Hi 👋. I really enjoy your videos! 🙂. Im 17 and it’s super cool to have someone be able to teach be some awesome stuff (my father passed away so I don’t really have anyone to teach me these things you do) I appreciate you! Thanks for making these videos
Blink is free ! No monthly fees !
Hey Cody just a heads up you’ve got someone pretending to be you replying to your comments offering a free gift. If you look at my comment he replied to it.
@@jisaacs82 had the same happen to a couple of my comments. Reported it as spam.
Can I please get a response what are your thoughts on bigfoot/sasquatch since you are working in the Forrest and please respect me cuz I'm norse pagan and don't want to be preached at cuz I get that enough from Christians
6 months from now “why the tool box as a cart isn’t the best option” lol 😂 I love you Cody; it’s inevitable though.
yep, or the tool box fell on him and messed up his other leg.
Yep... when he finds out 4 casters makes the box more likely to tip over, if anyone else does this mod PLEASE put the regular casters back on if you want to load/unload it
@@michaelgraves5320 I see your point; he is smart enough to know what not to do so it doesn’t flip for sure. Cody just can’t help but to change his mind once or twice a year.
It just means he’s always improving and adapting 😂
That's how you grow
“well gentleman i guess that’s it” I know you’ve mentioned you don’t have many women subscribers at all but I adore your videos, and I learn so much, you’re a natural teacher, and very knowledgable. I’ve never had a father figure to tell me about anything tools but your videos are so relaxed, and you’re a respectable man, thank you for the content!!
That's a nice message!
I'm here too!
Me too!! Haha 😅
Welcome!
@@EmilyDillon295 awesome!! Glad you are here :)
The non swivel casters are for stability. So by chance the swivels are facing in the same direction. With a heavy loaded drawer open it could tip and if it starts there's no stopping it
Agree
Ask me how I know . Nothing like picking your tools off the ground and dealing with busted organizers
@@jimforsyth2. or opening a Craftsman socket set, the sockets don't lock in like a De Walt socket set
I put some of my shop items on wheels for many years. If you get wheels, remember to nudge a wheel or two away 90 degrees as soon as you have it where you want it. Think of it as setting the parking brake.
Hey Cody, the reason you should not put casters on all sides is if the toolbox is full and you leave the draw pulled out. The box could flip over if the casters are all in the rear facing position. I have seen it happen.
Makes sense. But I prefer to have mobility and take care of these problems myself.
You put the max pull of the castors inside the center of gravity.
True. But the depth of his cart he shouldn't have an issue with it. I've had it happen on my shallow depth cart but never on my deeper drawer carts
One key to the drawers not coming open is having latches like snapon does. Drawers that have detent latches tend to wear out quickly and aren't always latched when you think they are.
That'll happen to any toolbox, 2 or 4 casters. Just don't open more than 1 drawer. Simple.
I totally agree with you on a lot of these points, having your toolbox mobile and the way the casters are set up and only one handle. Over the years I’ve accumulated multiple sets of a lot of tools and what I’ve started doing was getting tool boxes or totes for different applications. I’ve got a box for air tools with all the different fittings and thread compound and clamps in quick disconnects and all of that stuff and some tool oil. I’ve got another one for Plumbing with specific plumbing tools spare parts. Of course impact stuff I keep together and small delicate or tiny tools I keep on the workbench because whatever and work on is probably going to fit on there. One thing I would consider for me if I was doing what you’re doing right now would be getting smaller toolbox. There are carts with small shelves under them or room for a toolbox and if you’re gonna be working on a motorcycle or a lawnmower you’re probably not gonna need 99% of the tools that are in that box. Then when I have things I worked on a lot. Like my lawnmower deck. I’m using a 15 inch socket all the time to replace pulleys or release tension on the tensioner pulley so I can phone put replacement belts on etc., it’s got a lot of eight and 10 mm bolt on it in time so I just keep one of my extra ratchets and those three sockets and a screwdriver on the mower. You’ve talked about before on a motorcycle tool kit getting just what you need in the small portable tools, it’s kind of the same concept but just having specialized smaller easier to move around boxes. That might not be applicable if you’re buying brand new snap on tools but I bought craftsman tools over the years and different sets and I’ve never had a problem with them, So having a set to work on a car or a set for Plumbing or a set for your motorcycle or ATV your mower or a set for doing wood stuff in a set with grinders and cut off wheels etc. then when you need to do something along that line just go grab it. It is some redundancy in it take some extra space but for me it saved a lot of time. Some people probably won’t like it but it works great for me.
