Just purchased this box after much thought and time! My first toolbox purchase for my work and i couldn't be more excited after seeing the quality shown in your video.
I wouldn’t know what to do being that organized! I have multiple 48”-60” boxes and I’m used to “piles” of categories. Gorgeous box, as well your entire setup. Btw your height disproportions the mass of all those boxes !
Definitely a nice box Brian, I wish it had at least a couple deep draws, thanks for showing us your new box, gearwrench is making some nice boxes these days!!
Love the channel and the wisdom you bring to it...awesome box!!!!..no comparison to the Milwaukee or husky.. 150/300 lb slides 12g steel frame , only thing better is the 30" or tool truck at 3x the price..I ended up a RollCab box. ( by extreme tools)72"box, (150/300lb drawers) hutch / two end lockers..stainless top .$4800..free delivery...side lockers help alot...👍
Looks like your biggest hurdle is the way things are organized. Toolbox Widget for wrenches, peg style socket setup, or even just the standard tray style ones will free up a ton of space, and make room for other things. Pliers are a hole other mess, and hard to organize no matter what.
I've had an Extreme Tools box for a few years now. A nice tidbit about the locks, is that the latches on the back of the drawer are spring loaded so you can just snap them closed if it's locked. By comparison, if you have a Snap On box, when you leave one unlocked, you have to slam it shut. When you slam it shut, it pushes up the locking bar in the back of the box. This means if you leave one drawer unlocked by mistake, you've actually left the whole box unlocked. My only complaint is that the drawers are just a *little* bit different width vs the tool trucks, which seem to be more of a standard, so it took some creative organization at first.
@Flat Bastard Engineering Channel I believe so. Mine's the 30" deep version, and it doesn't have the griplatch style latches. That's a new feature since I bought mine. It's also a different layout. But just looking online, the Extreme 25" box looks just like this one, same layout and same latches.
Great box. Yes one Side Locker would help dramatically. Until then, designate your Husky toolbox for Carpentry/Woodworking/Contractor type use. If that doesn't move enough over, possibly include Home Electrical and Plumbing. As an example, you have enough duplicates of screwdrivers to decide what tools you use primarily for automotive and for general use. Yes this will split up your Cordless tools, but that's a good thing to free up space. No need to keep a Jig Saw in your Automotive box. As well you might even consider centralizing your Milwaukee Box and keep your Cordless and Charging tools there. Screwdrivers should be in the top chest, lighter, easy to grab. Also I separate Metric and SAE Wrenches by drawer. You know if your going to use one or the other but separating by ratchet/non-ratchet isn't really a convenience decision. Too bad I'm not near by I could organize a couple hours...
My old box was separated by SAE and metric and it worked well, this one was so much larger I combined them and should not have. I will move the ratchets in metric up. Thank you.
You definitely need to put some of your stuff on ebay. How many angle grinders? Like 10? Drills? Impacts? Keep 2-3, and you'll need much less toolboxes. I know, I also have several drills, but I have put on sale several of them to keep me more organized.
i have an EX PROFESSIONAL bottom box from extreme tool box and that thing is built nice. i would put it up against a snap on 72" box any day of the week. i had a friend help me unload it at the house who had just bought a snap on 72" box and he was smacking himself in the head when he found out how much this thing was. if the gear wrench box is built by them it is a great box.. i do not care for the draw locks as mine uses de-tents i like that better then what this box has. i guess it is better then the snap on $12k box that uses plastic slides like they have
From what I can tell, this is a high end "Extreme Tools" box costing $8k. The current version is black with red instead of Chrome. Extreme tools make similar boxes but they are not made as well. However they are much much cheaper $3k.
Suggestion for you're grinding wheels 1 make a dowel base so you can organize them so they don't move around or you make a Dalmatian come out to the wall and put them on the wall so you can see what you have number to I'll take the Milwaukee tool box🤣😃😁😄😆😅 you guys keep up the great work I like to see the toolbox when you get finished and last but not least thank you
Harbor freight wrench organizers. Work great. HF socket organizer my fav also. Any power tools not used often.. put them into a cabinet. Organize so that as you work you can put some things back. Ok.. done with prybar.. put back. It's about how you work also. I have a cart that I put what I am using at that time on it for the day or job. End of day.. take 20 min and put shit back.. prevents missing tools.
Brian can you put all pneumatic tool up top so they are all together. Maybe a step so you can get to things on the top of the box and probably a tool cart. Just a thought.
Given how interchangeable drawer sizes are they should be giving you the option of customising it for that sticker price. Swapping two thin for a deep drawer is a couple of check marks on a job sheet. It’s always kept me away from these big boxes. I’ll buy 2 or 3 cheaper boxes I can swap drawers to my liking.
Man I feel ya..... your all over the place with where you put stuff...... I had a kid working for me...... holy crap absolutely no organization. Screw drivers in with wrenches.... Dont get me wrong it was tidy and clean....... just dont understand why hammer's are in two spots. And why the deep drewer is used for thin items. Just a thought.
What was the cost of this bad boy? I know one of you biggest gripes with the 52in Milwaukee was the price (not to mention you were soured by the HD experience), I'd assume this is in a category of its own with regards to pricing? From what I can find $7000+ thats 4-5 times that of the Milwaukee and 7-8 times that of the Husky.... This box appears to be more of a true Tool Box with real full extension draws unlike the Husky and Milwaukee, and have pro level depth and for a garage think its more appropriate. I have the Milwaukee and there are a few things I don't like but overall I like it even for the price. I'll agree the locking mechanism sucks and was poorly though out and would of rather a barrel key like my old tool box or at least the ability to take the key out when use it instead of the electronic lock.
Please talk about some of the OBD you have. I have the Creader V+ but I'm always willing to upgrade to something better. I have the Foxwell 12v battery analyzer to I like both of them especially being a DIYER.
The link appears to be to a more expensive line that is $8000. I can't find this line anywhere on the internet. if you look up "Extreme tools" boxes they have a similar tool box for much cheaper but it's not the same. Might as well get Snap-On for that price(holds its value way better). I'm pretty happy with my Milwaukee. My locks work great. If I get more tools I'll just get another Milwaukee box.
After much research I can't find this tool box for sale anywhere. Did you get it used? I saw some reviews for a similar one a couple years ago. Not sure how reviewing a product that's not available helps us. The link you gave is not for the toolbox you have and it's really expensive $8k.
I have 3 x 26” 7 drawer boxes. Quick base frame box section. Bolted to existing castor holes. 6 casters on the base. Angle section across the back. Mdf top for each box then a single sheet covering the whole thing. I did this because I HATE the big wide drawers they have on these big boxes.
Too bad you can't find this top box on the GW site any longer. I'm also upset that they showed us a bunch of nice boxes but they never actually released them.
GW finally added the link to their site that re-directs you from their site, over to Rockin Tool Boxes. That set up is $5,187.98 plus tax and delivery. Add both side storage accessories and you're up to $7,837.96. Up there with some of the tool truck brands.
You are right. Pts tools shows set for 16000. Kind of hard to compare the quality of Milwaukee or craftsman to this, kind of like comparing a Lada to a Porsche. Even the top box of a 55 inch is more expensive than the complete top and bottom of either Milwaukee or craftsman
I love to just have one box . But i have to have them Separated . My auto tools can not be with my larg equipment box and my work box is different. And my tool cart is a mix of it all
$8k for both top and bottom boxes if you follow the link he gave? This is similar but not the same.

