NEW SNAP-ON EPIQ TOOLBOX ASSEMBLY 

When I first got into working on cars I couldn't tell a Snap-On tool from a junk tool, they were all the same in my mind. After I started to familiarize myself with using tools it quickly became apparent that the Snap-On branded tools just felt more solid, I didn't have to ask I knew they were a better brand, not to mention everyone's box had a Snap-On logo on it. The first time I saw the Snap-On truck pull into the parking lot I got so excited, the one guy told me how I didn't need the all the money right away, I could set up an account and how I can have tools right then and there and make payments, I was all in. I walked onto the truck and I was just pointing at tools I wanted and he was piling them up with a huge smile, I hadn't asked how much anything cost at this point, I was too excited seeing it all. I had 1/2" airgun, 4 socket sets, 2 ratchets, 2 sets of wrenches, 2 extension sets, 2 screw driver sets and a couple hammers. Based on prices I saw while in Home Depot and Lowes, I was upping those prices a little for the quality, I'm thinking maybe $1000 total, possibly $1500 or so. I was wrong, I was so sooO wrong, it was multiple thousands, I don't remember the exact number. I had to tell him to put most of it back, that walk of shame off the truck with a lousy ratchet and socket set was upsetting but my love affair ended rather quickly, to this day that is the only 2 things that I ever purchased brand new from Snap-On. They are the Apple of the tool industry.

The box looks awesome but I’d be pissed if I dropped $20-30k and my SO dealer didn’t show up to assemble the toolbox.

I've been debating whether I should by an off brand tool box like extreme or a snapon and in my research I came across this video. Seeing the comments I just see salty back yard mechanics who only came here to hate on your purchase because they are jealous. I don't care what the name is, but you cannot deny that the epiq is the greatest tool box in the world.

Well, it ain’t a Husky toolbox like mine. But it’ll have to do...lol. Congrats and looks awesome!

My last box I bought from snap on was a chest one and it was the harley maroon with the upper cabinet. Price was about twelve thousand if I remember right and I just might be wrong as that was in two thousand three or four. I loved that box and it had just about all the room I needed. If I were to do it over I would get the side boxes as well as it just never had deep enough boxes for all the stuff I had. The testers and stuff for checking vacuum leaks and rad fill and the tester Modus I think was the name, took the place of the brick. Been a long time as I got hurt/ crippled in two thousand five an eventually quit all together so what did that one run with all the bells?

The new box is awesome, I love the blue chrome great choice on the color scheme. I know the 19 week wait was brutal but worth it in the end. Congrats on reaching that milestone, deffinetly something to be very proud of. Keep the awesome videos coming and enjoy that tool temple

This is why I own Snap-On stock and buy my tools on eBay, delivery by the brown tool truck with UPS on the side!

Hello Rustbelt Machanic, I just got through watching your video of you assembling your new Snap-on 84" EPIQ toolbox. WOW!! That's a very BIG, BEAUTIFUL toolbox!! I know that your going to love it. I can say that because I have had my 84" EPIQ toolbox sense 2013 & I love mine! I did a toolbox inventory here on RU-vid about 1 year ago. I'll be looking forward to seeing a full toolbox inventory video of your new toolbox. I have seen your old toolbox inventory. Once again, that's a very sexy toolbox that you have!! Gregg (Critter) Muse

Thanks I have two epiq lockers on the way for my 68

I am surprised your dealer didn't come by and assemble it.

Sweet box. I have the 68" epiq and hutch. wish I had room for more but where I work I can only go up (in height....not management).

That the king of toolboxes it's a beast. Love the color even more since it's put together. Just awesome

Hello Rustbelt Mechanic, Very nice toolbox. Very informative. Wish I would have been able to watch a video like this before I assembled my EPIQ toolbox. Thanks for sharing your video with us. Gregg (Critter) Muse

Nice box I like it.I have a big box from Snap on but I brought back in 1990s I am lucky it is played off and I hope you got something for trade in the old box

I loved your previous toolbox but oh man... this new one is the mother of all tooboxes. Congrats, dude. Hard work always pays off.