Also I don’t have a problem with a lot of the cheaper toolboxes until you get into the large stuff. If you’re gonna get a 30 inch toolbox, I think you’re right definitely spend some money and make sure you get something with Jor that stay close something that’s not gonna tip over when you open a couple of doors maybe something lockable if that’s an issue for you but for a little toolbox are usually just get some socket holders and put pretty much just the sockets I need on there or at least that size range everything and the lube and sprays and whatever I need for that specific application and cheap small toolboxes work great for me. I like tool bags supportability. In my truck I keep the tools I use for that in the back in a bag because it rolls around a lot and not having a bunch of sharp corners to rip up interior is nice. I think a lot of people look at pictures of some dream garage I want these enormous toolboxes and it can be awesome but I think you would do well to look at the specific types of jobs you do often and just put together a set for that specific job and make it portable and suitable for that application. About your tools for your motorcycle for ATV, I did a lot of Offroad and rock crawling and had a Toyota and had every socket size I needed in a bag with some wrenches an extra seals and axles in Burr Fields extra nuts and bolts hoses clamps or anything else I might need out on the trail but I was able to get it all in one or two little canvas bags instead of lugging a huge toolbox around or having to prep a set of tools every time I went out, another advantage that is overtime you’ll learn what you need to add to it if you missed anything but once it’s there you’re good. So I like the idea of having multiple sets of tools for specific application and it’s nice to have good quality tools but if you’re just working on a bicycle or a little go cart, sometimes cheap Harbor freight tools work great. I’ve got sets that I’ve been using for several years. If I own a mechanic shop I wouldn’t use them but I’ve got those I’ve got some craftsman and other brands if I have to go replace a broken socket but over 30 years of doing the stuff I’ve stripped a few sockets mainly using them on rounded off bolts but I’ve only broken one. Impact sockets I would probably spend a little more money on but if you’re working on a Bicycle or a mini Barik, $20 set of ratchets from Harbor Freight will probably be fine so getting extra sets for specific applications is not a huge deal. Woodworking and tools do you want to put your money into quality blades but a ratchet to put a bowl in wood, almost anything you buy is going to do that just fine. So I think people need to really think about what they’re going to do repeatedly and decide what they need and where they need it and sometimes it’s just a better option to have multiple sets in containers or toolboxes just for the specific application so they can grab them and go and not have to sort through a ton of tools to find what they need, kind of the idea of putting everything on a cart but with multiple sets you just have that ready all the time.
I’ve been pulling the four drawer harbor freight cart around my shop for over a decade and love it. It has my most used tools in it and is a great place to set things when working.
the mechanics have work carts too oneth a month we take inventory of the tools in the shop and in the service vehicles too
Me too ! It’s packed full of random projects tools . I need to shake it out more often !
Probably cost less than one of those Snap On casters too! 😂
As a pipe fitter I have a 5 gallon bucket for every job.
Being Snap On, I'm sure those 2 casters and handle cost about the same as a new US General tool box.
Professional Home Owner: No apologies necessary. No one can know everything. I have learned lots of tips from you and I enjoy your episodes.
I call bullshit. There's no "best setup", cart, roll around box, 5 gallon bucket or whatever. Not one single box will ever contain all that you need all of the time. But what do I know. I'm just an old farmboy. I do like the the 4 steerable casters. For maneuverability it seems excellent. Also, you can't always get things into the shop. You may have to pack a few tools in wagon (this what I do on wrecking yard trips) or a 5 gallon bucket. And carry/haul things out into a pasture or field. I really do enjoy your videos. They give me ideas on how I can improve some things. But also what I don't like about something you might do that works for you and your situation. I do think you missed your calling. You should have been a shop teacher. You are very articulate and explain things to a very fine level. Thank you for what you do!
