I got my first toolbox, a grey Craftsman like so many others mentioned here, for Christmas The next year my Mom sent me to Sears at Christmas time to get the same box for my Brother.
I still have mine and most all the original tools along with my Brothers that I inherited when he passed. Always was surprised that my folks got us both nice tool boxes and Dad always kept his meager tool collection in a wicker basket, which I also inherited.

My grandfather got it for me from a small aerospace shop in the next town over. My dad got a SK Wayne socket set, wrench set, and line wrench set, grand dad tossed in some screwdrivers , various pliers, a ball-peen hammer a BFH and some files Dad told me the day I got all that stuff "Money spent on tools is money well spent" These days that box is more of a catch-all for trinkets and assorted washer, nut and bolt storage than anything else but I will never get rid of it and smile everytime I look at it.

Got this from my uncle with an assortment of Monkey Ward tools I still have in another toolbox. Got the Milwaukee drill press behind the box in the first photo at the same time. Thanks Uncle Kenny.

Didn't treat you like you were a big problem. It was my birthday. I had just turned 3 or 4. Dad was drinking a bit too much back then, so Mom wasn't generally happy with him anyway.
So when he came home with a small red metal tool box full of tools for me, she started in on him, asking why he got me tools that I was just going to ruin the furniture with. They left the kitchen where we were to continue their argument. I think I remember hearing my dad assuring my mom that it would be okay. In the meantime, I took the keyhole saw out of the box, opened a kitchen drawer that was just above my head and started cutting the fascia of the drawer from the top down.
My poor dad was toast. Rickybop , Dec 7, Ron Funkhouser , WalkerMD , cfmvw and 5 others like this. Joined: Aug 27, Posts: 15, Profile Page.
