QR Code Link to This Post
Has flip top lid with new struts. Replaced the original ones with upgraded- soft rise type. The lid locks and comes with two keys. On each side of the under lid's compartment there is on-board tool storage separated on left and right by the metal wall from the rest of the storage. The cart comes with the option of using power tools: has a power strip with three regular 110 V outlets and two USB outlets for charging portable power tools, phones etc. One the back of the cart there is a 6-feet long extension power cord which could be unplugged. The back of the storage compartment has a lever to lock the lower drawers with just a push of a finger.
The chest has 5 (five) drawers. They are increasing in depth from top to bottom. I did replace slides on three top drawers with soft close/ catch and grip ones. These slides alone have been $70 a pair. The lower two drawers run on double slides to carry substantial weight of larger tools. There are two slides on each side of the lower drawers. They are original but well lubricated with silicone.
The cart comes with large wheels: two fixed type and two swiveling ones with locks to keep it in position. large ergonomic handle is on the fixed wheels side. The drawers come with four rubber mats to prevent scratching inside surfaces.
There is also quick tool storage on each outside wall: for screwdrivers, pliers and so on.
The left side has a drop down shelf to assist with working at eye level. Everything works - runs, slides, rolls, power locking and opening the top as it should. Basically the chest is in like new condition with upgrades. No rust. Lubricated with silicone only (no WD-40). I bought this chest back in 2020- 2021 for about $2470. So the cart is about 5 years young.
Downsizing my shop- time for it to go.
