    Tool box help

    Ok, I've been looking all over and cant find anything, I need to find a rolling tool chest that will keep all my tools in a convienant easy to access manner of storing. Problem being most of my tools are in carrying cases, and I like to keep it that way so I can find stuff easier. So obviously the normal craftsman drawers arent big enough to fit. So does anyone know of a rolling tool chest thing, that has oversized drawers? Though not as big as a office filing cabinet or anything.

    As for the type of carry cases I own, things like this:

    Why not just leave the cases open inside the drawer? Either that or you could check with Matco, they have a ton of shit like that.

    looking for your garage or trailer? How about building 'custom' shelves in your trailer to hold your things?

    Re: Tool box help

    I have one of these which is great for going to the track and back with. Should be able to fit all the tools you need to work on your bike.
    Waterloo 3 Drawer Utility Cart - Tool Chests & Cabinets at Tool Boxes Direct

    I also have a 3 level craftsman at the shop which is nice as well. I can fit all my tools in it Its one of the quiet glides but I wish it were one of the ball bearings. I think its this one. Craftsman 17 Drawer, 26 in. Quiet Glide Combo - Red - Model H0246 at Sears.com

    It does the job but the waterloo draws are better quality. If you can buy the ball bearing draws.