For those without unlimited wallets, You can build your own out of wood. It might not be as nice as a Snap-On, Lista, etc. But it will get the job done, and you can build it to your exact needs. I have purchased several roller cabinets, but I've also built my own. Right now I am building some shallow depth wall mount cabinets out of wood: I am using 1x4 & 1x6 for the draw frames, 1/4 plywood for the draw bottoms, and 1x16 for the cabinet frame. Last year I built a large 3 ft wide x 5 ft tool lista style cabinet to store a bunch of parts & consumables. I set up a bottom draw to store a collection of Dewalt\Stanley compartment organizers, and a mid level pull out worktop as a place to open up the compartment organizer to get parts out that I need. The rest of the drawers where made of 1x4 & 1x6 with 3/8" plywood for the draw bottoms. All of the drawers have a laquer (air spray) finish. I used 1/16 alum angle stock for the drawer pulls. It pretty much looks like a factory made storage cabinet.
Been watching your awesome channel for years, just wanted to say, a video title that tells me what it’s about, is more likely to get my attention than a vague title. You don’t need to trick me into watching, I already love your channel
Firstly, while not criticizing your love of Snap-On, I would not spend my money on anything that expensive by my principles. That being said, may I recommend adding. work-top to that tool box, say something along the lines of a relatively thin butcher-block style top. You might even be able to mount a small vice on ot as well.
He should just Build one.
I used to work in a production plant. One thing that was really fun. Was the great tool box custom build challenge... it wasn't official lol. But all the maintenance personnel had tool boxes naturally... that started from as simple as your Snap On... to extreme... a frame would be built with oversized caster tires... a pull handle... and from there the sky was the limit and I mean it was no holds barred lol... tool box.. step ladder.. light... extension cords... closet attachment... work space... vice... the more creative the better to include custom paint schemes !!! All tools were secure and in orderly organization and clean. Even a stool ... some had a radio... The idea was as you described... but you could move it with you anywhere in the plant and have everything you needed for any job required. The unspoken challenge was how well you built it and customized it. Might be a little extreme for your shop... but it was functional.
Great advice. The very first thing I did with my "shoppingcart" style toolbox was make it freewheeling at all casters. I also inherited my Fathers toolbox. It was shoppingcart style when I got it, but no more.
Other that to sell parts and perhaps save money, why don't manufacturers just have them designed with installed at the factory? For SnapOn that's a $140 a piece add on for the end user. Ouch.
@wranglerstar I have a similar set up. I cut and bolted a 1/4” plate to the top. I have a 1.5” lip overhang on the drawer side and mounted a small/medium vice. The 1/4” plate makes it great for heavy duty pounding or anything without denting the top of the box. Would recommend!
A (4) caster set-up will 'walk around' when working off the top of it-especially on an uneven floor. However, there are many ways to chock the wheel(s) temporarily that are available on the market or just make some from your own design.
most wheels ive seen lock pretty well on their own tbh
The wheels have locks on them.
Just put your foot in front of it, assuming you aren't in flip flops you should be fine lo
A tool cart is still the most profitable piece of equipment, in any shop environment, despite having and needing an actual tool box. You don't need every tool in your tool box for every job, and more often than not, you only need a simple, open top and easily movable way of having the tools you need, available. I have 25 years of experience in multiple shop atmospheres and not having tool carts is the number 1 problem in lack of production. Every time.
I don't have a garage and my big 72"x48" box is in my block and mortar shed out back so having a tool cart is a must. It's not a storage option, it's a working accessory to supplement a big box. I couldn't imagine rolling all my tools around to every project I'm working on. You stock it with the tools you need for the job you're doing then clean them off and put them back in the box when you're done.
Nice demo. You might consider small spray can shelves mounted halfway down. Good for holding common lubes, cleaners etc!
