Top drawer of a master autotech's toolbox. Took me about 5-7 years in the industry to get to finally fill up my top drawer.
Edit: wow people like tools! I'll take a try and take a better pic tomorrow. Hard to get an angle you can really appreciate. All the sockets are snap on. Mac tool box. Send pics of tools?
Steamymuffin
Hmmm I'm guessing you've got. Lot of nuts too

Me and dad were working on our truck with tools. We used the tools for all the things we did on the truck. Needless to say, we lost.
Jakethesnake357
12 year tech here....That is a lot of goddamn money.... Fucking drooool....
FourOutOfFiveGreatLakesPreferMichigan
As a surgical tech, I approve of these organization skills.

*spends two hours organizing. Back to a mess after one project*

The only Mac worth spending $10k on.

Every mechanics favorite phrase " where the fuck is that God damn.... Oh there it is"
hitheremynameisshook
If I showed you my tool bag and how unorganized it is, you would weep.
PhatD
That bit driver set in the black case is amazing!

That many snapon sockets must have cost a fucking fortune.

This is porn

This is what I wanna do. Specifically diesel mechanic. I just don't know where to start with the trade school and financial aid.
mooseknuc
I would take this drawer out on a date.

Update please
Farmacopeia
Holy hell. So you have ALL THE SOCKETS but evidently no wrenches? I love seeing wrenches all lined up neatly in my dad's boxes.
nothingleft13
Lol wrenches are in a different drawer
qwerty4007
Why, that's very OCD of you. Thank you for sharing.

I used to have no appreciation for tools until I actually started using them for my job! I'll trade you some +1's for more pictures!
CellPrincess
Eep
Soundwave66
And not one of those sockets is a 10mm.
mexifra
I keep a few of them on hand just for that reason
fonfonroo11
And God made the 10 mm socket and It was goo ... Wait!! Where!!! It's fuckin gone!!
Steamymuffin
"Where the fuck is the fucking..... Oh there it.... Nope nvm god fucking damnit"
veedubbin
Where's the 13?
secretoaster
My eternal question
KillerTofu615
Why's it always the 13 that goes missing?
CaptainOfTheFederationStarshipEnterprise
Can confirm. Have a box of 13 from buying more and eventually finding the others.
Codedependent
I think every socket set should come with at LEAST 2x 10mm sockets.
SuperiorSwedesNewAccount
I have spare 8, 10 and 13 with in reach no matter where in the garage I am.
governmentgavemeagun
12 for me, never 13, because japanese motorbikes. Oddly, most other things seem to have 13 instead of 12. 8-10-12-14-17, the holy hand-of-5
Bedarande
Those only show up when you're looking for something else. and never any other time.
Rogansan
Come to our Tool Room, nothing fucking but.
Soundwave66
So that's where they all disappear too...
RxPro
You must own a honda
prumdogmillionaire
I always have a problem finding a deep 15mm.
CapitalSeven
Bike mechanic?
woodenbadger
Trying to resist saying 'your mom didn't'. I'm sure she's a lovely woman.
MrRobSteel
All the 12 year old CoD players think so.

Thats fucking porn man

OH my nuts.
zorbert2007
Correction......that's man porn +1
SwarzeTrauer
Yes, yes it is.

I have a lady boner. Straight. Female. Engineer. My ex was a genius engineer but never put tools back. aargh.
Devious11
Sorry about all the times the rape truck touched your wallet inappropriately. Also +1
TysonGoesOutside
Hey! That wallet was asking for it!
Eoscronus
I never understood why people buy snapon.
Farmacopeia
Dad likes the free replacements. Same with Craftsman. Bought a broken tool for cheap at a swap meet, took it to Sears, exchanged for new.
drewa9
At 100x the cost of any other tools. Oh, you need 1 Phillips head screw driver? $90 please.
nothingleft13
In comparison to other top brands, certain tools are more precise than cheaper brands, more durable(we break lots of tools) etc.
Jakethesnake357
Also, imo, they have better ergonomics.
CityZenK
This. Their trailer anchor pin pusher is the only one I've found that never requires pulling of the hub to use. Saves 1hr per wheel.
CityZenK
That being said, I always laugh at the wrench sets that require a bank loan.
Muttons1337
There's an old joke about that. The only regret I'll have on my deathbed is not telling my wife exactly how much I spent on those tools.
MisterDictionary
I think it might be "My greatest fear is dying and my wife selling off my tools for the amount I told her I spent on them."
Muttons1337
Yes. This is more descriptive.
Goosebob
They are very good tools, but as it's been said, they tear you a new one on the cost. Mind boggling when you know what it cost to make it.
youngmountaingoat
Don't they replace for free for life if anything breaks?
Eoscronus
They do but plenty of other USA made brands do the same thing.
anodoin
Way more durable and reliable than the standard off the shelf variety, but even still, hard to justify the cost.
nothingleft13
Yeah I like a lot of Matco stuff. Went all snap on with the sockets. Some of my Matco ones would strip stuff sometimes
anodoin
I'd do tool truck for ratchets, torque wrenches, etc., but box wrenches and other things I go bargain most of the time. I don't work on>>
anodoin
anything that I can't go buy a new bolt for if I have to mangle the thing out.
Eoscronus
Ever try Armstrong?
Jakethesnake357
I've got a large armstorng wrench set. They work, and are comfortable
gaggleOmidgets
That's a really nice collection of wasted money you got there. As a master tech myself, I also spent thousands unnecessarily.
4ShoYo
I keep a full inventory of all my tools w/ part numbers and prices for insurance purposes...my wife found it one day and flipped out!
Steamymuffin
mmm mmm I bet that was a fun conversation
loser9999
Think of all the repairs you didn't have to pay for. Excluding parts.
IAMWEARINGSPACEPANTS
Did your wife pay for all your tools?
4ShoYo
No, but if you don't work in an industry were tools are a requirement, you won't know how expensive it can get. She thought I was (1/2)
4ShoYo
spending money unnecessarily just so I can have a new "toy" to play with. She still doesn't realize that I use most of what I have everyday.
