I think this is my favorite of these mods. The side locker is a nice addition, but my FAVORITE touch is the lock replacement 👍👍👍 I don't even have this cart, nor do I intend to get one. I just enjoy these videos. I saw one of these where the guy who did it put all of the same sized drawers together and I sort of thought you might do that.....
PSA: You can buy an extra two locking swivel caster from HF that are the ones you find from the cart originally. Call up their parts department and just ask for the swivel casters that come in the box originally and they can send em to you.
I'm here to tell you that your 4 caster mod may work in a small shop or service bay, but I had a box given to me here at work. It had 4 casters. My work area is the size of 2 football fields, on weekends I may be on the other end of the building, which by the way is 60 acres. The first time you push a 4 caster box full of tools 1000' you'll quickly learn that they suck!
A few dollars???? Try $200. These carts are less than $200 a piece. The full bank cart is retailing at $600. Not to mention the full bank cart is too high to use as a work table unless your 6'5" and up. I'm definitely doing this.
@@RoughRaiders13 those full banks are always on sale for $499.99. They are on sale for that price more than they aren't on sale. They also have several additional features that this custom built one does not have. I'm not saying anything against you. You do you bro, but it's just a lot of extra nonsense for no reason. You did a good job though 👍
@@victorhoyt4352you def don’t see those full bank service carts on sale for that sale (17% off) that often and if it is it’s 10-15%. Not sure what these “several additional features” are beside the fact that it’s too tall to use as a flat top unless you tower over everyone. For the price of the one 34” full bank service cart @$600 I have 2 carts stacked with a side cabinet putting me at 50” with 16 drawers…but keep telling yourself it’s nonsense and for no reason👍🏼
@@RoughRaiders13 You're thinking of the 4-drawer tech cart. The 5-drawer tool carts that he used are $280, sometimes $250 on sale, so you're spending a ton of time and maybe saving $100, and still have less overall usable storage space.
Is there any reason why you can't substitute properly sized firring strips for the magnetic bars at the bottom base? Oh, and thanks for this video, I'm short, too, and I definitely want the finished project to be the same height as the original cart.
Would it work to have all the narrow width drawers by each other (so everything matches and looks more like “factory”)? Just mount the center rail at the bottom right below the other, but would that still work when it comes to making everything lock? Also, in order to make the bottom section lock, you just cut off the 10mm difference off the top locking slides?
Nice build. And idk why shit comes with just two swivel casters. First thing I always mod on about everything. Idk why anyone would ever want/need two straight casters. I found some cool ones that have a little pin you can pull out and they swivel or in and they lock in the position. Even then I just always have em swivel lol
