subscriber John reached to me. he is cleaning out a property that is in his family. while checking out an old truck and a outboard, this toolbox was up for grabs, lets drag it home and see what is in it. special thanks to john and john,
When was the last time you think somebody was in there um it's been years. So, let's see i'd have to say about 15., oh cool. I think we're pissing off the bees a little bit stash in here a little bit. That's vw! I don't know if it's original yeah, it's i'm thinking a little later looks a little on the later side.
Am fm, go back in here's an outboard, you think somewhere. Okay, actually i like the little tiny electric one too, that might be able to go on the beaver. It's got the right vintage look to it. That looks like 70s.
I can't guarantee that one works. No, i hm smarter, oh yeah got it eight horse. That one looks like a good willow run. Huh guys see if we can take that one.
His name's anymore looks heavy, but i think we get out of here. Oh definitely that one. So we need a deal on the outboard. Now we're gon na go dig this puppy out.
What do you think yeah? It still turns over. That's a good sign. It did have a uh, a ventile above it, so mother nature's been going on it, but it doesn't seem like it's hurt if it still turns. Let him do the heavy work tight quarters, it's the best invention and they weren't expensive.
Well, it's going to wheel out a toolbox. You know. So, let's see how this goes. For us.
This might be interesting. Yeah, all the drawers gon na open. You have a keto. You can lock them up, maybe or put the bars drop the bar down.
Okay, that's what they're made for this ought to be a thousand pound mess, huh, i'm on a nut or something over yeah here, yeah home, sweet home. So my hope is to be able to take that slide. It back down have the wheels hit into the dirt and be able to stand it back up. I don't think it's gon na work, but we're gon na give that a shot see how it goes, yeah sure not sketchy at all.
So so that's not sketchy. You only caught it by the bolt, you don't have it by the frame tv set that down right there and we'll roll it into the garage. So how much we going all right. So i say we get the bus out of here and we'll get some working room, we'll start opening all these drawers on the toolbox.
I only opened a few on there to give a quick look. I saw a bunch of mouse nest material and that kind of thing. So i know it's got a bunch of issues and i don't even know what we got for tools. So, let's get that taken care of we'll get into it and we'll see what kind of prizes we have on the inside.
That's cracker open! You can go, let's go to the left-hand side. First work our way down. I think we're gon na get a mouse and everything's gon na be pushed to the back there. You go yeah just some miscellaneous.
I don't think anything, nothing special there like paperwork for the toolbox itself, it's a mag, light, first aid kit and something that shifted to the back. What we got here, let me rearrange that camera a little bit there. We go torches, that's up self lighting, one yeah, whether it works or not, we'll go find out plumb, bob, some sawzall blades, more sawzall, blades ruler, a bunch of drill bits, a lifetime supply of tie wraps golden helmet. Is it auto darkening or is it just a? It's just a regular one and a couple of putty knives, a tray, cable, some moldy gloves all right. Let's go kick her over to the middle. Oh! Is it getting windy out we'll wait on that one? Oh, we got some sockets. What are the brands on these stanley? I think it's stanley so go through those see what kind of sets we got. It's probably a wrench that fell off the door above it.
Cement bits is a bag of sockets metric three-eighths drive, metric quarter and three-eighths, and what that is a deep that one's pretty decent keep going hardware. It actually all stayed too. I'm surprised the drawers fall, that's decent. We can keep that and locate that out of the toolbox, though more hardware, and it stayed busting up cement busting up cement.
What is this gfi plug? I think so. Yeah camera belt got a drill. A half inch reversible is a hammer drill, regular drill. It looks like we got a set of impact sockets because they made by are they china? Are they taiwan six shallow impacts? Let's go we'll have some for there because we don't think we have a set of those here things in there, a couple of taps.
Those are good little step drill bits like some small ones too. What's the name on them? Is there a name on it? Need my eyeball fixtures hold on unibit? I think that's a decent one. It doesn't look like a harbor freight setup. All right see what else we got section number three: a bunch of files, i'm not driving, i don't there's a set there.
I see three pieces. Funky pair of scissors, empty ammo pack set a couple of vice grips and the real vice grips they're decent. That's probably a punch set yep tape. Do you ever get old, masking tape and doesn't want to come off the reel? Actually, this is foam.
This is a two-sided tape. It looks like, but even with the two-sided tape or any tape that you get. If it doesn't work, throw it in the microwave for about 30 seconds, you know when it just rips when it comes apart, you put it in the microwave it loosens the glue up a lot of times it recovers. Jesus.