Any car will get you around, do you drive a used Kia ? Like anything, it’s all about what makes “ you” happy.. I prefer fast cars, big trucks and high end American made tools, stored in a badass tool box. Maybe you like taking vacations or smoke a pack a day....to each his own.
@@WorkshopAddict Well you have a great assortment of tools. I'm green! Maybe you could set up a vertical cabinet for your electric tools. Have protected outlets, your chargers and tools all in the cabinet. Open the doors ans see everything at a glance.

Beautiful Set-Up!!! You should add storage lockers to each side of your Gear Wrench box, It would make a tremendous difference!!!

I plan to get that box but with the hutch and glad to see what it looks like before I buy it
Great box, love the storage. I would put my most used tools in my service cart, much easier to move around.
That makes sense.
Best comment.
I would take a look at the Extreme Toolbox line. I think they put power strips in those.
In my socket drawer, I use round thin magnets that hold all my extensions along the inside wall of the drawer. It clears alot of space in the drawer
Great idea!
Wow. I thought I had too many tools. I have two big Greenlee gang boxes and two tall chest and one Kennedy tool chest and you have me beat by a mile.
Great box.

Wow awesome box . Looks good like the way u have it set up . Cant wait to see a real tour of it . #smallenginenation.#keepwrenchin
With my OCD i would put all the Milwaukee stuff in the Milwaukee tool box, but that's just me 🤷♂️
So would I have to also buy Husky tools for the other box? 😁
At the end of the day, one box stands above all. Snap-On.
Very nice box! Thanks for another great review!

Would love to see this box compared to a HF box! I love Gearwrench, but have also heard nothing but good things about the Harbor Freight boxes!
Great idea
*GearWrench Boxes are WAY better than the 'No named freight'....*
It's not a gearwrench box it's extreme tools...and twice the box then HF
You need to check out the matco grid system. It will organize your box so much better.

Sell your Milwaukee keep your Husky to go with your new Gearwrench
Hoping to fit everything in the GW and a service cart.
Put all of the sockets on Harbor Freight socket rails and in the top or in the big drawer on the roll cab.

Did Gearwrench stop sellng a 72" box? It's not longer on their website.
I hope not. If so, it is just a branded extreme tools box
@@WorkshopAddict I couldn't find it on their website. Thanks for posting the video!!!
Get 1/4 inch plywood and some 1/2inch wooden dowels for that bottom drawer with all the grinder wheels

Wow, Now that's a nice box lol
It is awesome!
What about keeping all your doubles and triples of things in a separate toolbox
Probably smart
Very nice box but I wish the drawers were more deep
Add a grid system for your tools it will save a ton of space.
What kind of workbench was that with the blue drawers?
Those are on almost every wall in my shop. New Age Cabinets I believe.
Is the bottom of the drawers braced up? how much was the box?
