Toolbox feet

[Rakuny]

Hi garage journal!

I am wondering if it's possible to buy feet like the ones pictured. I want to take the casters off a box and put feet on it.

I'm not sure on the ones pictured, but I've seen several that people built a frame and has feet built into it. The box sat on the frame.

I've seen boxes (usually Kennedys) converted to stationary using heavy-duty adjustable feet. Pretty sure those were modified "In-House".

I've used hockey pucks. Drill, counterbore, then bolt 'em in the corners.

What toolbox do toy have?
If you have a snap on, look at their industrial workstation/stationary cabinets.
They use their regular toolboxes with no caster but a solid toe kick base that I'm willing to be bolt on in the place of the casters. You may be able to buy that part as a replacement piece.
If you can fabricate, then making feet or a base should be very easy


I like the hockey puck idea but I would be tempted to stack 2 pucks drilled in the middle and just countersink the bottom one. Then bolt them on

Definitely, stack as many as required to get the height and appearance you want.

I've also used square chunks of high density polyethylene as feet. Think plastic cutting board material. This allows the box to sit as low as possible without sitting directly on the floor. It can be cut with woodworking tools. The polyethylene allows the box to slide on a hard floor to adjust it's location, but stays put in normal use.

We use old cutting boards under some of the equipment at work. Like previously said they are easy to cut.

I really like the hockey puck idea. Cheap, quick and easy. Thanks.
