Title: Free tool storge
Post by: hickory n Steel on February 16, 2022, 10:10:36 PM

Today my brothers friend gave me this cheap bottom box, a Stanley I guess according to the top box which my brother kept ( don't need or want it ).

It's pretty flimsy and low quality , I wouldn't have paid even $10 for it but for free I can use it in the man cave/ airgun and fishing reel workshop because it doesn't take up a ton of room

It's good for organizing light weight items -- not a gem, but a light duty user. The price was certainly right; congratulations!

Yep, what Ray said

And the way you are buying tools and your hobbies, you will have an ongoing need for storage  :))

Absolutely.

And light duty tools is the plan for sure, I don't really have any heavy stuff that don't already have a place.

Price was right. :great:
Never underestimate additional storage, even cheap, flimsy storage comes in handy at times.

I decided it was time to rearrange the " hobby room " I guess you'd call it that I finally cleaned out and set up a few months back since this toolbox and a storage rack among a few other things have made their way in there since.

My brother decided he no longer wanted the top box and I guess I changed my mind about wanting it because I just brought it home.
I guess it didnt take long ( just over a year ) for me to need more storage in the man cave hobby workshop, and I already brought out the old desk I inherited from my grandmother to use it's drawers for additional storage.
