- Updated 2023 tour of my 68" Snap-on Epiq series toolbox. Box has power top, power drawer, spee drawer, blacked out badges, and blacked out casters. Box is filled with a combination of Snap-on, Mac, Capri, Gearwrench, Astro, Craftsman and a few others. If you see anything I am missing that would be great for small engines feel free to leave a comment below.
For organization I use Kaizen foam, Snap-on organizers, and Westling USA billet socket trays.

For those who think snap on toolboxes are overpriced…I bought a masters series 72” with stainless top, hutch & locker along with a 32” 3 drawer cart in 2006 for a package deal price of $11,500. I decided to trade it in last month on a 68” epiq and matching roll cart..my dealer gave me $10,000 trade in value…only lost $1,500 in 17 years..pretty damn good. Great video! Love the organization.
You can't exactly go by hard numbers. People seem to forget this.
You paid 11,500 in 2006 which was almost 20 years ago. Your not taking inflation into account. Which makes your 11,500 in 2006 equivalent to roughly 17,500 today. You did not lose 1,500 my friend. You lost 7,500. Which is over 40%.
If my grandpa bought a car in 1950 for 4000 and sells it in 2023 for the same 4k, he didn't "get his money back". That 4k back in 1950 would've taken a long time to get. Modern times is 2-3 paychecks. This is obviously an extreme example.
Think of it this way...
If you put that 11,500 into some sort of investment fund back in 2006, you would be unhappy with a return of 13,500 by 2023 because it doesn't even match inflation.
See my point?
To further my point for the last time... Your snap on dealer would not have taken your 2006 box on trade plus 1500 cash for the IDENTICAL box in 2023. THAT brother would be losing 1500
@@zacharyantoneshyn9295 that was the worst description. Inflation has nothing do with this situation, however, depreciation does. That box, like your grandpas car, looses value every year, or depreciates in value.
Inflation anyways averages 2% a year..which comes to $3910 over 17 years..so your math is way incorrect.
@@tommyk1073nah bro, do some research a dollar today is worth way less than in 2006.
Did you finance your master series back in 2006? And did you finance the difference on the new Epic? Or did you buy them outright to have to get the deal? Just curious.
@@ecleveland1 I paid the masters off in 6 months..I had a zero percent, 6 month convenience check for my charge card. Had I not paid it off in 6 months, I’d get hit with a 19.99% rate. When I traded it in and the remaining balance of $6000, I paid my snap on dealer $2000 a month for 3 months. He didn’t charge me any interest. If you’re good to your snap on dealer and don’t avoid paying him, he will be more than willing to work with you.
Man, I got the entire Tekton socket collection just cuz it's a no skip set up and the sizes are roll stamped as well as printed. Use them daily professionally and have zero complaints. Had to use the Tekton warranty for a socket wrench, it was a 48hr turnaround from the moment of filling out the warranty form online.
I'm over in the UK, and for professional mechanics tools we get the choice of Snap On or Mac (including Facom) tool trucks, plus a few independents selling a mixture of brands. Over the last couple of years I have been trying out some mid-priced U.S. brands from Amazon, and I have to say I'm impressed. I've bought tools from Astro, Capri, Gearwrench, Vim, OEM, and Tekton, and they have all been of much better quality than our home-grown versions. For me the stand out is Tekton.....I replaced all my old, worn out S.A.E. sockets and my 12 point (non flank drive) metrics. The fit, finish and overall quality is outstanding for the money!
It's your tool box and your choice what tool brands you want to but to put in that kick-ass snap-on tool box :) Rock-on brother !!!!
When you said “great purchase” I felt that. I have a 68” epic and have made my living doing small engine repair for the last few years. Was laid off this week. I don’t have quite the weight in my box you do, but I’m definitely getting me some foam and doing a little overhaul before rolling her into a new shop. I feel like it’s such a beautiful sight when I open my drawers, but some of you guys really set me back to reality.. My one take away is to be more organized, or neat in appearance is really what I mean.
I’ve had techs talk shit about my tekton sockets, so I ask them to break one and/or strip a bolt while using one. 5 techs later, no complaints.
Hard to beat the quality of Snap-on toolboxes. The Epiq box is hard to grasp how large it is in a video/picture. They are truly massive, and yours is just PACKED.
I love an organized toolbox but my hat goes off to you for doing the foam here and there. I think you might enjoy toolbox widgets honestly, finally replaced all my wrench rails and couldn’t be happier.
Those epic’s are so nice! Nice shop too man!
Love the organization and usage of the normal trays in conjunction with your own foam. Very dialed in!
i buy a lot of snap on but have started getting capri here and there !!! got their 88 piece master bit set instead of the blue point one and i think they blow them out of the water great quality gonna get more
Justin Sturgil’s saviors. Jst trucking and snap- on junkie channel
I got deep shallow and mid 3/8 capri impact sockets and also shallow and deep 3/8 chrome and they are fantastic sockets I don't care what anybody says
Great set of tool ! Box is very nice clean and organized
Capri sockets are the shit! So are tekton!
Feels like a 84 inch epic with left side locker,locks and full lighting may be on market place soon……I hope not. It’s sapphire blue with black trim btw.
Beautiful box! I def need to get a snap-on tool box… im running out of room! But hey i noticed you have your gold Icon ratchet!
Nothing wrong with Capri tools, a high dollar box it just a box to hold stuff with yes they have nice bearings and stuff but spend. Your money they way you want to. Tools are tools they all break just like machines just some are weaker then others . Nice setup you got.
Exactly
Really cool to see I'm a truck and heavy equipment tech 8 years in working out of a over flowing 52" DeWalt box I paid less than a grand for have dented drawers broken slides drawers held shut with screwdrivers random Jammed in plus some other overloaded boxes and and a service eyeing up the same box but for the opposite end of the trade although I do tinker with the small stuff abit to those noco boosters work great I have two of the bigger ones for boosting dead 24v equipment
Pretty sweet capri has good shit
Those are Westling aluminum socket organizer trays… Not Mayhew.
8:47 can you go into detail about the flat 90 degree adapters , on the blue rails by the extensions? I have some and use them a lot, but whenever anyone sees them in my tray , they can’t figure out what they are.
Big Teton fan here. 👍🏻
Where did u get the decal on the bottom of the roll cart
Hey, what organizer trays are you using? Also, you gotta make a little display stand for that 24K ICON ratchet! 😂 Also, love the Kaizen. I have this fantasy that one day my tool collection will be complete and I'll sit down and cut foam for a week straight to have my tools organized once and for all.
does the rail/rack setup used for your 8 power tools come stock in the box? the only snapon one i found on their site holds 5 tools. thank you!
Crazy people could cry about sockets that are same quality as snap on for 1/4 of the price lol
Great video thanks for sharing, you got a part number on the snap on 3/8 snap on nut driver?
Do you prefer the antivibe or snap on hammer?
i put jb weld on everything i work on
Shop tour?
I disagree. JB weld is awesome.
I used it to fix a 12” long crack in an engine block back in the 90’s.
That ford 300 straight 6 just wouldn’t quit!
You got all kind of money
What exactly do you fix? None of these tools look used
I have a snap on master series and i can say some people are just dumb with their money.
What’s the part number?
How dare you attack JB weld like that lol I use that stuff all the time it's wonderful and you can be thinking the Lord that I'm not a professional
For whomever it was that was so concerned about what brand tools you have, just tell them to buy you some and mail them on over. Until then stfu and mind your business, unbelievable.
