Beach made the Gray Tools "pro" tool boxes. Perhaps some of the gray tools parts might fit?

I have been to that one and it's a great store. Nice and big and easy to get around with a cart. I live on the "west side" so I was at the Richmond Road location which is small and cramped.

It was chaos at the local Calgary store on Saturday. However, my wife, 4 year old daughter and I braved the crowds as I needed some basic, reasonably priced tools for some work on my summer hobby car (1999 M3). I snagged a couple of the Mastercraft Maximum torque wrenches that were on sale for...

I guess I never thought about that option, but you are right, it would give me access to the top tray as well. I'll have a look at everything this weekend and see what I can come up with. Speaking of chests toppling over, is it ok just to have the top chest sitting on the cabinet or it is best...

Thanks for all of the replies. I'm not overly concerning about the top chest tipping over as the drawers are friction slides, not ball bearing, and it requires a bit of effort to pull them open. So I don't think there is much chance of one drawer opening on it's own, and that shifts weight...

I tried that and it didn't work. I think I'm going to have to try and remove the rod as Cobbler suggested. If anyone has ever done this before, I would appreciate some guidance as I'll probably end up wrecking something if I try myself. Thanks, James

I recently purchased a Gray Tools Pro Series tool chest (along with a cabinet). When the top lid of the tool chest is closed, the drawers won't open. It's supposed to be this way according to the manual. My problem is, I have wall mounted storage cabinets that sit a few inches above the lid on...

I've got the rocking issue sorted out. Now, my only problem is, the top chest drawers automatically lock when the top lid is closed. Unfortunately, I have shelves above the tool box, so I can't keep the lid open all the time. I'll have to see if there is a way to remove the entire locking...

I got it sorted out. I put a small square of drawer liner under the front and back corner and it's all good. I'm quite happy with my purchase. My total price was $650 CAD after taxes for the cabinet and top chest. Made in Canada. Only negative thing is that is uses friction slides which may not...

Last week I bought a Gray Tools Pro series rolling cabinet. Today, I was at the tool shop and they had a brand new, demo matching Gray Tools chest for $266 CAD :) I snagged it, brought it home and placed it on top of the cabinet. Either the chest is slightly warped or the top of the cabinet...

Thanks again for all of the replies and suggestions. I explored the Kijiji route the past few weeks but most of the stuff on there was pretty beat up. Being a complete dummy about this type of stuff, I was worried that I would buy something that had problems or issues. If I was more experienced...

Thanks for the reply! To complicate things further, I found this Made in Canada Gray Tools rolling cabinet (doesn't have the top tool chest) locally for $429...

Hello everyone, Great website here. I've spent a few hours doing research and trying to learn as much as possible. I'm a homeowner that has outgrown my simple, plastic tool box. Instead of buying a 2nd toolbox, I have decided to buy a small, 27" tool chest. I'm simply looking to organize my...
