As the title says, I'm looking to get a smaller sized roller tool box that I can bring to the track. Any suggestions or recommendations on what to get? Not looking to spend a fortune, but also don't really want anything that is cheap. So something in between? Thanks! :up:
You might be better off with a lockable cart with a few drawers ill find a picture of what I'm talking about and post it. Also what's your price range.
As long as you don't need it in a rush keep your eye on Craigslist. There have been some outstanding deals on Snap On boxes on the local Craigslist.
Like the one shown here. Ironically with a bike. http://www.garagejournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=66180
Craigslist is definitely a good resource also check out cornwell tools their carts are around 3 to 5 hundred and are made pretty well
ha! i know quick208 from my other (socal) board. random to see the same people on different forums. uh about carts? i got nothin.
yeah, didn't really think to look on craigslist. i'll also check out cornwell tools. i'll pass on the green box lol.. what an eye sore..
There's a big ass Husky at some HomeDepot's right now for 250. Work bench top. Locks. http://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-46...h-with-Solid-Wood-Top-HOTC4609B1QBD/203859406
If you're not a tool snob buy this. It's a great cart or the money. You can get them for 99 bucks with a coupon. Sturdy and reliable http://m.harborfreight.com/580-lb-c...t-95659.html?utm_referrer=direct/not provided
i got the one from harbor freight, think i paid $269 for it, it handles the needs & if it gets trashed i don't care LOL
IMO the HF boxes and carts are not bad and the price is definitely right but their known to have shit castors and if he's planning on rolling this thing all over creation at the track and in and out of a trailer it might not be a bad idea to look for something a bit better Granted you can change the castors on the HF boxes but there is still a build quality difference. But all of that said the HF stuff is better than any of the other big box store brands IMO Again though I would look at Cornwell tools there is value in their carts and boxes.
I have this one and it's VERY nice http://www.harborfreight.com/30-in-5-drawer-704-lb-capacity-glossy-red-tool-cart-61427.html Think I paid $170 (lowest I've seen). Nothing I saw under $500 came close. Added these for easier rolling on dirt/grass/bumps http://www.harborfreight.com/8-inch-pneumatic-swivel-caster-42485.html If I did it again I'd consider the 10" casters instead.
so a negative on the big ask husky from Home Depot? i saw it in person, just wasn't sure about the quality. i didn't think about HF boxes. a lot of good ideas.
thats the same one i have, i may go grab those casters, it would make getting through grass etc.. a hell of a lot easier
I personally have not been to impressed with the Husky boxes that have been made in recent years. A guy I used to wench with a few years ago had an old husky box that literally was on par with my Matco box with exception of the fact that the weight of the box was not enough to hold it up right if he had a few of his heavier socket drawers open. It would tip but as I said that was a very old Husky box the new ones are way more flimsy
