Side note: my headset press consists of a set of Chris King cup adapters ($50 off Ebay) combined with a 7/8" bolt, nut and a bunch of washers and a couple of BFW's. I'll try to take pics as I'm working and post them when I'm done. However, some of this panel will need to be cut away to allow access to the nuts attaching the handles. The drawer slides mount to an interior panel which is about 1" away from the exterior casing. Turns out interference with the handle hardware will not be an issue. I also pulled the drawers out of the casing. I bought the materials at Home Depot and Lowes: two chest handles, assorted hardware and a 2x4 sheet of 1/2" MDF. Plus, the two measily latches have always scared me. Now I'll be able to load the drawers facing out in theback of the car/truck and be able to stack stuff on top of it without affecting tool access. Plus, you have to open the lid to open the drawers, which gets annoying. I even bought a three drawer model almost exactly like yours in an attempt to replace it, but mine is 2" longer and while I didn't think it would make a difference, it did - certain tools just didn't fit well in the shorter drawers. McGRP01 - That box is similar to what I have now. When I get it all done, I'll try to post some pics. The drawers remove from the slides with minimal tools (a screwdriver) to access the inside. I plan to use 1/2" thick board and 1/4" countersink philips machine screws. I may add a couple more if I think it's neccessary (don't think it will be).

There are two existing holes in the top of the box. Good, hard, cheap, easily replaceable work surface. I imagine I may have to cut them to exact length so they don't interfere with the drawers. I plan to use a pair of "chest style" handles that are usually held in place by 4 bolts. The runners the drawers slide on are welded to the inside of the casing. However, I couldn't quite get past the $130 price tag.Īnd finally Sears has them on sale for $51.99 (+s/h).

It has the concept as my 2-dr box, but with the top compartment in a bottom drawer.

26"W x 12" deep and meant to go on top of a roll-away and under a chest. A complaint I've had is the standard problem with portable drawer boxes: the top has to be open to pull the drawers, which can make things tough when packing the car/truck.įor years, I've lusted over a Craftsman 3-drawer intermediate box. It was just (barely) big enough to hold everything, but was still managable on the weight side. Something that will hold my tool collection in a neat and organized manner, but not be too heavy that I can't easily take it with me to races and w/e gatherings.įor years, my 22" 2-drawer box has served this purpose. In my 20+ years of DIY wrenching and collecting bike tools, I've been seaching for the "perfect" box to store them in ("perfect" being a matter of opinion, of course).
