Dangers of trolley tool boxes

[Tyvokka]

Silly me today, a bit of an unco day really, bumbling and stumbling into things!

Still pissed off the fact that I paid $20 into a parking meter for a $6 charge and didn't get my change back! I spoke to boss lady there and she said tough turtles, the machine does not give out change yet accept $5/$10/$20 notes for a maximum fee of $6. Go figure!!

Anyway, I pulled the trolley out to the driveway which I hadn't realised had a slight incline. A couple of drawers out and then ........ BOOOOOM!!! CRASH,!

There they were, hundreds and hundreds of little bits and bobs everywhere! PHAAAAARK!!!

So take care when handling your trolley tool box. They're skinny and have a very high centre of gravity and topples quite easily. Keep the heavy stuff lower down and don't over load!! Ask me now I know!!?

I just threw all the tools back in, no time to sort them out now and had to figure out a way to put the top tool box ( >80kgs) back on top without taking all the tools out and back in again.

Hey, the hitch lift came in handy. Worked a treat!

This Bahco set has been once emptied in long wet grass, and once all over my garage floor.




If it's not latched, you grab the handle, walk off...


My other socket sets have more latch fail safe designs.

Yep, too right! I have done that too in the past.

There was nothing worse than having your tool box fly open in rough seas and watch everything disappear into the bilge.
