Tool chest purchase
I feel like I’ve been buying tools like crazy lately. Sears currently has a sale on their big rolling tool chests. After living without one of these for many years (well, I borrowed one from my mother-in-law for a short while), I finally broke down and bought one. It’s still expensive on sale, but I have too many tools in boxes and on the workbench. It’s time to get organized.
I also picked up a bench grinder with stand at Sears. I comparison shopped a bit, but these things all look about the same and are around $40-60.
I like the Viewtainers that Walter Tondu has on his site, but I couldn’t find them at Home Depot. Instead I got a cheap multi-drawer plastic organizer. The major drawback with it is that the drawers slide very easily. Tip it just a little the wrong way and all of your carefully sorted parts are on the floor. Put the ear muffs on the kid if that ever happens. I think I’ll attach it to the wall.