I would need a toolbox...to even put together this toolbox! It is quite awesome though👍🏽🇺🇸💯🦾

Thats an awesome box i hope u enjoy it. Thats ludicrous to spend that amount of money on a tool box but hey if u can more power to ya . Even if i could i wouldn't. Thats just me being me . I would buy an 84" tool vault with a hutch for probably 1/3 of price . Same size but no bells an whistle. Great video

Awesome box man, I just could not see myself paying that much for a toolbox. I own my Snap On box and all the tools in it. It is such a joy not have to making a payment every week but none the less that toolbox is sexy AF

Every one of my dealers over the years have always at least offered to assemble a new box if it was more than a single small roller box. That set up is nice, but I prefer the stainless top for writing on when needed and easy clean up of all the grease / oil / paint /sealant, but then my equipment work is probably dirtier than this shop. The locker support being so much better than the KRL line was one of the things that pushed me to Epiq. My old 1022 / 1201 with the hanging locker sagging off two little tabs really annoyed me.... I just unbolted the whole cross-support to remove extra locker wheels and pulled them off in one piece.

Your new box even makes me jealous.. nice choice I should have did the echo locks on mine, just seemed gimmicky. Now I wish I got it. Wonder if I can add it on mine now🤔

i loved that they gave you the light for free .how much did you spend to get a free light ?

You must make a shit ton of money lol. Air pods, Apple Watch, nice truck, lifted with rims and now an Epiq!!!!!! I plan on getting the same box but with one locker. Beautiful box

Congratulations sir. That box is badass!

Getting myself a 84 inch epic next week candy apple red an black trim

The amount of jelly I feel is off the charts bro... congratulations brother on all your hard work and accomplishments it’s a true vision of hard work and determination will equal success... I wish you continued happiness in RU-vid and mechanical adventures and in life itself

Beautiful box, how are you going to move it if you have to find another job?

Awesome setup👍 I know the feeling... then comes all the work setting it all up and puttin tools in it😅

That is one sweet ass box!! Who cares on the cost as long as you are happy wit it. You probably did a better job putting it together then the dealer. Not sure if I could of handled the 19 weeks to get it. That would be very hard for me. You will have to make another video once you get it filled and organized.

I've been on the fence about upgrading out of my little husky for a good few years now, this put me over the edge. Your box is awesome man!

I guess most people put them up against a wall, but for someone who doesn’t, they could engineer some better cable management

You should have used harbor freight tools to assemble the whole thing

As a dealership guy do you really need that much storage for tools? For me one of the perks about working at a dealership is not having to buy that many tools.

Wether or not us viewers would pay that much or could afford this badass box, why is everyone complaining? He has two jobs and is very good at them, let him do what he wants. He’s got a check from the shop and a check from RU-vid, he wouldn’t buy It if he couldn’t afford it. Anyway you’ve got a badass box man!

Do you have video of putting the work center on the box? Do you have a few guys lift it and put it on the box? How did you get it from on a pallet to the top of the box. Thanks for everything

Thank you but I have to check on my top if I have the holes because I do have full stainless steel top

Did that top box come with a mattress and a pillow?

That thing is a Beast! I would love to see it side by side with your old box when you swap them!

Having a box that big would make a tech think twice about getting pissed and quitting a job! I would think a lot of (most) shops wouldn’t have the wall space for boxes this huge!

So freakin badass bro I absolutely love that color combo!!!! 😍😍😍😍 I cant wait for a toolbox tour video of this monster!!! Btw I made sure to tell everyone that I work with to check your channel out. Again thank you for awesome videos keep up the great work! I look forward to the stickers 😁

Great video. Had difficulty lining up the locker. Got it on but I think one of the welded nuts on the epiq broke off. Had to remove the drawer to hold it from the inside to get that bolted. Ordered the other locker. Any recommendations on getting it lined up.

That box set up is insane! Puts mine to shame

I LOVE LOVE LOVE that color combination. How can I get some of those blackout Snap On logos?? I need 2 of them. On a side note, I am beyond shocked that your Snap On dealer did not assemble that box for you.

*Droooool* Wow buddy, you must be one happy boy. Thanks for sharing bud!

Nice video, can’t wait to see a toolbox tour!

What TV is that and how did you mount it? I am waiting for my hutch to arrive and I want to add my TV/Monitor to it as well. Thanks and thats a great looking set up. Be proud of your accomplishment!

Definitely an awesome box, hard work pays off.....nice matching cart. ... wondering if they make a taller hood for the middle? Looks a little low for you to reach in.

looks great, when I was an fng I remember an old wise tech tell me, it's not the toolbox that makes the technician...this tech must make some serious money....remember it only takes one wrong step or one wrong lift and the wrenching days are over, but the payment is still there....I have witnessed it time and time again...ya cause Im old now...ha

I just dropped that much on a used minivan... You enjoy that tool box!

