Need wheeled toolbox recommendation

admin

Can somebody here recommend a wheeled toolbox that's good for welders and not too expensive?  It needs a compartment big enough for a helmet, and a 2nd one for an angle grinder and a couple dozen odd tools such as hammers, wrenches, extra wheels, etc. and some small parts, as well as a welding jacket and gloves.  The only ones I can find are cheap plastic things (e.g. Stanley, Bostitch) that fall apart if you put anything heavier than a sewing kit in them.  DeWalt's system is nice, but with the metal carrier it can run $400.-RuarkLincoln 3200HDHobart Stickmate LX235TWECO Fabricator 211i
Reply:Get a Greenlee welders box.  It is large enough for a welders kit.  If you need more room, they make larger boxes as well.  Home depot usually has them."The reason we are here is that we are not all there"SA 200Idealarc TM 300 300MM 200MM 25130a SpoolgunPrecision Tig 375Invertec V350 ProSC-32 CS 12 Wire FeederOxweld/Purox O/AArcAirHypertherm Powermax 85LN25

Reply:The Continco plastic 50 gallon capacity boxes are pretty strong. About 50$ . Get a 2 wheel dolly and strap it to it.
Reply:Check the inventory at a Sears outlet if you have one near by.$300 gets you some massive tool storage at Harbor Freight. I just picked up a new unit from them with nothing to complain about. No its not professional tool storage  and  I would not want anybody working out of one to be working on anything I owned but for most people its a good deal.
Reply:I bought mine from Canadian tire, im sure you can find these down in the states too. I will take a pic of how I use mine and post it. I keep a tool bag or 2 in it, a large metal bucket, just about everything I need is in there. A rolling Tool chest I would recommend is a TCA. you can find them on youtube as well. I compare mine to the snap on tool boxes at work, I keep that to myself though, except to the snap on guy lol.Last edited by Doug247; 10-10-2015 at 02:27 AM.Nothing Ever Got Done By Quitting, Never Give Up.

Reply:I have picked up a couple of 2' by 4' gangboxs/ jobboxes used for $200 that will be your best bang for the buck. Sent from my C811 4G using TapatalkVantage 300 kubota ,miller 304 xmt ,lincoln ln 25 pro , ranger 305 G, plenty of other tools of the trade to make the sparks fly.
Reply:If it's not worth $250 bucks to get a good box, it's not worth doing at all. That said, have you looked at bags? The canvas klein bags are nice, and there are many bags that come with cordless tool sets that can be found pretty cheap. A good size bag can hold about as much as you can carry with one hand, get two so you can be balanced. Ian TannerKawasaki KX450 and many other fine tools
Reply:I got the 22" Husky bag for $99 at Home Depot. Awesome bag, indestructible, gobs of room, a zillion pockets inside and out.-RuarkLincoln 3200HDHobart Stickmate LX235TWECO Fabricator 211i
