Hello all,
Sams has a 41" stainless steel tool chest on casters (I believe) made by SteelTek. My Sams has it for $636. It seems pretty well built. Has anybody purchased one of these who could give a review?
Thanks, Joel
No review but I have looking at that tool box for year now. At the web site I found that there are 2 styles available. One style had full width drawers on the bottom box and the other style had 2 columns of drawers in the bottom box. The stainless steel should last for ever but will be heavier than the standard steel that most boxes are from. The price is a steal IMHO the closest match would be the Husky tool boxes at HD that are usually $999.
I bought one... The drawer above the bottom three drawers drags a little, but that's the only negative. Have a friend (or chainfall) to set the top onto the base! I mounted a piece of 3/4 plywood onto the two sections on the back and with hooks, trays and custom hangers have many of the more commonly used wood working tools mounted there. All my friends (both of 'em ;>) love the box, and I condensed two Craftsman boxes into it. Tom

I'm have a difficult time finding the correct bolt/thread to screw into the casters mounting holes.. the bolts on the side for the handles are m8 1.25 but they are different for the casters. Tried m8 1.0 and m7 1.0. if anyone can pull a bolt and size it. I would appreciate it.

3/4" (a little longer than original). I determined bolt size by taking an old one to Lowe's and used their sizing thing. I stripped heads on some of old button head screws and determined it was cheaper to buy a bag of 25 on Amazon rather than buy an alternative screw at Lowe's, since they didn't have the button head screws that size. I just replaced all of them. I figured longer was better anyway. New screws worked perfectly. While I had everything unloaded, I completely cleaned and waxed chest. Now looks as good as new.HomeOwnersHub website is not affiliated with any of the manufacturers or service providers discussed here.
