How did you Level your Tool Box/Chest?

[keithdigital]

My garage has a small slope to the front of the garage for drainage, nice except my Tool Box isn't level and the drawers won't stay shut! Has anyone leveled their tool box to keep the drawers shut before?

I just put the front on a 6x6 hunk, keeps **** from rolling underneith too

My garage floor is not flat either. I used my car jack, a broad piece of wood and some wood shims. You may also consider what was talked about in other threads. To prevent theft of your entire box, take off a wheel or two and replace with some wood blocks.

If your drawers won't stay shut, that's more than just a "small slope"

yes i have.


last shop i worked at, the floor in the rebuild room was sloped.

where i had my boxes parked at, a 3/4" flat washer under the LF wheel, 4x4 square of 1/4" plywood on the RF wheel.

1/2 flat washers under the wheels

Use stainless washers if you can find them. Prevents you from having a rust ring on your floor.

at my old house, beer caps and wood shims

Used Ford differental shim washers, just the right diamater and different thickness.

I built a platform, tapconned it to the floor, skinned the top with plywood, took the wheels off the box and made it stationary.

Sloped floors ****......If the box is going to stay in one location, remove the casters and replace them with adjustable threaded feet. These are available in various capacities.
