Tool Storage

mickeyco

Wish I had asked about them earlier, this past Saturday they were on sale, I even pulled one off the shelf and rolled it around, wasn't sure if it would hold up, sale ended that day. I'll be keeping an eye out for them, I want somethink like that for my most used tools.

It is pretty tough and is lockable.I keep it in the back of my truck with a cable lock around my rack...It is cool to be able to take it off the truck and roll it on to the lob site.I have most of my hand tools I use right there and don't have to go back and forth to my truck.

As soon as I can I will post some pics of an 7.5' x 16' trailer I am setting up, all custom cabinets w/doors. A custom storage area for consumables & supplies & inside ladder & brake storage. I want to try & keep a low profile with nothing on the outside & no advertising. I am building a custom tool box that is constructed of 1/2" Euro ply that will have multiple storage areas & a removable tote. It is 2' x 3' x 18"on 4 " casters with carry handles on both sides & a steer handle so it can be move on 2 or 4 wheels. It is still a work in progress & I need to finish the details (takes time). I am trying to make the top & sides raise up to save space & double as a work station & still be able to access all tools. The tool box & cabinets in the trailer will all match & the box will have a dedicated spot to secure it for travel. Hopefully this will make the jobs a little more efficient, if not at least we'll look good trying.

I have been thinking of building a rolling jobbox of sorts also, mine would probably be a little bigger at 2'x4'x31" (31" is the height of all my saw horses). Be sure to post some pics of it when your done, that way I can steal some of your ideas for mine....

For those who do not visit the "Box Stores" and know not of the Stanley.........I am impressed! And THAT is NOT easily achieved!!

I have the Stanley FatMax and like it okay. It is very heavy when fully loaded and a little awkward to put into the back of the truck or back seat. The wheels are hard plastic and smaller than I would like(Clears extension cords okay but you won't be pulling up stairs). The foot print when fully opened means you tend to not leave it fully opened so you need to keep that in mind when loading it up. All in all it does the job well but I feel like it could be improved upon.

I just uploaded some pics to show how I have it organized here. For those not wanting to leave the site.

This image shows the poplar grid I installed in the bottom of the box. It lets me keep extra blades stored safely and in an organized manner.


This just shows the tools sitting on top of the grid work. I can grab any tool without distrubing the others. I will say the CS is a tight fit and does require twisting to remove it.

For "handyman" type tools, the type that I could not be without for one second of the day I really like the electrician type handled nylon carrier. It is small enough to drag everywhere in the house with you and holds all neccesities, tape, electrical tester, knife, hammer, gloves, square, screwdrivers, etc... Plus the one I carry has a really neat secret compartment in the bottom for the things that you should always have a few of with you and handy, like wire nuts, nails, screws, extra blades, tapcons etc..

Hey Jarhead............

I noticed that the wheel assembly cantilevers or the like but I could not get it to go properly. Please explain.

Do you mean you could never get it to open fully?? Were the side locks disengaged?? It opens easily when there is some weight in the bottom, not so much when completely empty.

Sounds about right!!!!

After making sure side locks are disengaged you have to lift up the release and push the top one way while pushing the bottom the opposite way. I waited until I loaded up everything I wanted in the box before removing the stickers and such because I was worried about how it opened too. Rest assured when so fully loaded you don't want to lift the damn thing it opens quite easily.

Looks like a sweet box. I have the older model but we won't see that model here for a while.
