Some of you may remember my storage cabinets I scored. Well, I bolted them together and put them on a rolling base. If you remember, one of the cabinets was heavily damaged until I straightened it out.

Several weeks ago I spotted a damaged toolbox in Hangar 2 where I was installing new air lines for the Air Force. I asked who owned it and the building custodian told me it was Lockheed's. A guy from Lockheed said it had fallen off a truck and they were going to trash it. Of course I did them a favor and asked if I could have it. They gave it to me and even loaded it in my truck. According to the load ticket, it weighs 700 lbs. It is very heavy duty. When I had that tie-down strapped to it, I had visions of that damn strap coming loose and the metal end flying toward me. It took 3-4 pulls before it straightened out. Then I had to pull it another direction.

One of the perks of being a govt contractor, they are very loose w/ there equipment because it comes so easy to them. Nice score.

Cant get any better than a Lista. The heavier i load the drawers the better they work. The drawers just glide to a close. One of the aluminum covers for the handle is scratched fairly bad. I would like to replace it if the part are still manufactured. The aluminum piece is 37 5/8" long. I also need to replace some of the plastic plugs on either end of the drawers. When it was dropped iT sustained minor cosmetic damage.
