I have very limited wrenching skills, but the Vespa has given me practice and I am getting better. Since the only Vespa dealer in town closed, I am on my own anyway.
Through various projects, I have started building a small collection of tools beyond the rusty screwdrivers and mismatched sockets every dad has. I realized I need to store them properly.
I am hoping my son and I are going to learn a lot together with this TBird project, and I will surely be building that collection of tools further. So I need to get things organized. This unit was small, on wheels, had a work surface, and a bunch of little cubbies for screws and such.
I also like that it can plug in and run power through 3 outlets.
The unit was inexpensive, and seems like a good way to start down this road. This should be fun. My son has been watching Cletus and Reidus shows on YouTube and is determined to fix his car.
I spent $30 one of these to get him off on the right foot. The one on our car is cracked.
I hope you all had a nice weekend.

Awesome! If you ever feel the need for a tool cart, these actually ant bad. My bro in law has one, and so do I. Sadly mine is still inits box because I decided to leave it there until I get my own garage when we buy a house. https://t.harborfreight.com/tool-storage/tool-carts/five-drawer-service-cart-95272.html
For 180 bucks new you really can’t beat the utility.
I just realized that IS a cart.

Casters are in the wrong spot unless you only want it to roll side to side. Easy fix and nice score.

I just grabbed one of these ($200 on sale, normally $300-$350) and it has already been life-changing. I used to have tools ALL over the garage, in random bins and toolboxes. Now it’s all together AND I have a workspace...which is covered with random crap unrelated to any projects. Because #wifeandkids
Not nearly as great a deal as what you found, but I just wanted to give a shout-out to tool benches in general.

I’m currently in the same predicament. My tool box overfloweth and my other box is a black hole where tools go in but don’t come out. I’m really starting to like this beauty but I might settle for its little brother.

Alas, hand tools do not put themselves away...
