Tool Cabinets and Trolleys - advice needed

LDarron65 on 22/11/2013 - 21:57

I've collected plenty of hand tools over the last 30 years but I've never had a proper storage cabinet. In my last 2 houses I had several old store fixtures (basically 3 big drawers standing 85-90cm high) that held everything but they didn't make it on our last move 3 months ago. A couple of weeks ago I had to replace the starter in the ol' family truckster and I must have spent 5 times longer looking for all my tools than it took to actually do the job. Enough is enough!

I just found this in SCA's christmas catalog. Are they any good? I realize this doesn't get me the worktop I used to have but I'm just thinking of tool storage right now.

Thanks!

    It certainly looks the part. No matter how organised i want to be, they all just end up everywhere

    I've been looking at to cabinets too. I can't understand why it's so expensive for some folded up sheet metal and drawslides. I was looking at this one too but I really want a wider trolley. This is only 26". There doesn't seem like much to choose from at an economy price point.

    Doesn't seem much there at the moment but graysonline has them from time to time and from what I've seen they can be cheaper than retail. Good luck

    Visit the store and pull the drawers out on one to see if you like it. I've seen several over the years at the right price, but when I go to the store, I find the bearings/runners feel cheap and nasty.

      Yes I can only agree with this one. The supercheap ones aren't made to a high standard. Best to check before you buy.
