??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

You can't build one for what they cost on sale.


No kidding? I'll have to look around. Sears? Home Depot? Auto parts
shop? - Mike

Well I knew a cabinet maker that did that.

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.

Take a look at Harbor Freight. They've got a nice one for reasonable
price.

You can get better quality cheaper at a pawn shop.

Best deals are usually this time of year. Check out Lowes, Sears, and the Depot.
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.
