New rolling tool chest

[aesanders]

Well, it's not quite an attachment for the tractor, but it does keep my tools used for the tractor.


Just got back from Costco with a new stainless tool chest. I think it is quite the deal for $650. It's 41" wide and about 66" tall. I've been needing a new chest for awhile now and have looked everything over from Sears, Lowes, HD, TSC etc. and for the money this looks like the best thing going.

It is quite similar (although not exact) to this chest:

STAINLESS STEEL TOOL CHEST


If you're in need of one, I would check it out as I beleive it is quite the deal.


Also, Costco has the 56" model listed in the website above for $899. I probably should have bought it, but I really only needed the 41" medel.

Now that's sweet. Probally could attach it to the 3 pt. somehow and make it portable. Now for more fun, filling it with tools.

I bought the top and bottom box from Sam's club, not as nice as yours but mine was $450, Mine is 31" wide and 61" tall. Nice box you got!!

how deep?

ive been eyeing them for a couple of years now but most just dont seem to be deep enough for me at only like 19"...

i perfer the deeper 24" boxes as you gain another 20% storage capacity for basicly the same lenght/height box..

It's standard depth at 19". I don't see to many at the larger depth, and certainly not for the same $. Snap-on has some for mucho dinero.

Snap-ons are some serious dinero!

A family member spent $5000 on one 25 years ago.

I just moved it today to another location across town as he was selling his house. I kid you not that thing loaded with tools weighed no less than 1700 pounds. Good times.

Here is a pic. Garage is still super messy but I'm working on it:

I can tell you that I am absulutely ecstatic about mine. My wife gave me the larger one from Costco last year. The 19" depth is fine for me, as I constantly roll mine around in the shop to give access to a raised door behind it. A deeper box would also be 20% heavier to push!! But after a year, it still looks pretty new & has been a lovely place to stick all the decals & plaques I had collected for years until I finally got the toolbox of my dreams! Oh, AND a fine place to store all my tools as well! ;-)

A box like that would cost me a fortune in the long run. I would have to keep buying replacement tools for the ones I loose in the upper top portion.

That is, unless they would happen to sell a matching 3 foot step stool!!
