I actually like the cart a lot. The drawers are great and it holds up just as well as the more expensive ones. Drywall and lumber don't have much in common. But we do a lot of work for 2 different companies. One designs and sells machines for drywall, and the other for lumber. We also do...

Thanks! Most of the tools we use are no bigger than a mechanics tool set. I usually have my 1 1/8 wrench with me and a big adjustable for anything bigger. All my stuff fits in a mechanics tool cart.

That would be awesome! I'll keep that idea in mind. It would be really cool to build one out of a 1950s 1 ton. I restore cars in my free time so we'll see what happens.

My tools would fit inside packout boxes, and I would only have them in the truck when needed. Forklift access is rare as well. The trailer idea is cool and might work out well for me.

Thanks everyone. The car trailer idea seems neat. I'm leaning towards plastic storage boxes though. Try to keep everything light and easy.

We've got 7 employees. We never leave the shop so none of us have mobile set ups. In trying to get into that work as well. Hence the questions. I just wanted to know what works for other people.

I'm not in the union, and side work is OK. My free time is my free time. Customers are completely different as well. I work in a fabrication/millwright shop where we build machines for the logging and drywall industry. I'm the shop foreman there.

There's a tool sale near me where all milwaukee and Dewalt stuff is 30% off so I'll take a look at both. I do have my eye on the packout socket sets.

Thanks guys. I like those DeWalt boxes. If I can keep some tools organized, I'm happy. I'm thinking about a metal tool box and a job box/plastic box for bigger stuff like supplies and power tools.

Thanks for the welcome guys. So my option are now a job box, tool chest top, or Milwaukee packout. Tough to narrow down :)

Hello back! I'm 22 and just starting out. Taking my journeyman test soon :)

That's a good point. I'm not getting into any bigger jobs quite yet. It's mostly small repairs. Not enough to justify another truck😂

Thanks! I haven't thought about the big jobsite boxes. Most of my work is farm repair. Tractor attachment and conveyor and bunching equipment.

Hey everyone. I recently started my own mobile millwright company, while still working my full time millwright job. I'm also a CWB welder. I'm wondering what the most efficient tool storage would be for the back of my truck. I've been debating between a steel tool box top vs a milwaukee...