Is there pre drilled holes in that bedliner top for the hutch or did you have to drill or screw through it?

Everyone complaining about having to assemble it, but I would feel that would make it more satisfying to me when finished.

Cant wait for the tool box tour comming soon

Hey I have a 68inch hutch having a issue with the spot welds on the inside of the hutch look to be starting to rust how visible are the spot welds on inside of the hutch? Had it for about a year? Snap on said there now sure what there going to do?

i have a flat black master series box and i was wondering if you have found a way to get the oily fingerprints off the box with out damaging the paint also it looks grate all put together.

Looks great man. Love the colors just hate that the matte colors show finger prints so easy I want to do matte black with all goss black trim so bad but my gloss black box is bad enough keeping clean 😂 can’t wait to see updates on the other stuff

That’s a sweet epiq bro. Love that color.

SO WHAT IS THE TOTAL COST OF YOUR SETUP? WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU LOSE POWER?

I've watched this video a dozen + times, what a great set up, every tech's dream. Do you still own it and are you still friends with captain Ron????

I just bought the same box without the lockers or riser. Troy Ohio

Great box. For your roll cart should have got the Epiq sidekiq

30 K Box ? Holy shit😮😮😮 Looks good though! congratulations on your new purchase

Out standing. That is the baddest tool box on the planet. Freaking computer and all the power strips. Awesome dude. I know my pocket book ant that big but I am so envious. How long u think it will take to move the tools over.

Fair play. What a box. Vincent from the 🇬🇧

Love your tool box bro looks amazing love it.👌👌

Hey boss man I like ur tool box 👍 quick question how did u set up ur computer or install ur computer to ur hutch

That is one INCREDIBLE setup man! Sweet!

It's his money people, no reason to degrade him, stop being jealous, stop being condescending, it will not accomplish anything in life. I can't afford one, well I can but I just don't want one, but I'm not going to insult him for doing what he wants with his money. If he can't afford it then he will be the only one that will suffer not you.

Comes with rihno top an led drawer light

What did you mount the tv/monitor with?

Great video, I'd love to have a similar box, that Epiq range is just fantastic. Will you give us another toolbox tour to show the layout once you've moved all your tools into the new box? Keep making great videos!

That is a solid good looking work station.

love this. when you get all your tools in it do a tur and tell us how you orginise it.

Congratulations Man! Love the color combo.

That roll cart is sick

Gorgeous color! Looks great all put together!

It came out very nice I also have the same tv and set up less one side cabinet

Nice , I wish I would have done a video of my new box and install great video and editing skills keep up the work!!

Nice setup buddy i have the same but in extrem green and trim black. Its awesome. Congrats

I'm not a mechanic. But why do mechanics have to buy Snap-on if I hear it super expensive? Is Craftsman or Husky tools or their boxes not good?

So much freaking awesomeness!

That's a sexy tool storage unit

what the size of the tv mount on your hutch?

Well deserved! Looks awesome

Hello and did you had to make holes on the top of the box for the hutch because I have stainless steel on mine

Nice box. Now update your toolbox tour lol. Really looking forward to see how you have it setup.

It’s a nice box, congrats bro...but I think JRC54 still has the best toolbox in the world. It only takes up one side of the wall in his shop lol

How many plugs does that box take without your computer

It is glorious. I’m so jealous.

It looks great. Congrats. I hope you get many good years of use from it. Cheers.

What's the part number on the magnetic switching light?

Sooo now that tool box will stay permanently placed at that bay? Is that your bay, is that how it works with car mechanics? I'm for real asking because as a truck mechanic in Australia, the limiting factor of buying awesome big boxes is that you have to push it from truck to truck, maybe because we don't work with hoist and most jobs are dead in a workshop for weeks at a time🤔

hard work pays off man keep it up

Dude that is awesome, really good colour choice.

What no fridge or microwave. Maybe your dealer will supply them. Great choice on it though.

Very nice color combo. How does the hutch attach to the power top?

What's the name of the song that was played in this while assembling

Awesome box dude.

Nice! What computer do you use? I like the size of the desktop unit if that’s what’s on top of the hutch

Awesome box brotha

Your box looks awesome

Now I have toolbox envy haha
