My first tool box i bought when i was 18, its just a stainless steel CSPS box from Costco. This three bank setup you made is very nice, and im sure it saved you a lot of money and its unique. Hate to think how much weight is in it now!Īgain, it just depends on how much space your allowed and the tools you need to protect. Bought 7 loaded Vidmars from a local auction and put 3 of them together, Used 3/8' angle and welded it up with large casters. To the point where your chuck will have Rust fingerprints the next day if he touches it.Īt home I made a big rollaround. One guy in our shop has been nicknamed Rusty as everything he touches rusts within 24 hours if not wiped off with acetone and sprayed with oil. I will admit, some people seem to have an acidic touch. Most of the seconds were due to surface blems or a VERY slight drawer warp. The used to have a sale once a year and we'd go over and look at them as the Dayton factory is nearby. Gerstner has factory 2nds that can be bought cheaper as well.

They were never used in the original boxes. Gerstners drawers are small and you end up putting the bigger stuff all together( vises, V blocks, sine plates and such) I got mine for the Water absorbing feature you mentioned and has served me well there. Wax the slide often but it's still wearing away. The bottom was wood and quickly bowed so I put in 1/8' stainless with felt bottom. I WAY overload it which is my own fault but need the storage. Had them for 17 years and the only problem I've had is I've worn out the slides on the bottom draw on the middle box. I have a Gerstner top and middle box for all my stuff at work. It really depends on your shop conditions and what you are doing.
