    HF 40" roll around tool cabinet

    Kneepads, also at Harbor Freight, $4.99. Besides, the finish is on the sides, the top has a rubber mat with creases and a US General logo.. I still have it etched into my shin. And like I said, carb cleaner makes cleanup a BREEZE. -c'mon guys.. work with me....

    HF 40" roll around tool cabinet

    Sounds sketchy.. Maybe they were using it as a forklift table. Mine's filled tools -not to the brim, but pretty well stocked, with every drawer being filled. On top I have this OLD HEAVY, (as in OMG, is this SOB filled with lead pigs) top box. To the side of that I have about 18 unches of...

    HF 40" roll around tool cabinet

    I have it, and it's a perfectly fine BOX. I do find that the drawers tend to bind when loaded and you don't close them prefectly straight. Also, it doesn't have the holding capacity that a higher priced box would. It's in no means competition to a KRL or similar, but for holding a bunch of tools...

    What kind tool that you use a lot at work or home?

    I was thinking about this the other day.. The tool I use the most is a set of these. I really, really love these wrenches. Metric ratcheting flex head wrenches, by Husky. 13mm and 15mm get the most of it. I have the same set in non flex head, and I never touch them. oh, I also use my dremmel...

    Tools bought in March

    For March, I got the biggest rolling toolbox I could find. With bunks down below and up top, this tool will be sleeping well.

    Better box?

    Personally, I felt that the Harbor Freight 41" felt better.. It 400$, with 15% coupons readily available, it came to $360.. With other glowing reviews from this board I decided to take the plunge. I couldn't be happier unless I had to pay for a SNAPPY (which I didn't) Go to the store, try both...

    Let's see your toolbox.

    Here's my set.. I used to just use whatever I could find to store tools, (carry boxes) and the old vintage Red box on top. Last week I was living large I got the Harbor Freight 41" roller cab base. It was on sale at $399, then I was able to use a 15% off coupon bringing it to $340. Compared to...

    How does it look right now?

    Here's mine right now.. It's as clean as I can get at the moment with kids and trying to keep engine pieces in a line for cleaning and final assembly. (I know, I just gave a few of you a heart attack. . "THAT ISN'T CLEAN!") Anyway, it's what I have at the moment. I'm thinking of building a loft...

    Too much clutter

    You're doing pretty good in my book.. I didn't see any small bicycles, Tonka dump trucks or random boxes around. I would take a pic of my space for comparison, but I'm afraid I'd be ridiculed off the board. (not so good for a first post) I'm working as best I can on getting my workspace into a...
