I wanted to put together a quick follow-up video about my Harbor Freight 5 Drawer Tool Cart that goes over how I'm organizing all of the tools in my setup! I love a clean tool setup, and it seems this is a pretty popular item from Harbor Freight so I'm sure there's people out there looking for a cool way to organize their tools in their box! This is definitely a more budget-oriented setup, so it's perfect for the weekend wrenched or anyone on a budget!

I'm a full time mechanic and my tool box looks like this! Love the organization man!

@Addimotive Год назад

Thanks Mason, I appreciate it!

Thanks for the tour! I’m just getting started with tools and am not a mechanic just a home owner weekend fixit guy, so I’ve picked up some of the Quinn line and find them to be great so far. I love the 5 drawer cart for $200 I think it’s an awesome product. Harbor Freight is great for the weekend warrior and hobbyist.

@WVCBUS08 2 года назад

Quinn is made by one of the big boys, can’t go wrong with that or the Doyle line at HF.

@theblacknothing 4 месяца назад

I know this is two years later but. It reality unless you're a diesel or aircraft mechanic all you should need is the 5-drawer cart the 36" 6-drawer cart and a work bench. it's amazing how much those two boxes can actually hold

@rkgrkg1384 3 года назад

Well done sir! You’ve made me rethink my tool cart purchase. I just preordered a bigger US General tool cart set up from Harbor Freight. I’m going back to cancel that preorder and get the one you have and set it up the same way. You’re garage looks spectacular.

@johnfoster5489 2 года назад

That’s a nice set up. I personally changed my tool boxes into plumbing, electrical, mechanical, and wood working boxes. Had so many tools it really needed the organization.

@Addimotive 2 года назад

Thanks! That sounds like a cool way to organize things! I have a “stationary” tool set in this box and then an “on the go” go bag tool set for road-trips and things like that.

@MarzNet256 2 года назад

Cool. I use one dollar entry floor mats from the dollar store to make drawer liners. They work great. I have a ten drawer craftsman top box (c. 1980) that I got for $40 at estate sale. I collect and restore vintage hand tools so my box is a mix of old and new.

@Mr.Thermistor7228 3 года назад

God that craftsman chain wrench brings back terrible memories from the army lol I've torn through many oil filters and have the oil dump all over me with that damn thing lol

@JJJobson 10 месяцев назад

The Pittsburgh 1/2” deep impact sockets can handle every day pounding. Those things are massive and heavy. Lots of full time techs using harbor freight tools now. The ICON wrenches are Top notch as well

@illbetherejk3212 6 месяцев назад

Harbor freight still has a TON of absolute junk. The basic Pittsburg wrenches are case in point. However, Icon? Quite good. They have come a long ways, and are actually worth a look.

@Mr.Thermistor7228 6 месяцев назад

ehhh i agree and disagree with you, yes they arent the best quality but they actually arent thattttt bad but also that is the whole point of them existing in the first place, everyone knows they arent the best but they sure are the cheapest and will get the job done and where harbor freight comes inn and makes it even more valuable is with the lifetime warranty. it breaks? get a new one no questions asked. the value of that is superior to the tools themselvess@@illbetherejk3212

Drill a hole in those socket organizers and put a scre win the middle to hold them down in the middle.

Was going to say exactly this. Just also countersink the head so it doesn't catch any socket clips above.

@ryankoehler3170 3 года назад

Looks really good actually. Nice budget box. Has pretty much everything ys need.

@Peccs91 2 года назад

Highly recommend adding the fold out shelf, especially if you ever move the box around the shop. I have my 5 drawer cart set up with detailing stuff and tools so I will roll it around our shop which I have found the shelf to be very handy to have. As I get more tools i will probably pick up a smaller cart for my detailing stuff.

@Addimotive 2 года назад

Yea I'm looking at getting that shelf, seems like a great piece to setup to give you an extra platform for a mini work space while in the middle of a job.

