Default Show off your tool box/boxes

If you're like me I love my tools almost as much as my car. When winter comes and summer ride is put away, I usually start tool collecting. I'm no professional mechanic, but I drool over large tool boxes and tool collections, just wish I had more room. I had to add two more units to my tool box, because my base was getting too full. Anyway, here's my humble box and some of its contents.
I love my gear wrench collection so far, always my favourate drawer.

I am not a professional or have ever worked at a shop. I just like professional grade tools. I started this collection on Nov. 2010. I decided to hold off on getting a nice WS6 and spent all the funds on tools. Please enjoy my Snap-on tool ****. Don't min the air tools, I don't have an air compressor yet.

Compressor is next on my list, I almost pulled the trigger a few times when seeing them on sale. I just don't have the room for it, was thinking a 20gal would suit me fine.
I have an electric impact gun with digital torque settings, but the thing wieghts about 5x as much as an air impact and is twice the size.

Which is worse, showing a harmless pic of your tool box on a forum or showing a pic of your car (as in your avatar), the city you live in and a description of that car in your signature line? The car would be easier to steal than your tool box since the car gets out in the public but the tool box typically stays in the garage or shop!!!! JMO

While you're at it, take a picture of your wife's jewelry box and the contents. Show everyone all the high dollar electronics in your house. My cars cars are required to be out in public to use them. My tool box and other valuables don't.
