Papas got a bran new bag!

[Paul T Williams]

I have a rolling cart I found at Office Depot called a "Precise" 17" Jumbo 
Portable Cart.  It holds my tool case with plenty of room for hyop oilers, 
jar of teflon, cleaning stuff, an attached portfolio holder for receipt 
book, estimate forms, etc, AND it's collapsable to size of a small 
briefcase when it's just sitting in the shop.

Looks great, but what about fluid bottles? I like to carry a couple of 
hypo oilers with mystery fluids in them so I need a box that has a bottom 
that always stays horizontal. Does that back section always stay vertical 
so the bottom is always horizontal? Is there a place in there for some 
fluid containers?

>From the first day I entered this glorious business I knew my tool kit 
(some sort of computer case) would not work for long.  I upgraded to yet 
another computer case for a while, then a supply house tool case, then the 
$250 Gink, and for my last year a rolling tool bag with a few pockets and 
a tool roll.  I was never happy...  I have never liked the tool roll 
affair, it seems a little cumbersome, rolling it out on the customers 
floor, having kids stick little fingers in to snatch things and so on. 
After my last bag began to sag in the middle from all of the wait I put in 
it, I thought it was a new year and time for yet another tool kit 
adventure.  I thought about the Big House tool bag but decided against it. 
 I wanted to keep my freedom and my shoulder moving.  Did I mention I 
carry a lot of stuff?  So it seemed that something with wheels was still 
in order.  I looked at the options from the supply houses, Harbor Freight, 
Home Depot, Chicago Case Company and more...  One of the last places I 
checked was Sears and they were the people that had what I wanted.

It is the best option I have come up with for a tool kit.  It rolls, has 
plenty of room for everything I want to carry and things stay in place.  I 
am pretty sure that they only offer these online, but you can return it to 
the store if you don't like it.  It comes with 2 removable pallets that 
seem to hold everything a little better than my Gink pallet did.  The kit 
is covered with nylon but has a hard plastic liner that seems pretty 
rugged.  It has 4 zippered compartments with lots of pockets.  The back 
compartment has 3 bucket stile pockets with a removable pallet in front of 
them and 1 large pocket in front of the pallet.  The next compartment has 
a pallet with a smaller removable zippered bag.  The third compartment has 
lots of small open pockets and 4 larger zippered and or Velcro pockets, as 
well as a few large open pockets.  the front compartment has a water 
bottle holder and is useful for invoices.  So check it out!  The wheels 
and telescoping handle are nice!