@capnrob97 2 года назад

Nice, I have the 4 drawer cart. One upgrade I would suggest tool wise, replace the adjustable wrenches with Carlyle brand ones from NAPA. Very little wobble in the adjustable jaw and very precise adjustments. I never realized how good an adjustable wrench could be.

@Addimotive 2 года назад

I was just thinking the other day, I need better adjustable wrenches that don’t have so much play! Glad I found your comment!

I just switched from those blue socket organizers to the labeled ones with the poles sticking up. Although they take up more room in the box they make a big difference in quality and feel.

Great review! I'm building a house and a 30' X 40' shop on my property and I am considering the cart for the garage connected to the house. The shop will have a 72" rollaway and 56" chest with most of my tools, but to hold some basic tools, I think this cart will work just fine.

@Addimotive Год назад

Thanks! This cart is a perfect size for an average 2 car garage in my opinion. Best of luck with your house build!!

@hangdogdaddy38 3 года назад

Just got my 5 drawer yesterday. I've had the roller chest twice before. They have come a long way. Very nice quality and I'm very happy with mine. Their new ICON series is expensive for Harbor Freight but I looked at them yesterday and they are super nice for the price. Also I notice you're missing your corner support brackets in the corners?

@exexpat11 3 года назад

Icon might be more expensive than Pittsburgh however they are 1/3 the price of Tool Truck tools.

@santiagoelias6172 2 года назад

..dude the magnet on the lid is a great idea just what I was looking for..sure like the socket tray with those racks bolted in...

@Addimotive 2 года назад

Hey glad I could help! Yea the magnetic strips have been so nice to have when I just need to grab a wrench really quick then throw it back on when I’m done. The socket rails definitely made good use of the top compartment when you open the lid.

@just_your_localguard9612 3 месяца назад

@jeffreydevoti7000 2 года назад

A handy "tool" I made, took a automotive voltmeter in a housing and added alligator clips. The alligator clips have quick plug and I can swap it out for cigarette lighter adapter. Had a 91 Escort with a switched cigarette lighter, so just left it plugged in, start reading when engine runs. One day showing low voltage and a wire had burned in two. Saved my Bacon.

@Addimotive 2 года назад

That sounds awesome! Thanks for the comment Jeffrey!

@SamuraiAtlas 3 года назад

For the socket organizers you should try adding a strip of magnetic tape on it I found it to work great just get a strong magnetic tape

@darrylschmidt704 2 года назад

Hi. You provided some good ideas. Just a thought on the middle of the socket rails lifting up. You may want to try silicone or since they are on a board, run a wire around the center through the board or use a screw with a washer. Good luck with it.

@Addimotive 2 года назад

Thanks Darryl, I appreciate your input! Yea at some point in the future here I’ll either be using a countersunk screw or some type of adhesive to hold the rails down

@kenpachecojr 2 года назад

@TDNomad 3 года назад

Do you have any problems with rotating handle end on the Husky picks? Like when using them do you wish they’d be a fixed end cause for leverage or overall general use/handling.

@rodneywager2142 3 года назад

Great set up, on the flex on the rail can you drill for a short 1/8 pop rivet so it doesn't go through the wood but swells and grabs it

@Addimotive 3 года назад

Awesome idea, thanks Rodney!

@willb3018 2 года назад

I have that cart. I would recommend that folding side shelf. Works out great for me. But I recognize depending on how you sue the cart it may not work as well.

@Addimotive 2 года назад

Yea I may end up getting one soon, although my car mostly stays put so it would take up a little more space against my 3D printing cabinet. Floor space in my garage is getting tighter and tighter with all of my tools and projects haha.

@P46345 2 года назад

I tried the HF wrench holders and I hated them, I saw a guy in Canada using the magnetic strips like on you lid for his screwdrivers so I tried that for my wrenches in my drawers on my US General 44" box. I only use one, the weight of the tools holds it down and I use the same set up for my screwdrivers, pliers, ratchets, extensions, etc.

@maddpepe313 9 месяцев назад

I have some old harbor freight tools I bought when I first started wrenching that refuse to die lol if it gets the job done then that's all that matters! Nice box man!

