    Kat- I got this set, but to win them I ended up at $70+ IIRC.

    Also got their awesome 5 position ratcheting screwdriver with rubberized handle, I use it a lot. I got the red trim....apparently not available in pink...

    But, alas, I had to settle for good ole' Harbor Freight....got this roller cart/chest last month, you know how they always have some killer sales and coupons on top of that, so it was uber good deal, and surprisingly good quality.....drawers are really smooth. But I've GOT TO figure out how to disable the locking mechanism so I don't have to raise the lid for the drawers to open. I'm thinking of taping down those pegs...or cutting them off ..... but I'm still "planning" on getting that 3 drawer pink one!

    Sorry to come along and encroach on your nickname, Sue/Kat...I don't mind being called "Meow" though. Really you can call me just about anything and I'll probably respond to it.

    Those pink screwdrivers are super cute, and reasonably priced...considering they're snap-on. I may have to pick up a set sometime later (saving up for new tires at the moment). That green ratcheting screwdriver is exactly the one I have, color and all...luckily it was inside my house when the thieves got the rest of my tools. It's fabulous, and I too use it constantly. Though I also used to have a stubby ratcheting screwdriver just like it...I miss that one a lot.

    Not a bad looking rolling cart/box, but opening the top to open drawers would really get old...I feel your pain there. I'm thinking pink boxes would be the perfect solution to that problem

    Well, we tried anyway...lol. Pretty sure there are only a handful of people who remember that my handle here was once "SunfireKat"; however, those who know me from Moab know "real life" me, and thus know me to be Kat. I feel sorry for y'all though, having to tolerate every obnoxious bit of me for that full week. Especially Mark, lol.

    ...but really, just call me Meow. It'll alleviate some confusion.

    Tom4Bren has no response to that......

    Actually I think most carts with a lid have this same locking mechanism.......now where's that metal cutting wheel for my Dremel?....those posts have to go! (BTW....is it going to screw anything up if I cut them off?) This chest was around $119 out the door...the comparable pink box one was almost $500 ...even I have limits...well, sometimes...

    Ah, a definite advantage to living on a dirt road, in the middle of nowhere, a dirt road that doesn't go anywhere/connect to anything really, and no street going past the house.....oh, and 4 dogs, 2 of which are really YAPPY ones that bark if a twig falls outside......just ask Dub about "Teddy", aka "Corndog killer".....my killer Pomeranian...all 8 lbs...
    Heck we had to put down a ton of gravel (well actually, several tons ) in the front area just so we didn't have a mud pit when it rains. We're surrounded by dirt and hills. Yup, we gave up suburbia!

    Billy, how'd you know I put a Beretta sticker on my tool chest already?? (Maybe I should put a picture of Corndog the killer on it too?)















    I live there, in the white color house
