New tool cart!

Well, work is going pretty good.

They bought me a low priced Impact gun. More for installing wheels. It has the long output shaft on it, which makes it suck for most of my work. But, they bought it for me, and I didn't have to pay for it. SO I am not complaining really. I will get use out of it. I was shocked for them to buy it for me, but they think I am worth it.

For those of you reading that are not aware, this is a new job for me. I am not a mechanic at Desert Rat Truck Center in Tempe AZ.

So they like me enough to invest in me a little. Plus, it makes me faster which really earns them more money.

But I have an account with the Cornwell, Matco, and Snap-on guys.

The Cornwell guy got a used tool cart for $300 that I bought off of him. It's a 7 week plan on payments.
Normal price on these box's are $600+. Not bad for a cart with only a couple of scratches in it. I am happy. He told me, that it was yellow. Like he thought it would deter me. Laughing

Not exactly sure how he ended up with a Matco box, but I like the handles and casters better than the Cornwell cart. And it holds a bunch of tools. And it's more mobile than a large box. Which is great for this job where, I am moving around a lot. We do not have specific bays.

Well, here it is.

Makes me happy. I feel like I am going somewhere at least in my tool hording.

Take note of the small Craftsman box in the background. That is what I am moving up from. Although I did not fit all of my tools in that box. But I have a ton of room to fill on my new cart. Cool

LMAO!

I went with Matco because the price was right. I will be doing that. Playing all three getting the good prices for each.

I will end up with a full set of ratchet wrenches from Snap-on, and probably most hand tools from them.
But stuff like mallets, hammers, pry bars, I will end up between Matco, and Cornwell.
