Hello all,
I'm in the process of moving from a large garage and workshop down to a small one car garage approx. 3.2m x 6.9m (or 10.5' x 22.6'). I don't know how this happened but it's too late to turn back now.
One thing I'm looking at doing to make it more palatable is to rid myself of a lot of the various bits and pieces I've accumulated over the years in the way of tool boxes and cabinets and to move as much as possible into higher quality cabinets. I have something like Steevo's workbench in mind for the rear 3.2m wall if I can muster the skills to fabricate what I want.
I've sourced two Lista cabinets here in Aus at scratch and dent rates and although they're not what I'd order if I ordered new the savings is probably not to be sneezed at. I think I've got a pretty good deal on offer despite the minor damage, but what has just come to light is the fact that the drawers are all 75kg as opposed to 200kg. Is this likely to be an issue for the average Joe who doesn't intend loading the drawers up with heavy parts? I'm only ever likely to fill these with fixings and hardware and as many of my tools as will fit. Nothing bigger than hand-held power tools, I suspect. Is durability of the lesser-rated cabinets and drawers something worth worrying about?
Cheers in advance.
Regards,
James
