Finally, I got a real tool cabinet.

[t100]

Vidmar it is. with the top and bottom stacked up, it measures 8 foot tall. It's good day today.

 

[OEXL16B]

I spotted the Colson casters immediately.

 

[930dreamer]

Very nice Vid find.

 

[jabberwoki]

SWEET box mate great score. You`ll have to post pics when it`s loaded

 

[gatewaysysop]

Wow, what a nice setup, especially liking the cabinets.

 

[MN4x4]

Two words - I'm jealous!

 

[4x4gearhead]

Holy poop theres a show piece. Ive always wanted a big vidmar chest for parts storage, maybe someday my dream will come true.

 

[t100]

the cabinet is halfway full now, my garage is too damn hot right now to keep working on it.

these are the first things were sent in, pair of 6-ton jack stands, pair of 3-ton jack stands, a Wilton vise, a Reed vise, 20lbs of lug nuts.

 

[mecpman]

wow thats a nice setup. Ive always wanted a garage filled with a vidmar setup.

 

[OEXL16B]

Holy smokes. . . 2 big vices in one drawer? You could never do that with a standard toolbox; the drawer would be sagging and wouldn't close.

 

[t100]

yep, I can still open and close it with 2 fingers, maybe 3.

just give you an idea of the size of the Wilton:

Very nice!

What are the drawer sizes (WxLxD)?

 

[t100]

the big drawer is 18"x 25" x10".

I got some help from my neighbor to lift the top cab and bolted them together. it is tall. I'm 6' and the top drawer is at my eye level, thank God I have 9 and half feet ceilings in my garage. I would convert the top to a rolling work bench IF I had the floor space.

also, the key is kinda hard to copy, too. I'd bet it's expensive.

 

[Regnar]

$7.77 is not to bad if you ask me. You can also order a master key that I want to say is 75.00 but you have a ton of hoops to jump through.

Nice boxes! Like the color too.

 

[caseyrod]

how tall are you?

 

[t100]

I'm 6'.

 

[t100]

it took me a while to transfer/fill the Vidmar. also I got new drawer pulls from Stanley to replace couple croaked ones, only $5 a piece, can't beat that. here are some pictures.

finally

 

[FJ 432]

Sweet Jesus. The great wall of storage. It ust be nice to go to one place in the garage to find everything. Are you/have you labeled the drawers?

 

[Trey T]

Where did you find it? I need a setup like that.

 

[RCRGarage]

A drawer for vises and a drawer for extension cords. Okie dokie!

 

[t100]

you missed the jack stands?

 

[t100]

Where did you find it? I need a setup like that.

paid $300 for the whole thing off CL.

 

[03protege]

how tall are you?

Exactly what I was thinking. lol

 

[Zrexxer]

Why would you put vises in a drawer?

 

[Journaler]

paid $300 for the whole thing off CL.

OMG, that is really nice!!!!!

 

[t100]

Why would you put vises in a drawer?

I'm down sizing. I used to have 7 vises in my 2-car garage, now I have 4. 2 are mounted and the other 2 have no where to go but in the drawer.

 

[t100]

Exactly what I was thinking. lol

the whole deal with the top and bottom cabinets is 8' tall. from the top of the bottom cabinet to the floor is 67".

I'm 6', the top of the first drawer is at my chin, I can barely see what's inside the top drawer.

 

[RCRGarage]

Why would you put vises in a drawer?

When you got extra vises and extra drawers that are big enough to fit them in, you know you've arrived. Or a tool collector. Not that theres anything wrong with that.

 

[davesnothere]

You are in luck. I have room for them at my house.
And then you will have a lot more room in your cabinet.

 

[t100]

kinda like this few months ago:

 

[zjrog]

Would love a good set of Vidmar cabinets. It would be worth tearing into my overbuilt shelves to make the fit too.

 

[nine4gmc]

Why would you put vises in a drawer?

Because you can

 

[Arne73]

Love Vidmars for their heavy duty capabilities, haven't been lucky enough to score any for the garage yet.
When it comes to hardware storage, especially smaller stuff like washers, the plastic trays work much better than the drawer dividers.
Great score!

 

[Jack Olsen]

paid $300 for the whole thing off CL.

 

[timbitca]

Wow! That's an awesome cabinet and an even better price! Congrats on the score!

 

[admranger]

Vises, jack stands, and shocks (Bilstein?) in the drawers. Nice.

For $300, I'm surprised you haven't received a "you ****" yet, b/c you do!

 

[KULIWOBBY]

How many drawers can you open at once and still have it not tip over?