Was thinking the same thing... HF has magnetic ones in multiple colors
In my shop I have a 4x4 table separate from my welding table I built. Got big casters for ease of rolling, but it's got a vice and a second tier to it on the bottom. Great work space/tool storage. The frame is square tubing and purposely left some ends open for shoving pry bars and other long tools in the tubing. Works great for me but I'm also the only one in my shop!
Only $150 a caster! I’m not sure it’s a convenience worth $300 plus.
Just a suggestion. I always build my own separate wheel rack that the tool box can just be set down into out of angle iron. This allows the wheels to be quickly removed so that if you ever want to load the box into the bed of a truck the box will be sitting directly on the bed and will not roll around. You can put lifting eyes onto the box if it is built strong enough for hoisting the box easily. If not there are other ways to make a box liftable. Another benefit of using a wheel rack is that you can make a second rack with balloon tires so that it will roll on dirt and gravel and just lift the box onto the desired rack when needed, the racks also work as dolly platforms if you need to move other items. I spent years, when I was younger, traveling to build and install overhead crane systems and this was how that company did it, and I have kept the practice ever since. You really do not want all four casters to be able to rotate though. That is just asking for a tip over.
One idea for keeping the top of your tool chest clear is to build a shelf that the tool chest goes under. that way when you put it away nothing fits on top of it yet you still have a stationary place to set stuff, and the next time you get the tool chest out it’s clear and ready to go.
Good idea 👍💡😎
So I have been working with a toolbox as my shop cart for a few years now. It's too heavy, doesn't close, and is so cheaply made that I'm getting another one soon hopefully. I hate that thing but my company wouldn't spring for a better one...
I can say though that the only thing missing from your toolbox is a nice aluminum table top. I know it'll make it slightly heavier but it will protect the top from dents and work as another work table. Imagine you're putting a heavy part like an alternator or some other heavy part on the box and it slipped out of your hand? I strongly recommend the aluminum top.
If you happen to have a toolbox where the drawers do not lock, a guy can get a bar goes across all the drawers and mount a hasp on the box. This allows you to lock it up and doubles as a means to keep the drawers closed as you roll it around.
Glad to see you’re mobile again after the injury! How’s the irrigation going? Still waiting on that field mowing live stream
It's all good as I still say a smaller tool cart rock's for easy rolling around the shop for odd jobs . Agree at 8:46 , when ya get much bigger the box generally is stationary along the shop wall .
The best is a gasoline powered Knapheide tool box . You can work out of your shop with it or in the field .
Nice work on the castor wheels Cody !
Avation mechanics have been doing this for years, i would also add bolting a wooden workbench to the top that you can do some light hammering on and has an over hang so you can clamp stuff.
You can buy boxes with workbench tops but they are super expensive and a wooden top is easy to add and a fun little project.
When I saw the video of why a tool cart was better than a box, and as a mechanic, I knew you were wrong and I was waiting for this day and I'm so happy to see this!
Great Ideas. I too had a toolbox fall over on me because the draws didn't lock. As a result the bottom draw slides bent and I never replaced them.
I guess if I could afford a Snap-On toolbox, I could also afford a perfectly flat, always clear and clean floor. And a couple more tool boxes too, because all my hand tools in one toolbox would require steel wheels otherwise. With four swivels, be sure to keep all drawers but the one you're using closed and locked. Finally, be aware that the toolbox no longer meets OSHA standards.
Urethane wheels are plenty strong enough to support the largest toolbox, completely loaded to the limit. No need for steel wheels. Finally, no one cares about it being OSHA compliant.
Why isn't it osha compliant ?
@@trevortimmreck Altered. Four swivel casters make it unstable. Tip-over hazard.
Which specific OSHA standard?
@@littlejackalo5326 no one except people that use tools to make a living not just toys or hobbies
A great upgrade! I can't afford SnapOn, but am happy with my classic Craftsman tool chests...I have 4 of them. I added swivel, braking castors to my three beech workbenches...they are rock-solid when the brakes are on.