@Addimotive 9 месяцев назад

Same! Some tools from them are absolutely great and last forever while others (mostly the cheap power tools) barely last a weekend project haha. Thanks, I appreciate it!

@RipRoaringGarage 2 года назад

Im curious. Did you look for used boxes? Like an old SnapOn, Mac, Matco, Cornwell etc. I recently upped my box from a Mac Christmas tree setup (its old, as in 50th anniversary edition old lol) to a Matco twin bay with hutch. It cost me lest than any box on the market, barring the single bay ones. It was a no brainer for me, since the quality is excellent, and after a good cleaning and repacking of the drawer slide bearings, it feels like new. I could argue that the older ones are better than even the tooltruck brand ones today.

@joejackson73 Год назад

Cool looking tool cabinet.

@Addimotive 11 месяцев назад

@codeblue8109 3 года назад

You can use the magnetic strips for you socket also to eliminate that flex in the middle.

@dchall8 3 года назад

That's what I was going to say. Use mag strips instead of all the finicky/sticky socket holders.

@savoeunroeun9461 3 года назад

@Hnat Automotive Can you make room in the center of your socket rail? And drill in a screw. This should help with the flexing.

@Addimotive 3 года назад

Yea I've definitely thought of doing that. The trick is getting a small enough screw that is countersunk into the slider rail so the socket sliders can move over it still.

@jasonmckeaigg9143 3 года назад

Spray adhesive under the original drawer mats works perfect. Put it in the drawer, lift up half, spray, lay down, do the other half, lay down. Good to go

@ryanolson4284 23 дня назад

Magnetic socket holders are awesome. And spray adhesive to keep the black rubber liner from moving

@Addimotive 23 часа назад

Magnetic tool holders are great. I have thought of using spray adhesive, but not sure if I want to deal with the mess if I ever want to change up the liners haha

@fixed115 7 месяцев назад

Bought all my original tools from harbor freight and have been slowly replacing things as they’ve broken. Definitely the way to go if you can’t afford nice tools to begin with.

@Addimotive 6 месяцев назад

Yea HF is hard to beat especially if you’re a weekend warrior / DIYer. Some of their power tools could be better, but I’ve had great success with all of their hand tools (minus the cheap torque wrenches, which is to be expected I guess haha)

@johnsthinking844 2 года назад

You could use a counter sink drywall drill bit in the middle to make a nice flush screw hole on those socket organizers. Keep it from flexing.

Nice job on the tool cart setup on that note about a clean and organized tool box and not doing enough work is BS a organized person can do twice the work inthe same amount of time s unorganized person plus having clean tools helps the overall quality of your work my Dad used to put every tool we used during.a project into a specific pan and at the end of every work day every tool got degreased dried and put away in its proper storage place for the next work day I inherited his wrenches and sockets he bought in the late 1950s and they all look and perform like new ones despite being nearly 60 years old !BTW they are SKWayne and some SnapOn for nostalgia reasons thos are my favorite tools to use

Silicone or epoxy dots on the bottom of the socket strips will keep it held in place

@rebeccadakin3536 2 года назад

Opinions wanted please. Is it better to store tool sets in the tool cases and just lay the whole case in the tool cart or get rid of the tool set cases and put everything in the cart by type like this gentleman does. I'm a home owner who is not naturally handy. The garage is small and so projects will largely be performed inside the house. For this reason I'm thinking the cases would be useful to transport toolsets into the house. I have a fair amount of tools (a lot of them random). Thanks!

@Addimotive 2 года назад

Rebecca, it's really up to you! If I were in your shoes I would get some all-in-one tool sets/kits that are easy to pack up and move wherever your project is. In this case for me, most of my projects I use the tools for in this chest are car projects in the garage so it makes sense to have it all right there. An all-in-one kit like this one along with a tool bag for larger tools (like hammers, mallets, saws, etc.) might serve you well for stuff around the house that's easy to put away when you're done with limited space: www.dewalt.com/product-repository/products-dewalt/2017/10/11/12/08/dwmt81522
