I have been on the search for a 56" roller since we decided we were buying this new home (start of Feb '14)
Found TSC Stores selling these Torin's at what I feel is a good price, bit the bullet last night and brought one home.
In the back of the truck
How I load/unload many of my heavy items (living out here friends aren't always close at hand, especially @ 10pm)
Underside shots, the bearings have zerks to keep things rolling smoothly.
The Princess Auto crane getting another work out, taking all the weight
No idea of total weight, but it took 4 people to lift the top off this one (display piece) and they used the fork lift to get it in the truck.
In all it's empty, unused, virgin glory
Double roller slides on all but the thinnest drawers, unloaded they are "stiff" to roll, having loaded a few up, they roll very smoothly.
This larger "drawer" isn't ideal for the home user looking for drawer space, but I'm sure it will come in handy, eventually. It also has a small drawer on top of it, so when opened you have access to the drawer, and the underside you see here. Hanger panel on either side, about 8" deep on this side, 4" on other.
Each drawer is a full 19 1/4"
Getting started loading it up... critic the layout, I don't have a lot of tools, yet. I expect things to move around as time and tools increase.
What I have been getting by with for about 10 years now, plus countless bags, plastic case/kits, bins, etc. MasterCraft 26" top.
It served me well, and will be used for smaller, less used pieces (allen keys, 1/4" drive sockets, drill bits, air fittings, etc)
Will add feedback here if anything pops up. So far, very happy with this purchase and the wife is glad she doesn't have to listen to me "hmmm" & "ooooh, a sale" & "well maybe this one" anymore.
