Awesome! How does it compare to the corded? I couldn't live without a Dremel; I didn't even know they made a cordless...

Late reply, but cordless dremel works great so far for small stuff. So far I've really only used it for tight areas prepping for welds. It seems just as powerful to me.

I bought two of the Costco combo sets with the 7.62mm and a .50 cal ammo cans. Quality can be subjective but I think they're great (brand new, good seals, etc.), especially for the price. A couple of the 40mm cans from Quadratec are on the way to complete the set of calibers. :yup:

I'll figure out what to put in them later.

I just purchased 2 of them today at my local Costco they were only $15. They seem to be really good quality.

Any cool new tools, Tony?
Nothing new at the moment. Thinking about getting a Milwaukee 1/2 impact. 😎

I have to agree. We bought one for our son and it works great and the battery life is very good.

All of mine goes in either the ARB Drawer, the orange ARB recovery bag or in the glove box shock tuning kit.

Glove box tools (winch controller goes in center console)

View attachment 221349

Recovery bag gear.

View attachment 221350

ARB main drawer.

View attachment 221351

2x Mastercraft bags with small spare parts.

View attachment 221352

Some of the hand tools.

View attachment 221353

Milwaukee 18v tools.

View attachment 221354

ARB Drawer has two side compartments meant to open up from rear but it doesn't work well in practice. Instead I drop the back seats to access from the front. Mastercraft canvas bags fit vertically in the space.

View attachment 221355

In each side tunnel fits a gallon of coolant and a Mastercraft bag with 6 quarts standing vertically nicely.

And all together.

Holy shit. This is what to strive for right here. Well done!

Great thread. I typically carry the basic tools I used when I installed the lift, along with pipe wrenches and Crescent wrenches, wire, giant zip ties, pieces of rubber, test light, scan tool, 18v angle grinder, my Fuel 3/4" impact, various size ratchet straps, recovery gear, basic fluids and an oil diaper. Mostly what I need to get back to camp. If I'm in a location where I can buy tools, I carry less. If I am more remote, I bring more and adjust for duration of the trip.

Irish JK, I had a Tuffy drawer in my TJ, which worked great for carrying my gear until I flopped and couldn't open my tailgate. Sold it the next day. Now the most important items are are strapped down behind my seat for easy access.

I’ve got two hard cases of tools in the back cargo area, I’ve been told it’s too much several times. One big bag with miscellaneous tools, jumper cables, and a battery box, plus a couple packs of survival gear. Now the thing is, I don’t have a garage and much room to keep the excess gear, should I remove some and declutter the jeep, resulting in cluttering my apartment or keep the apartment neat and keep the jeep cluttered?
