Most liked posts in thread: Harbor Freight Tool Cabinet

I've got the Rubbermaid version of that, was afraid if the metal one rolls into the car it's over :eek6:

 

Yippee, I have something to share...

Okay, I have one of the Harbor Freight boxes that I bought a couple years back at the same discount price. It is a pretty decent box, I am very happy with it and YES I got the "mod" bug.

I grew up using tool boards and fixed work areas, but my garage has just enough space that the project du jour may be too far away from a fixed tool/work area for my sanity. To solve this I added the tool board to the cabinet; not an original idea, but I am happy with my efforts.

Hopefully I have attached pictures correctly.

Thanks for letting me share!

 

Love the white board!!!

 

I'm looking at this one.

I know a guy with a new garage that has a place to put a new toolbox

 

Me too:lol:

OK, I'm going to stop at Harbor Freight on my way home from work tomorrow

If you want a real quality box, I got one of these from Costco - I paid about $650 and it's the most well made box I've seen. Heavy too - over 600lbs empty. All stainless...

 

If I had stupid money I'd be buying Lista brand tool boxes.

 

This one will work well for detailing stuff, and a few tools

Or something like this for detailing



$50

 

Good point! Think they do have a Rubbermaid knockoff as well, of course more expensive than metal :crazy:but worth it

Considering the lenghts I go to to make sure my MINI maintains no door dings from others it would be the irony of ironies to put one in myself!

 

I have both of the harbor freight rolling carts and they are well worth the money. There is a lot of assembly needed though.

 

I really like mine, the drawer slides are smooth as glass and the whole box has a real quality feel to it. Like I said, very heavy tho - over 600lbs before you stuff it full of tools!

They are hit or miss as to having them in stock, and they all don't look like this, some have a different drawer arrangement. I didn't really need another tool box, but compared to the cheezy cheap craftsman I was using, this was in a whole 'nother league! And a great buy for the price, especially as it's all stainless....

 

I went back to HarborFreight site and they do not have a 3 shelf plastic one, think the 3 shelf would lend itself to detailing better than 2. Perhaps retrofit some bumpers? choices, choices

 

You could buy some of those foam pipe insulation tubes, wrap them around the legs and over the edges of the trays, that should do it, and it will be inexpensive.

 

That was along the lines of what I was thinking

Thanks Dave!