The best thing to get are the lifetime 6 or 8 foot folding tables ! Every time I start a project I pop out a table gather all my tools I need set them in half the table then the other half is for removed parts or new parts I have found this to be so much easier when doing projects or working on cars at the house yes you still have to run back to the big tool box to grab that one tool you forgot . The tables are about 100 bucks and you can pick up several of them for 1/4 the price of a tool cart and they fold and store very easy
I have the same thing, long folding table. Don’t remember when I bought it but it has so many uses, wife and I set it up to fold our cloths and when we have projects going on. It’s one of those things our families always had and was one of the first things we bought together for our home.
@@joeseabert8391 o yeah I pick one up every time they go on sale I believe we have 6-7 of them now
The 4 swivel casters are nice if your in a shop that has a nice level floor. I’ve personally seen guys mess up their cart and a customer’s vehicle because the cart slowly rolled toward the drain in the middle of the bay as they were working under the hood. As for being able to push it flat against the wall you just need a little extra clearance and you can parallel park it. Or since your normally bringing it to what your working on you can just store it with the fixed caster side pushed against the wall, it takes up less wall space that way anyway.
I have a stationary tool box and fluid cabinet and use a cart on wheels that’s has 5 drawers the bottom 2 are nice and deep middle one is slightly smaller and slightly bigger than the top 2. Now I usually grab what ever tools I need or think I might need and load it up. There are tools that I leave in it all times it has a nice flat top on it that I also sometimes use as a work bench and have mounted a little vice on it as well. It’s my mechanic cart most of the tools that stay inside of it are tools that I only use while working on cars trucks tractors etc. it has a molded cup holder and molded holes for tools and a ladder it’s pretty nifty
I used a spray on the top of my tool box lid. It is like a truck bed liner on it. Made it non slip and making it a more versatile as a work top when that extra space is needed.
Bedliner spray works really well... I also like to have a removable mat (with some "grip" on both sides) in case I want to work with oils or other chemicals... to clean off any mess just pick up the mat, clean off the spill elsewhere (on the floor with sawdust/kittly litter to soak up the big stuff, & then in a sink to give it a final wash), and not worry about anything caustic removing the paint on the top or sides of my box.
Kinda like having a rolling stool... anything to conserve energy.
I have no doubt the OEM SnapOns are top notch.. but castercity also have a very impressive selection of quality commercial/industrial casters in various materials that can more closely suit your floor.. Urethane, iron, phonelic, even pneumatic for rougher surfaces.. they also have direction-locking 360 casters so if you want them fixed in a given direction you can, or open them up for 360..
Price-wise, I do not know how they compare, but for any cart, a wheel upgrade makes a world of difference.
Also, for that tool cart, I'd still love to see a Boos block on top. Maybe even a 4" vice. But this would be my only workbench, so it would also be my only vice.
I wonder if Cody has trouble parallel parking? 😂 Next video, rear steering wheels for the F350.
One other piece of advice that's maybe just for me, but I like to have the cart fit right under a shelf/countertop. That way it's got a place to go. It also forces me to put my stuff back away because I can't slide it under my shelf w/o clearing off the top first.
a note about those rolling chairs, gotta have a smooth floor. When it's full of cracks/divots, so annoying to have the wheels catch and jerk you around. I had a cheap old office chair in my shop for a bit, and it didn't last long with my garbage floor. One of the wheels caught, and cracked the plastic base/frame of the chair. Kinda funny looking back
Anything flat in my garage gets filled with junk
As an add-on to your box I like some saddle bags trays for aerosol cans.
For my older craftsman box I have use SS shower bars as push bars, we had a junk yard that save these in various lengths they can act as a bumper. Last tip my step bad used a double sheet of ply wood to off set the extra heavy duty caster outside the normal foot print of the box plus this lets the box move easily around the floor and down a driveway with less chance of tipping over.
I'm really glad I was between bites when you caught yourself talking about jacking the toolbox up.
For my first cart I did the HF 5 drawer and swapped the 2 fixed castor for full motion casters and added a shelf on both sides and kept both handles.
Great content Cody!
Do NOT recommend replacing the fixed position casters for the off center swivel ones - those casters are for stability!
