It's that time of year again. My birthday is next month and I have been thinking about getting a machinest tool chest. To be honest I don't thing that I really need one. And money is always an issue. I hate to spend money on something that would be cool to have but may not need. I know of a consignment shop that is selling off stuff from the owner's father's home shop. That's where I got my belt sander and a nice machinist's level. Stuck back in a corner gathering dust is an old metal machinist's tool chest. I briefly looked through it last time I was in and my recollection was that it was in decent shape. They are asking $75 for it. I don't know the brand. Going from memory it has 11 drawers, felt lined and one of the drawers is the perfect size for the machinery handbook and has the handbook. I am trying to figure out what I would store in a machinist's tool chest other than my micrometers and calipers.
What do you guys store in your machinist's tool chest?
