    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    Correct, the lid won't close with the bars in there. But I rarely ever close it. I did snap a few pics of the box this evening. Here they are in order from the top tray down: Sorry the first pic is sideways, I'll fix it tomorrow on my computer at work.:pimpflash

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    Finally got a couple of pics of my cart before and after the addition of the 2nd box on the bottom. Before: After: You can see I cut the front off of the bottom box where the lock cylinder goes to use it at storage. When I put it back together I also used 5/16" stainless button head...

    Modifications to the HF 4 and 5 drawer service carts - what changes have you made?

    Just picked up a 2nd 4 drawer cart yesterday for 107 and am planning on stacking it under my existing 4 drawer cart. I'll post pics this weekend after I get it done. Those that have done this, what if anything would you have done different?

    Best tape measure for a mechanic?

    One other benefit of the Milwaukee 16' is that its marked on both sides so its easier to read. Here's a link to the tape on zoro http://www.zoro.com/i/G5370242/?utm_source=google_shopping&utm_medium=cpc&utm_campaign=Google_Shopping_Feed&gclid=CNn1lZvHg8QCFUMjgQodthcABA

    Best tape measure for a mechanic?

    I have a Milwaukee 16' magnetic tip, and a Stanley 12' clipped to the side of my toolbox. I mainly use them when I'm cutting, grinding, and fabricating. The magnetic tipped tape is great for working with steel solo when ya don't have anybody to hold the dumb end for ya.
