Looking for a tool Trolley
I'm looking for a 11-12 drawer (or similar) rolling trolley to put all my smaller hand tools and bits in.
Anyone recommend where I should look? I've started at Bunnings (I'm located in WOz) but haven't been super enthused with I've seen as yet. I might cruise past SuperCheap and see what they've got going on at the moment.
I'm not expecting it to get a major thrashing - I just need to portability of rolling out from the storage cupboard to the unsecured car port to work on projects.
Any pointers to potential suppliers would be appreciated.
Cheers!

I bought some Kincrome tools boxes (not trolleys). they're well made and really solid, ball bearing drawer slides, etc. Not sure where in WA you'd get them but the Kicrome site will tell you.
Check out this one from their range. I want it!Geoff

I think the fridge and stereo is overkill
They're certainly not a cheap storage option are they...

I was in the same situation. Sort of still am. Well what I ended up doing is get my hands on the really cheap trolly from Kmart. I put in some 5mill foam for lining and stored away the odds and ends tools. I can push this around the work shop.
I got one that has a door in the bottom part of the trolly so that dust does not get to it. As for the larger tools, these are not stored as yet, I am thinking of making a cupboard and putting this on wheels.
If I am lucky I will find one on the street and adjust this to suit.

A decent set of casters (Carbatec are half the price of Bunnies and have brakes that work) a sheet of 16mm CD ply, a sheet of >12mm ply and some drawer slides from Elraco or Hafele (the ones with tabs that go under the drawers are easier to fit).
Capacity of ~320kgs, 40 Kg per drawer, you can make it any size you like with any size/number of drawer/s you like. I make them 600x600 and 900 tall, with 4-5 drawers - that lets me use them as infeed/outfeed tables for my table saw and they are easy to fit into the jigsaw puzzle that is my workroom.

Bunnings (Perth) are having a $99 clearout of cheapo three-part trolleys.
They also order Kinchrome ones.
The SuperCheap ones are $199 and whilst only 2-part versions are might higher in build quality...
