Will do may have to get a couple can use it on 2 or 3 of my boxes to free up space.
They work fantastic. I ran a black one on my service cart (which I sold), and then bought a red one for my shop box.

Finally upgraded from the basic red Craftsman box. Girlfriend picked me up a 52" 9 Drawer with wood top, and a 27" side box. Spent a few hours organizing and putting tools in the big box. Still need to get liner for the side box so nothing is in it yet, but have a bunch of tools that won't get used as much that will go in it.

Here's the top drawer, and left side drawers.

Starting from top moving to bottom..

1. Sockets and Extensions
2. Metric Wrenches
3. Standard Wrenches
4. T Handles and Hex Keys
5. Air tools, Torque wrenches, and extra impact sockets

I tried posting pictures but when I previewed the post they were much too large.

So with that, I have recently made a career changeand I am only just starting out. I actually start my first job this week at a large corporate chain doing the lowly employee work (which I'm not upset with). I have some more tools floating around my truck that I need to add to the box, but 8t gives you a gist of what it is lol. Haven't seen many 26" boxes throughout the thread (and for good reason )

I picked up this Lista toolbox for free last week. It has been in the guys basement and been in a few floods. Now I just have to figure out how to get rid of all the rust on this monster.275eb5dfee664fc15de4d7e14134728c.jpg3f2491f550d90b6c3139849ab5b19bd9.jpgcaa334e272b931ff3dc5b912e3f2d03c.jpg175492cfcbf0e9d1817fc891df8a4671.jpg

Either use a rust converter or spray down with white vinegar everyday for about a week than rinse with water. Vinegar eats away at the rust and leaves you with clean metal.

That's a great idea, but I think I would trust magnets better than those suction cups. I think you're apt to find those cans and rack on the floor one day.

Home Depot has a nice selection of magnets.

Look alot closer.... like right behind the brake cleaner can.. I cut and bent the wire of the rack to reach over to where the tool box handle usually gets bolted on to. Bent the wire to a hook of sorts and used a bolt and washer to attach it to the box... the suction cups just keep the bottom section of rack from pulling away from the box.. they ain't hosting any weight up..

I don't think the suction cups are anything more than a padded cushion lower down. I believe the top rail is screwed in place...

Okay. I don't want to drill holes in my top box (which is Snap On), so I might try your idea using magnets.
