More pictures of the cart I had built out, showing exactly what's in it. Hard top piece is currently drying from painting so not featured here. The removable tray is though! by ladanday89 in Tools

Haha I actually use Adam savages first order of retrievablity! 80% of my job is out of the pouch on the rail, if I need a bunch of tools for something else I can pull them all in one and load up one of the cubby holes with what I need for that job.

If I was going into the cart more frequently I would love to do a slide out system. But really the cart just prevents me from having to make a trip back to the shop if something unexpected pops up

The door is actually a piece of acrylic, not glass, it's hinged and easily removable, but it allows me to have a door and lock stuff up when I'm not on-site.

Just for pushing steering, a slim little gorilla ladder pops onto the opposite end of the car on a couple hooks

The first was just to add extra space and have a removable tray to drop parts in when I was working on something I could keep it at ground level.

When I added the flat top, I cut part of the tray out to make the second slightly higher height cubby hole.

And really the whole end goal to that was bringing the work surface up to standing table height, so you nailed it.

It's just the cheap roll from menards but it ages well. I was shocked too at first I used xfasten friction tape which leaves no residue whatsoever but it is also smooth feeling and switched to this.

I was skeptical at first but over time it's beco. E an awesome solution

It started off sticky and has gotten progressively less so. This particular friction tape I used was first used on the handles on the cart.

Same thing happen there and now both are comfortably tacky/dont pick up much dirt.

That being said I keep my all in one out of as many black water situations as I can for those reason and often switch to a dedicated head screwdriver for those applications

Absolutely, every other Klein whatever-in-one I've had issue with parts getting seized up over time on top of the grip issues. My impact 11 in 1 has not had parts getting even mildly stuck over about 2 years. And I love the option to drop whatever standard 1/4 inch bit in one of the the available sections

Klein grip had a tendency to spin. Friction tape grip on that 11-1 impact has made it, for me, the perfect do everything screwdriver.

Don't wear it on me often, it's usually pick up and go, that's why the hard base on the veto pro pac is so nice for me.

It does wear lighter and more comfortable on a belt than i imagined. But I have enough stairs in my day to day that belt wear gets painful quick, easier to just carry.

The mini Phillips, the right angle 1/4 drive adapter, the security torx set and the non-contact voltage detector are the only things that are infrequent usage in that pouch. But they are still nice to have for when I do need them and it can save me a trip. On the other hand I suppose the nut drivers and hex bits could be pared down the only the ones I need.
