March 9, 20197 yr Popular Post With the downsizing from my California 3 car garage to a 2 car garage, I decided to get a new rolling tool box from Home Depot. It has lots of storage and built in electrical outlets on the side. It also has 2 USB outlets so I can keep my cell phone charged. I am chewing on making fold down work table over the top of the tool box to get more useable table space. So the shop is still in progress. Edited March 9, 20197 yr by Allen Worsham Change text
March 9, 20197 yr Oohh...a new flat surface...think of all the things that can be piled on that? Nice addition to the "family" Allen.
March 9, 20197 yr That is a lot of usable storage. Does the top flip up and storage under it? That might help keep it cleared off.
March 9, 20197 yr Author On a "Side Note" about the rolling tool box from Home Depot: When I went into our Home Depot one day a few weeks back, there were 8 of these rolling tool boxes just inside the main entrance door from the parking lot. I saw them and it got me starting to think (I know, thinking in Home Depot can get me into trouble). Since I pretty much go into Home Depot to look and/or buy something for the garage/house about 4-5 days a week, I kept seeing those rolling tool boxes. So then I took my wife with me into Home Depot (happy wife, happy life) she said you should get one of those to make your garage more efficient. So after a few more times to Home Depot I went and told the guy at the Pro-Desk that I wanted to buy one of them. He said no because all of those rolling tool boxes were purchased by one customer. So I said can you order one for me and he looked it up and got one set up to be shipped to the store. So when I got there last night to pick it up I asked who bought all those other rolling tool boxes. He said that it was bought by a "Dog Groomer" for his shop. I was perplexed for a few seconds....ok....more than a few seconds. Then the light bulb went on in my head and saw that it was a great idea for a Dog Groomer shop. They could roll the tool boxes around and they had all kinds of space for their various dog grooming tools as opposed to ratchets, sockets and screwdrivers.
