Metal drawers at Fastenal

Got mine. Great value IMHO. Big thanks to the OP!!!

I just picked up 2 of the 0541749 units today.

Went pretty smooth for me. Called my local Fastenal on Tuesday and gave them the part number. Confirmed they didn't have any in stock but that they were on sale. Said he could order them in from Indy and would have them by the next day. Sure enough on Wednesday they called to tell me they were in. Picked them up today and was not charged any shipping fees.

Quality wise I would agree with others, for the sale price this is a fair deal but at the normal price I would be returning these ASAP.

0541750 got 3 units of those! Nice storage for the price! I would never ever pay the full listed price for them but hey for $30 bucks? You cant beat it now I'm working on adding 3 more and making a cart to hold them! Big thanks to the OP!

Sorry to bring back an old post....

What do you guys do about keeping the drawers moving nicely.....car wax, candle wax a touch of oil (I'm guessing no oils/greases so as to not collect dust and dirt)?

I want to address this before I load it up.

I haven't come to that yet, can't figure out what to put in mine yet. Also, it looks like the sale is still on, they're just running short on part #'s.

I wish the sale was that good in Canada , You can add on over a 100 bucks on each one and thats on sale . Guess I dont need them that bad .

Mine are mainly for storage of a bunch of hardware and little bits I hardly use. so idont open and close them often. I tihnk its better just to keep them clean of dirt.
If I put anything it can attract dirt and create more friction and scratching. if the paint wears to the metal ill probably spray some wd40 to keep it from rusting to much. I also lined the inside of some drawers with duct tape(to cover the open slots) so whatever rusty bolts & nails dont drop out rusty grit and dirt on the shelves. It also helps smaller things from poking out.

take a bar of hand soap and rub it on the bottom of the drawers, works well on old units...Rich

I'm pretty sure they are. There aren't as many different ones available though.

I checked prices on these yesterday. They still show them on sale, but the prices are much higher than they were last month. I'd say this deal is over.

I started filling mine up and putting labels on them.

If your Doctor is anything like mine you'll be able to go pick it up before you see him.