5:08 we gonna ignore that little slip? Lmao
Ok guys iv been a auto tech for quite a few years two snap on carts not roll boxes... and let's be ohnest if you pay 2300 dollars for that snap on roll box your not working on the top of that thing
My wife's got 2 Huskys for her Gloforge area. Things are awesome. They are mostly locked in place but I'm wondering now if they have 4 casters. For what its it's worth, I work on my coffee table or just outside on a table across 2 horses.
ANY Flat horizontal surface in a shop is RARELY clean!
What really a stinks is when you have a longer bench that has 3 sets of casters, and the center pair is fixed. Lot of back and forth to get it snug up against a wall.
I think you could go over red & blue locticte in a bit more detail. There are a lot more formulations within the red & blue lines. Different viscosity for different thread pitches
Used or new; I'm on more of a Harbor Freight budget.
Everything goes on the floor. A floor for everything and everything on the floor.
I asked back a while ago and I don't think you ever responded. That being said it is something that I still wonder about. I asked if there was a reason you stack your wood in round stacks. I figure there must be a reason that I don't know but would like to know. I watch many of your videos on ax's and my dad had a nice little collection of them. I was not able to get much information on most of them but one of them was made with a forge welding process that mixed different metals to allow the part the handle went through to have different properties then the cutting edge. It had an offset handle that from what I read was made to be swung from the side to make a flat side on the log so it could be stacked for building. Just one of many unusual ax's he collected over the years that had a special purpose. I can't find to many people that know much about them. You seem to know more then most when it comes to quality wood tools.
You can do a lot with those axes, prob could build a house with them. The offset is great, handy for making logs into shingles and all sorts.
I'd think the combo of the rolling cart, the tool chest and the rolling chair is a great mix to work on anything, just for the sake of space for spray bottles and extra parts that you need on hand. Even if some say it's overkill.
"Be careful when jacking these boxes o...up." Freudian slip? Haha
The way to go is a large box with a hutch that has a locking roll up door. Also to have a small tool cart.
When you have a job, grab tools you need from box. Put them in the cart. If need a work surface you open your hutch. If need not leave something your working g on laid out alp night and don't want anyone putting g their gru. Y ha ds on it, you can lower the roll up door and lock it. Another advantage to the hutch is, if you are working g on something, you can leave the tools your using out, close the door and lock it. Although, I do fi d it to be a best practice too put your tools away EVERY night. In doing this, if something is missing, you know immediately. Trying to find a tool the same day it was lost,gi es you a better chance of finding it.
Cody look at the snap on side panel and accessories. Tool hooks can and screwdriver holders, etc. they are awesome. I put a 1/4” steel plate on the top of my roller it’s great, you can pound on even mount a small vise. draw back is sockets and such will roll off , but small price to have a nice top.
I like getting the cheaper roller carts, one for metric and one for standard tools, and put big fat tire offroad wheels on them so when I wheel them around gravel and dirt and grass, they don't sink in and I dont have to kick it up and down the driveway haha
Would add a fold down side bench top
I noticed the casters have a locking swivel for your foot to operate. Should you need to . You can lock one or all four. That's a great option I believe I would utilize.
Been a mechanic for 25 years now, give or take a few. The small roll around cart is the best. I put my most used tools on there and roll it from station to station. My toolbox is for specialty tools and big stuff or things I use infrequently
I miss when Cody was all about the common man. Not a 10k$ snap on tool box
Looks great. Always glad I got a garage sale rolling seat.
I heard a little verbiage slip up at 5:09...Love your videos sir.
Weird, my husky toolbox has casters all around with locks.
Speaking of work surfaces, a good thing that ive done with this type of box is to put a piece of butcher block the size of the box top and screw it form underneath. Or a piece of nice thick plywood. So it doesn’t dent and scratch the top of the box then what i like to do is cut a piece of outdoor carpet with a nice short tuft. A nice dark grey and glue to the top of the wood now you dont have to worry about screws or small parts rolling off the top plus the carpet protects any chrome parts youre working on. And such tell me what you think Cody
Amazon sells casters. I had to replace the casters in my creeper and I found the up grade You are right it is an over sight by the manufacturers (especially for what they ask for the tool box. And yes you want them to have brakes. Lock Tight is a good idea.