The winds are kicking up, get your envelopes. What is that, whatever? It is, it's ideal wire, crimpers wire strippers needle nose. This is supposed to be for getting rid of sharp edges. Now the bits are in it good.
So this is when you cut metal and uh go on, there's, probably a quick release there. You go yeah so that takes the edge off of metal after you cut it d bearing tool yeah, we got down in the big drawer, leather knee pads, nylon ones, big extension cord a vise. It looks like i had a bike set up here on the toolbox. Here's some holes jewels for it.
Let's see, i actually don't see as much mouse damage as i thought we were going to run into that when i flipped it over. It all went back all right. We got what the big draw on top to go. Do yet. Let's go see if that one will open for us we're going in. Can you see i'd, say a bunch of miscellaneous, i'm not seeing anything. That's funky! What's up 1983 razer blades, those are good, be in usa, hammers carpenter's hammer, another rivet gun. I think that's supposed to be an air gun, a couple locks with no keys some gooeyness to it.
Actually, it's not. I was expecting a ton of mouse damage that probably had a bunch of this junk laying in it yeah expect that did you me neither all right said neil well, we got the one drawer below where the wrench is stuck in. It might have some wrenches in. Let me go work on getting that one open.
I believe it's this one, exactly call that a set, maybe larger, set and then a tiny set nothing in between. Though that's all right. I think i have some of that stuff. All right, i'm gon na go empty.
All this crap out we're gon na go put all the tools on the bench, all the stuff, that's worthwhile and then we're gon na start rearranging this toolbox to make it a little more user friendly for me and put her to work. Here's the vice. I should probably crack that open huh like i said that was mounted right here. Don't know if i want to go put that back up.
There may be new and never even hooked up, yeah small, that's a different spread than what was on there, a little toy because there's another one already on my bench right there. So that's that toolbox is gon na be right here. So i don't know how much we're gon na care about that this is one i had in my basement for the longest time. That's gon na sit on top of this.
What's wrong about this box over here, it's got this weird kind of tray set up in the back and it's blocked off. You can't put anything right up against the wall. It doesn't lean up against the back wall very well, and just the the setup of the the drawers are not very conducive to trying to set wrenches up here. I'll give you a tour of this one real quick again.
This is just my my home setup. I've been kind of grabbing stuff at yard sales and throwing them in here so that i have something for home, nothing's organized and this side. We just got a couple of power tools. I'm probably just going to kick this to the other side of the garage and try to keep all the the mechanical tools in this one.
Let's see this one too more junk miscellaneous is that the wrenches for the mid size, nothing, nothing really, and nothing really all right. We go get the cleaning and fill up that bench toolbox is all emptied out and here's the after hole, i'm gon na call it through the other stuff that was really trash. I'm not gon na use away, but there's a decent amount of bits and pieces in here some stuff is like. I got a million of miscellaneous allen, wrenches and that kind of thing some files for uh homework.
I don't know if i want to do homework. I'd rather stick with wrenching sockets. We got a decent amount uh. I just filled up one of the totes with stuff that was rolling around in there. Whether they're sets in there i don't know yet and then there's some in this bag. Yet i have some uh. The metal racks that hold these, unfortunately, they are at the shop and i'm gon na probably go take a ride and get them because i also do not have a shop back here and i do have two over at the garage. So i'm gon na go grab that and go vacuum that box out of there.
There's all the hardware bins sitting on the floor. Everything i have not done is pulled the bottom three drawers out, i'm sure there's a bunch of crap from when i put it on its side that fell down to the back and ran down. Let's really quickly pop those out and see what we got. It's got a couple of levers on the side that you lift up on that one.
Where is it needing that up down tweezer right away, see a wrench, quick peek? I don't see anything in that far one. We got down here a bunch of hardware, one of them from 1983 nut driver drill bit not too much. I expected to see more actually before i take off to get some necessities. Let's go.
Try that torch see if that'll work for us be nice to have one of these here. You think i guess it probably works. Oh yeah, nice, my favorite part so far, and these were my toolboxes that were at the house, but they went to the big house on my stash and i ordered extra of these guys. I like using these, because you can pick them up and walk away with them and bring through your project and put them back so we'll grab these and some more.
That should be more than enough that shopback can go to the house, maybe a funnel or three. Some different sizes going here we'll get that one that little one we'll call that good. So we get a can of some kind of lube for the sliders on the drawer. It'll work ice cream break.
You got your own coming. That's gross back at the office got her all empty vacuumed out, rather i'm just going to go run around. Do that to all the drawers. Well, that's all set.
