I need to build a custom roll-around toolbox, similar to the ones sold by Snap-On tools, Mac, Sears, etc.
Where can I buy just the drawers? Is there a source for these online?
I seriously doubt someone sells just the drawers. Your best bet isGrainger, a company that sells just about everything farm related.
I’m too lazy to look myself. Have fun!
Wow, what a different perspective from different parts of the country. In the Detroit area, Grainger is for having just about everything industrial related.
Can’t imagine you’d have much luck buying just the drawers ala carte from anywhere unless you went to a metal fabricator and had them built.
Probably will be cheaper and faster to just buy a tool box on sale and pull out the drawers. Another benefit is you’ll get the other half of the bearing tracks.
What sort of roll-away are you trying to build that hasn’t already been done?
Yeah, and on this side of the country we call big snarky jerks “ete kefe.”
I work for an industrial tooling company.
Try these guys, Lista or Kennedy for information. I don’t think they sell direct to the public, you might have to try cash and carry with a local distributor.
I agree that you would be way better off to go to Sears and buy one and cannibialize it. You have no idea how much the professional boxes go for.
For an inexpensive tool box to cannibalize, try Harbor Freight. I’ve got this one and it’s reasonably sturdy. don’t even try to buy a used Kennedy off of eBay. They go for more than a new one, and don’t even have any tools in them.
