??Build rolling tool chest?
You know the rolling mechanics tool chests that provide some work room
on top? you see these in any A&P shop. I don't need one, so I don't wanna spend much $$$, but if I could build one for nothing, it would be fun to have. Anyone built their own rolling tool chest? - Mike |

If you called the labor free, all the parts cost just slightly less than a stamped steel commercial chest, but it was a thing to behold. -- Jim Pennino Remove -spam-sux to reply. |

They've got a nice one for reasonable price. You can get better quality cheaper at a pawn shop. -- Dan C172RG at BFM |

I've never seen a real good deal at an auto parts shop. Lowes carries a brand called "Kobalt" that is excellent. IIRC, a recent post stated that these are made by Snap-On.

In my opinion, Harbor Freight doesn't sell very good quality stuff (except for the "name brand" items like Channel-lock). I never buy anything there if I need for it to last. I remain pleasantly surprised by a drill press I bought from them (which keeps right on going), but most of the items I've bought either didn't work very well or didn't last very long.

On other thing to do is check with you local Snap-On and MAC tool guy.
Virtually all of the dealers take tool boxes in on trade on new ones. Every so often the district they work out of has a sale of all the used one. Sometimes it's widely published and sometimes it's a word-of-mouth thing. It's worth a try to find one there. Craig C. |
