I have been remodeling kitchens and have a need for a mobile cart to keep tools in and on. Until the countertops get there, there isn’t anyplace to set down tools. (And when the countertops do get there, I’m done.) I see a small enclosed base cabinet on wheels that has a tool rack and holsters for drills. Something I can lock up at the end of the day. Something that shows off our skills. Small enough to get between cab’s, maybe a small vise to hold work/panels?
Anybody out there using anything like this at the moment? Pics? Your 2 cents worth?

I've certainly seen this sort of thing at the plant where I used to work. Probably 20 different variations. Often they'd start with a restaurant busboys's cart, (or a similarly-designed industrial cart) then add shelves and doors and whatnot. But others were custom-built from casters up.

I have a small 4 wheel cart w/collapsible handle-that works. Anything bigger-I don't think would work in the kitchens I've put together. This holds the heavy stuff and things I need to be able to move, yet get to.
A folding 2 wheel to move cabs about is indispensible.
The festool vac-all the other systainer tools can stack on top and move around on wheels if necessary.
Temp plywood on cab bases hold alot of what I use and I set the base cabs first.
Any pics? Drawings/ What are your Pros and Cons of your particular cart?
Wang,
My 2 cents but sorry, no pics.
Tools in 5 gallon buckets organized by trade.
Tools and materials in milk crates on a 2-wheel dolly (goes up steps and stairs).
A (removed) door or temp ply on sawhorses or cabs. Clamps rather than a vice for holding work (but there is always a vice on the truck).
Saw table that a Makita table saw drops into. Rack (extensions) for the miter saw.
A rubbermaid cart with big casters/wheels.
A dolly for reels of wire.
A lockable job box (the only item on my list with any semblance of security).
Regards,
Jim