Now we got to go organize. What we're gon na go put where i kind of like it, set up this big drawer right here, all my sockets and everything will go in there. Hopefully it will fit in that capacity and then i go from like most common, the least common. As you go further and further away plus you got to work with the drawers.
What fits too so it'll probably be screwdrivers uh, pliers and wrenches in these three. Then you start getting into hammers and you know bigger items. Pry bars that kind of thing as the lower ones, the outskirts we'll figure that out as we go along. So what i'm gon na go.
Do i'm gon na go empty everything i got out here for sockets on the bench i'm gon na go get all the clips in get them all organized into little racks, see what i have and then we'll go see about setting it up. Plus i can make myself a little shopping list of things that i need so here's a good example all that stuff. In that case, you have to go put that in the toolbox locked up every time you got to go in it open it up, go, find a hunt around for what you want. You put them on these racks. As soon as you open the drawer, you can see what you have and you're ready to go grab. It take the whole thing just with you. If you want to go work with it, instead of trying to dig the case out and bring that with you in the after shot, that's pretty good huh a little more organized. I kind of like to lay them this way, because every time when you open and close the door, they don't get slammed around and move too much.
Whereas if you turn all this stuff sideways, it has a tendency to roll around the other toolbox. I have them going the other direction. I've got dividers that kind of keep everything secured once you get them so full all the gaps are kind of filled in really nothing moves around anyway. So that's a definite improvement.
I got a lot of doubles of stuff. A lot of those uh 3a sets in the middle are pretty much repeating each other, but at some point i'll make a little handheld toolbox for cars and i'll kick some of them out of there all right, i'm gon na go uh fast forward. I'm gon na knock out a bunch of the other stuff and i'll just kind of bring you back and that's our end result parking spot. Yes, refrigerator has to go in the house at some point: uh here's the layout! Let's go see what we got when you already saw.
It came out pretty good. I have some drawers. I've left actually empty. It's a screwdriver drawer, plier drawer, essentially cutting stuff clamping, stuff and stuff in between wrenches.
I have to get the racks i like to stain them on the little racks that you you set up a whole set. You tape to the bottom of the drawer, and you do another set over here. The opposite direction. You just kind of fill the whole space in, but you'll know right away.
Here's a 13 millimeter where to go grab it and it goes back in the same place. You know if one's missing and two drawers will be the wrenches so that it's still to be to be determined check these out a little bit of adjustment to make homemade and hammer drawer overflow of oddballs and it's drills and sanders and impact guns, heat gun, drills And bits the second one uh close to it: kind of the same media chapman set allen. Wrenches, allen, packs taps that is the punch set, that is a dremel files and chisels inside. We have a saw and a drill, overflow, overflow overflow, that is cutting and measuring, and this is kind of electrical - was i'm going with right now the top box is pretty much empty.
It's kind of the same idea. It's gon na sit here for as stuff comes in, it gives you a place to expand, and eventually what i'll do is i'll. Take a marker on just right on each drawer what they are because i'll forget how many times i walk over. You just grab the wrong one so, but that has worked out pretty good at least just kind of clean things up a little bit gives me something to work with where before it was really just a disaster, everything was really cobbled together. I think the other cabinet, which is that one right there i took the back off of it - the thing that sat behind it and sat it on top. I might get rid of it all together, i'm not sure that little vice i might put over there, because the grinders are on the wall, so sometimes you give it an area to go work over there i may put. I have a flux core welder. I want to set up somewhere over here - maybe set it on top of that or on its own cart, not sure yet.
But i want to do all that, for, like hardware tie wraps some of the stuff that came in with this rags containers. That kind of thing i think, we're gon na set that one up with, because uh the drawers are kind of sucky on it. It's not really good for uh rolling in and out using constantly, but you know for the stuff that you don't use that much. I think it took a crash at some point.
It's really caved in on one side, pretty bad somebody hammered it back out and fixed it, but it's pretty tough alrighty guys for those who had missed the old shop. I did plan on uh getting things together here. A little bit more functional once in a while doing something easy. I can kind of go pick at working on things inside here, because it we, i i raped everything and brought it over to the other shop, the big shop but uh.
I do want this one to be somewhat functional, but the woofloo got in the way and all my yard sales that i was supposed to restock this place got screwed up last year, so this year, i think, by the end of the year i'll have it taken Care of and we'll have stuff functional that we can kind of pick away and do some things in here and have a yeah the little wrench in session wrenching sessions to uh go pick away and uh. If i get something a little or small around the house, that needs mechanical repairs, we'll turn the camera on a lot of guys. Uh seem to like hanging out in this garage more than hanging out in the other. One i'd be two in a way, but the other one has just that much more space to be able to do what i need to do all right guys.
