Tool Box
I have a confession to make - I love drawers. I love race haulers that have rows of cabinets with lots of shallow drawers. When I remodeled my house, I discovered Blum self-closing drawer slides. Now, every single drawer I have in my entire house has these. They are awesome!
So, naturally, I wanted to emulate that race hauler look with a sleek multi-drawer cabinet. TPD offers a nice enough tool box, but since I was planning to pimp-out this trailer, it just wouldn't do. I started searching for something that would make me happy. My basic criteria were:
-high quality
-american made
-wider than the stock TPD offering
-good looking
I searched high and low to find deals on Lista & Stanley-Vidmar cabinets, both new & used. I looked at Moduline and other all-aluminum cabinets. I finally decided upon one from Kennedy. They make a "hybrid modular system" cabinet that ticked all the boxes on my wish list. And it was a lot cheaper than the big brands. It's available in a nice blue color with clear anodized aluminum handles, so it will really stand out in an all-white interior of the trailer. This cabinet is available as either a 5, 6 or 7 drawer. I chose the 6 drawer. The cabinet will be built into the work bench of my trailer.
