    New to me KRL1022 - Snap on or Custom Made Cover - Recommendations Needed

    Thanks for the responses. Will have to think about it more. It isn't really based on cost. Moreso, I want the best quality in that range. In terms of the sunlight, I keep this in my garage, so the sun doesn't hit it. However, with that much chrome on the front it will reflect a lot of...

    New to me KRL1022 - Snap on or Custom Made Cover - Recommendations Needed

    All, I recently purchased a very nice KRL1022, and I want a cover. The snap on cover is $234, but I've heard of people having custom covers made. One I've found is comsew.com. Would appreciate any recommendations you guys might have around the snap on cover vs. custom made covers as well as...

    Show me your HF 13 drawer US General

    Mine is stationary even though I left the wheels on, but I don't think even putting 2 of them together would be something that you would easily move around if they were side to side. Back to back may be a little easier to move around though. They also get pretty heavy when you have 2 boxes...

    Show me your HF 13 drawer US General

    I bolted 3 of them plus a side cabinet and the side drawer together as one unit. I have pice in my album. For the money, a great box. Was a lot better deal when you could use 20 off coupons. Mike

    Took me 6 Months to Organize My 59 Drawer HF Roll Cab Creation

    The top is an 8' craftsman butcher block workbench top. I cut plywood inserts to go on top of the roll cabs to sit flush with the lip on the sides and back. Those inserts support the weight of the top. I but a board across the back wall and screwed through that board into the top. It is very...

    Took me 6 Months to Organize My 59 Drawer HF Roll Cab Creation

    It is crappy. It is the cardboard holder that the Matco mud rivers came in. No plastic tray, but better than nothing. I have some half inch foam that I plan to make a holder with. Similar to what I did with the craftsman nutdrivers in a different pic in the album.

    Took me 6 Months to Organize My 59 Drawer HF Roll Cab Creation

    I can't remember for sure. I bought all of the boxes over a 2 year period. I think today's cost would be about $1,900, but I bought about 1/2 of the stuff when you could stack the 20% off coupons and one of the side cabs and the side closet were returned items and I paid $120 for each of them...

    Took me 6 Months to Organize My 59 Drawer HF Roll Cab Creation

    I've got a fair share of craftsman. I like the HF boxes, but I'm not a big fan of their hand tools. I have some, but mostly stuff I've bought because it was ridiculously cheap or one time use. In the other pics, you will find a fair bit of SO, Matco and MAC stuff. I probably have more than...

    Took me 6 Months to Organize My 59 Drawer HF Roll Cab Creation

    About 6 months ago, I put together a HF Roll Cab creation that I posted in another forum. It took me until now to actually get most of the drawers and tools organized as my real job gets in the way of what I really like to do. All of the cabinets are mounted together as one solid unit. Took...

    Craftsman AssureLink Door Opener-Adapt to Existing?

    I don't know about retrofitting, but I just put in the Craftsman Assurelink belt drive opener. Amazingly quiet and I love being able to check my door from computer/iphone. Only thing I don't like is the iphone app doesn't allow you to remain signed in. You have to log in each time (email and...

    Lowes Kobalt vs HF U.S General Air Compressors

    I've got the 80gal kobalt. Been very happy with it. Had it about 4 years. Would buy again.

    HF 13 drawer roll cab - new style?

    They have the new styles at stores in Kansas. The guys at two of the stores in my area were willing to cut a small hole in each box (2" x 2") and look in to see what style drawers they have. They had both in stock (old and new). I would just start buying and have them bring them out. Open...

    My HF 13 Drawer Creation - Poor Boy Lista/Mr. Big

    I think I'm into this for more than $1,300. I bought the first roll cab, top chest, locker and side cabinet over the course of 2 years back when you could use 20% off coupons. The locker and side cabinets were returned items, so I bought them for something like $110 each after some negotiation...

    My HF 13 Drawer Creation - Poor Boy Lista/Mr. Big

    Here is a picture of the bracket I referred to above that I used to join the 2nd and 3rd roll cabinets together.
