Wheely Tool carrier

[Stormin Mormon]

I got one of these from HF:

it a couple times, to transport tools from my van to a work location. Worked nicely. I really liked it. Much easier than carrying a tool box, materials, cordless drill, etc.

But.... yesterday I piled some tools in, and the bag dragged on the ground. Seems that the rigid floor of the bag had broken, and the bag was now limp and dragging, instead of rigid and rolling on the (rather tiny) wheels.

I know it's impossible to get good, and cheap, both. But what is a reasonably priced way to move tools from the van into a store? Something on wheels, with a handle I can use to pull the tools along.

A little red wagon.

It happens with age :-)

If nothing else works, I may try that. My service van is red, much the same color as Radio Flyer wagons. Could be the answer.

Yes, it goes along with my grey hair, bifocals, missing teeth, and got to pee every hour.

I designed a whole system when I had my work truck. It got rear-ended, so I took the box off. I made a flatbed, I beam supports, overhead rack to work on top for carports, and an I beam for loading and unloading a work cart.

On that work cart was a 16hp Lincoln welder, and on top of that a expanded metal tray, and some hangers for cords, etc. I had a Dayton lift with Dayton I beam dolly.

We'd roll up, unstrap, take the rolling cart off, toss clamps, drills, grinder, etc, in the tray, throw on a cord, and take off to an interior pool to do some fence or gate repair. I had it in an elevator many many times.

Time is money, and when you are hassling with your tools, you ain't working.

So, tell me, Mormie, how did that cheap bag work out? Got what you paid for, eh?

Could you put in your own beefed up floor... like maybe from a piece of

3/8" plywood or some such?

I'm going to check on that, Monday. Might be able to. Other than the flimsy floor, the rest of the bag is in fairly good shape.

Erik wrote in news: [e-mail]:

Heh,a "tool user" who would rather throw away his "broke" tool bag than improve it with a stronger floorboard. Kinda ironic.

a 1/4" plywood thickness would probably suffice. You can get a small piece from a craft or hobby store.

Maybe with a little modification. >

This maybe:

A bagage cart and a travel case - or a bucket.
