Yes I'm bored, how many of us work on our own cars? No matter how big or small let's see em...



I load this one up with the tools I need for the job to take out to the car...

Only picture I have of my car toolbox:


The rest of the garage is full of woodworking tools where I generally just turn expensive wood into sawdust as a hobby.

Some nice kit there Mr Buzz smile

I should add to my list a tool cabinet like you have. Trouble is, I need them to be higher than normal.

I could make my own frame out of uni-strut though.

What is a good budget make?

Strongman tools sell them, about £1500. they will lift 3000kg so they will easily lift a 7 series BMW... really useful bit of kit!
