Reply:What kind of hair grows on your back to tear up the drumstick like that? Razorwire? Like the microwave in the box. Used to keep one in the side box of the utilitybody along with a coffee maker for the guys. You get really strange looks on a jobsite when you go to the truck for a pot of coffee or to microwave soup for lunch. My new truck will get them as soon as I get the inverter for it.It holds my tools and has wheels, does this count as a "rolling tool box"?

oad'N'Go removeable tool box body on my welding truck. When I saw this, I just had to have it. The body can be lifted off the truck with jacks like an rv truck camper. It mounts to the truck with clamps that go under the bedrails.

It's VERY heavy ... the top is 4" thick. All the drawers are on roller bearing slides so you can load it up with a lot of weight. Currently I have 5 or 6 drawers full of short (24" or less) metal cut-offs that I'm constantly digging into for pieces during a project. The rest of the drawers are full of tools.

All setup in a clean room with some nice peacefull music. Just relax while I build something minor like a blown alcohol HEMI!

Reply:Well, here are my boxes and I can assure you that they are loaded to full capacity. You can see my 20YO taiwan vice in the pic on the bench. I also included a pic of my fishing toolbox, and the rest of my arsenal. I also have two and a half full standing, double door cabinets full of power tools.

Reply:NightShiftHD, I never even dreamt of anything so beautiful... Tears of joy fill my eyes, who needs world peace when there is that, could i come visit your tool box, kneel and pray on my knees in front of it.... oops i think i went to far there Nothing Ever Got Done By Quitting, Never Give Up.
Reply:Wow, that big Snap-On workbench is the cat's meow! Would look great with a bikini model in front of it .The tall roller cabinet with 11, 4" or 6" deep drawers all the same size looks like a Stanley Vidmar to me.

Reply:I built 7 of these, 6 for my buddy's and one for me. Its over 5' tall and 4' wide and holds a ton of tools. I bent it all from 16 ga steel with an old hand brake.

It looked like hell when I got it, and in fact I just got done with it today! It had a BUNCH of shop stickers on it, and a calendar magnet from 1984.... it's heavier than any of today's boxes that are similar sized. Anyhow, here it is hehe:And open:Have a Jeep Cherokee?

Reply:Originally Posted by Fabc8torMy shop looks more like desert rider's...a whole lot of stuff w/ rollers so i can push it all together due to a lack of space. Or did you just do that for the picture? I have a bench grider/ polisher on a moble pedstle as well...very handy to move outside so you don't make a mess.