I'm rambling thanks for hanging out i'll, see you soon bye, but before you go, i'm gon na take the jumper pack and hook it to that little electric troller motor and see. If it does anything, the gas one will do at a different date. But let's go uh, grab the jumper pack and stick that on the bench and see if it makes any noise pincher by the shaft. Let me get a let's probably get it that way.
You see what we're doing as long as the blade doesn't have anything got this funky, that's kind of flapping around yeah, we'll just go. Oh weed deflector looks like it's aftermarket, though huh. Let's get that rid of that. Is it clear, let's see if it works first before i start investing in it, that's the controller for it. Let's get the jumper pack on it. Let's see what we get here we got, it doesn't feel like. It turns very well looks like the back's broken off of it. What does the light? Do? That's where the light does.
It turns the light off all right. Let's go forward and clear: oh yeah, reverse nice. Let's go! Does this work yeah nice? We just got to take that knob off fix, whatever mounts that switch on the back side of it there. What's that a battery gauge, i don't even know what it is.
What does that do? Well, that was easy. The beaver yeah his jokes. There is a machine. I put together oh three or four years ago, it's an amphibious vehicle.
It is the worst vehicle i've ever ridden driven rid on uh it it's just horrible. Anyway, it's from the 60s. It's a three-wheeled, amphibious vehicle that is supposed to be propelled by the tires, and it's just horrible you get in the water. Forget it, you don't go anywhere.
So one of the thoughts was to throw a vintage trolling motor on the back of it, and if we can rig that up at some point and put that on there, maybe give that a second shot and see if we're able to put it across the water. A little bit better than what it did on the first time, all right guys. Now, i'm done i'll, see you bye. I give up what is that or if it's like a cushman or something got me my craftsman seat, but that's from something else missing drive.
It's a sweeper street sweeper or a lawn sweeper. You think an engine sat here or there's an engine in it looks like something looks like it probably sat right there huh. This is another cover that opens up big open area right here. Oh, let's go that's what they get tongs.
Are they do the sweeping yeah the engine was right here they cut it off. It was too much for me thought it was interesting, though. Let's check out the snow, blower old, toro dead, toro pass on that too.
This video emphasizes why a person should try to keep their hoard of stuff organized. I have been involved with several of these clean ups and the value of most stuff is not worth saving. Very nice work getting the tool box and tools out.
I work on lawn mowers and snowblowers as a side job. Come across alot of stinky varnished up carbs. I dont have an ultra sonic cleaner Yet. But i do go to the Dollar store and get an arm full of oven cleaner. Pull the bowls off and put in a plastic container with rest of the carb and blast every thing with oven cleaner. Wear plastic gloves. Let sit for 10 min. I spray with garden hose and varnish comes right off. I use small piece of scotch brite on stuborn stuff. Try it works amazing and its only a buck. a can !

I don’t normally comment but been a follower of yours for quite a while.
So sorry for you and your brides loss. These animals become such a part of our life’s.
Keep up the good work
One thing that is ALWAYS useful is one of those “Rubbermaid” carts (workman’s utility cart) that are usually either 2’ or 14” wide. They are fantastic for loading up tools and being able to have a moving project base of operations. Got used to using them in the trades, now mine’s sitting in my storage unit until I buy a new house or find a place to rent with some storage.
Sorry to hear about your baby girl, bet the house is WAY too quiet now.
In the "Over-flow" of odd-balls, the blue tool there is for working on slate roofs. It's used to remove nails by sliding it under the edge of the slate tile, hooking it around a nail shaft then hitting it with a hammer on the angled part while you hold the short round part to shear the nail off. Sorry to hear about Lily.. my condolences.
Maybe you can do some weekend stuff out of the old shop and make videos for us to watch. like once a week have a day in the shop working on stuff from around the house. would be cool to see ya working from there again sometimes
i have a master key for that best lock
i have a lot of those same tools …that blue ideal gripper is for gripping fish tape not for pulling romex thrue pipe…which is a code violation
Awe mate soo sorry to hear of lillys passing she was a lovely old girl. Just saw ur comment was going to say about the “wooflu” but its muted now thoughts are with you and urs Per Ardua
Hi guys, a bit of said news, this is the last clip of lilly as she passed away sat, after 16 years with us, She suffered from seizures pretty bad to the point she could not drink or eat, meds helped for a while. its been tuff as we do not have kids. loved our baby girl,