I have lots of tools but no Snap on. I feel they are over priced for similar tools available on the market. I still have the drop forged metric end wrench set ai bought at Kmart. Yes Kmart! I was in college and didn’t have the money. If my car broke I had to fix it or get help from friends. I was fortunate to know gear heads. (Guys that would make their own replacement parts). Yes it was a strange school.
Tool carts are great when you start a job you put the tools you will need on it and put them away when finished. A tool cart with lockable top and drawers needs its own set of basic tools that you add specialty stuff to for the job at hand. After every job the specialty tools and extra stuff should be cleaned and returned to the main box.
Good tips! Thanks, Cody!
A cart with the tools/parts yopu need FOR THE TASK is great. You load up from the box and "parts room" and go do the task. The heavy cart stays where it is safe. I like leaving a single rigid wheel on the box it allows for a bit easier handling with one hand but you can pivot it almost as well as 4 casters.
Hay you forgot to show us the adjustable wrench drawer.
When I have the funds, I want to divide my tools into a Standard and Metric rolling box with a matching set of the other commonly used tools like screwdrivers, knipex, etc.
I might do this for my box.
Great Video. Thanks for Sharing.
Great advice. I found me a used 52” Snapon
05:08 Well, that there is a Freudian slip if I've ever heard one.
Those casters probably cost more than a harbor freight full cart.
With 4 swivel castors you can't steer it as well. When pushing it, it will want to go in any direction but the direction you want it to go in.
It'll work just fine.
coming from a lock perspective, might i suggest saying latching drawers vs locking drawers... locking tends to say that you have to use a key to lock them, whereas a latching drawer simply says that the drawers will stay closed without user intention to open them...
I never realised how big those castors were, now I really believe they can carry that sort of load. 700lb empty good grief that's really not your typical homeowner box!
I just emptied my box and then laid it on the side to put the new casters on it.
you should drink some castor oil before working on castors. It will greatly help with the movement.
Im currently living in an apartment i have no garage or shop for my tens of thousands of dollars of tools. I have no room to work on anything so im looking for a house with a shop. But until then i watch these videos to get my shop fix. I love the hand tool videos that wranglerstar does such as top 100 tool videos. Wranglerstar keeps the craftsman in me going.
Now put a dead tree carcass on top with a small Vice and hang a small trash bin on the side. All the cut zip ties and whatnot don’t end up in a drawer. It’s not for convenience sake, it’s just understanding human nature. I have a mechanics seat so I can sit and be at the same level as my grandsons. I’m the same age as you and the same height. Around 240 lbs. but my back only allows me about 10 minutes of standing before my feet and back starts throbbing. But sitting on that mech chair gives me hours of time to play with them and picking up their toys off the ground is a breeze. Plus the boys love it too. I need to get one that puts me at counter height so I can work in the kitchen.
I respect this man. And thanks for making such great wholesome content. I will be praying for you.
A nice rubber in the top will add some safe working surface. Excellent upgrading!
I could throw a craftsman tool in the ocean and the next day will be back in my toolbox I could have a security gaurd on duty 24/7 guarding my snap on tools and they would go missing 33 seconds after I buy them
Was about to say what is a clear bench! hahaha.
Never enough work bench space so true
Nice. I really dislike an all castoring tool box though.
Made in Algona, IA! My hometown and where my cousin has worked for 30+ years 🇺🇸
Great video, thank you.
An old engineer once told me loctite is a band aide for a poor design, I say loctite is a band aide for a poor assembler and I almost never bolt something together without it.
Hows the hip?
I'm using an old surplus hospital crash cart that cost me nothing for my small collection of tools. :)
Does the top have a rim/bead around the edge to prevent things from rolling off?
I even LIKED the informative commercial message...!
YAAAY!
No loctite on the bolts for the wheels??
Thank you for the video.
