Big Tool Box for Carry All Rack

[Diggin It]

Wandering through Lowes this morning, I stumbled on these Kobalt 50 Gallon Wheeled Toolboxes marked down to $49:



Has plenty of room for Two Stroke tool heads, bar oil, a small tool box, bug stuff and quite a bit else:



Double latched, hinged lid is water proof and has props to hold it open and the large wheels and extendable handle make it easy to move around even if loaded.:




I'll work out a way to strap it to the carry all as well as a way to hold the Two Stroke power head and a couple of long handled tools and a set of pruners/loppers. Should be pretty versatile since both the Carry All and this box can be used separately.

Check your Lowes if you're interested. Looked like they were closing out the Kobalt versions in favor of the Craftsman version that I didn't like as well. I'd imagine it would get quite hot inside while out in the Sun, so I may try to find a way to drill a couple of vent holes under the lips and cover with screen to keep bugs out.

Got some time to take it a bit further. Used an old rusted cattle panel cut down and bent to shape for the frame that sets on the carry all. Tool box sets on that. PVC pipes set in corners to hold long handle tools. This is all strapped, wired and lashed together right now as a prototype until I see what else I need to add. Eventually I'll get a new clean panel and re-work the whole thing, welding the joints instead of using wire. Bottom of the main cage/rack will be covered with a finer mesh to keep smaller things from falling through.

Need to find a way to hold it all in place but may just use ratchet or lashing straps as it would only be for temporary use.

The ways it's all set up is that it can either go on the front as shown or on the back using the three point pins. All about what jobs will be worked.

Toolbox can easily be removed for storage or other uses. That leaves the wire cage/rack available for use on the carry all for hauling whatever, maybe brush. Or it can all come off so I can use the carry all alone.

No wood to be left exposed. Nothing to waterproof or paint.
