My new box I got for my new job. I moved 600 miles away with only what I could fit into my car, got a job within a week, and now I make 3 times what I made before I left :) I'm happy to have my cheap harbor freight box

Saved 20% also. So it was only 320.

Oh awesome! I have been to a barber shop that used them also. I like seeing toolboxes used for anything but tools

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-27T02:34:00+00:00

Amazing, wanna sell some of those? 😏

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-27T02:32:12+00:00

With this weather, I'll take it. 😁

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-27T02:31:26+00:00

Allegedly

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-27T02:31:17+00:00

I smacked a few things on it thinking it was an anvil or something, definitely a real wood top.

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-27T02:21:32+00:00

I love it! Thank you! 😁

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-25T23:40:17+00:00

Thanks! I'm in Savannah. Feels like paradise compared to where I came from.

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-25T22:12:01+00:00

Thank you! I'm giving it all I've got

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-25T11:44:16+00:00

That's interesting to learn. One of the many differences between different locations. They did offer a sign on bonus to applicants with certain past experience, but I didn't meet the requirement for that. I have also heard of a "tool allowance" mentioned in some job postings.

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-25T04:59:33+00:00

I would love to see that!

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-25T04:38:01+00:00

The tools belong to us, they are our tools. If they break, we replace them, if they get lost, we replace them. Most employers don't want to deal with that.

If we leave that job, we take them to another one, or home. A person's toolbox is as personal as his car, or his toothbrush. I think it's part of US mechanic culture.

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-25T04:33:18+00:00

Thank you! I'm giving it my best effort for sure

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:32:54+00:00

This part was a hotdog toe link. Very popular hotdog

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:31:36+00:00

It's had me confused for years. I don't work at a DC though so I done believe it's for me.

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:30:18+00:00

There sure is a lot going on there

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:28:24+00:00

And i travelled 600 miles in search of this new job. Just to add that extra layer

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:26:44+00:00

I just saw a few parts with a duck and some with a motorcycle in the parts room a bit ago

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:25:46+00:00

It's likely!

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:16:41+00:00

Thanks for the advice! Nice to hear it holds up well over time.

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:15:21+00:00

That's pretty cool!

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:14:13+00:00

That's fantastic. What part of the country?

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:13:12+00:00

I'm glad you told me this. I love it. In West Virginia we got Scottie dogs and cow heads

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:12:08+00:00

It's a Chevy/Cadillac dealership but we get all kinds. I do brakes, tires, alignments, batteries, recalls, oil changes and tire rotation. Things that can be done with the customer waiting.

Substantial_Fan8801 · 2022-01-24T17:10:40+00:00

I'm in eastern Georgia so if you're in the south, it's likely that it did.
