Tool Organization for your Home Workshop? Consider this
I also participate on a tool/workshop forum. Its a great way to get ideas (ie., find ways to spend more money). Anyway, one of the better things I picked up at a good price is this Harbor Freight Tool Cart. HF is noted for cheap imported tools. But some of their tool storage is actually pretty good. They run a coupon on this four drawer cart for $99. You can download the coupon off the web, HF has no problems with downloaded coupons (they are pretty flexible).
The tool cart has four drawers, a top storage area with lid, and a bottom shelf. The cart is big enough to hold just all of my tools, certainly all the tools that I use on a routine basis (truing stand and vise are mounted on a separate work bench). And you can roll it next to your bike stand or wherever it is convenient. I have had tool cabinets with top boxes for years. The cart is MUCH handier, and cost a small fraction. YMMV, but this cart is pretty nice. If you want something bigger, HF has a coupon out there for the cart one size larger, five drawers, for $169. I really can't see buying anything bigger. The pic below is with the drawers open (they close of course). Ball bearing slides. The shop are picture "looks" spacious, only because I am currently occupying the living room of a duplex I am rehabbing (I am fixing up the other unit, believe me, this side is really rough). Prior to this, my workshop area was a world class disaster zone. I've got a lot of racks and other stuff to build, so this area will fill up pretty fast. http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5264/...043cbfc6_b.jpg http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5094/...30b7f761_z.jpg |
That looks useful. I'll have to wait for a coupon. Sometimes if you go into the store, stuff is lower than it is online. Sometimes not...

Sigh.....I miss having a garage workspace. I've been downsizing every year for about 5 years now. Planning on moving in a couple of months and just having a carport. I have NO idea where to even put my bikes!!
Love that Park stand. Miss working in a shop with one of those. Nice too box too. The foam is a great touch! |

Cycle World and Motorcyclist magazines regularly have HF 20% off coupons in their back pages advertising sections.
