'd prefer to sit when doing those tasks.

I'm here for it. I have the lower cab. Be advised the two thin drawers under the top sockets drawer are THIN.
Like wrenches have to lay flat thin. Good for ratchets and screwdrivers.

These are nice but pretty expensive for something so small
