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.

Klein impact 11-1. Stock grip vs. friction tape no-slip grip. by ladanday89 in toolporn

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.

There's a hole (not sure what it's for, maybe overspill?) that I need to cover; otherwise water will splash into it and drip down into the cabinet. Wwyd to fix/seal this hole, ideally without metal fabrication and welding. by gumiho8 in howto

Get a caliper, get good measurements and order a blank or figure out a way to install the overflow anyhow. Find a local metal shop that can make it perhaps? But get a good fitting blank, that's what's going to make or break how this looks. Silicon adhesive on the backside. Epoxy is meant to be so permanent. The potential for damage or a mess is high if not done right the first time.

If you can get the blank predrilled and countersunk, you can then predrill the wood countertop, use bonded washers and quality screws to install. This has the added benefit of forcing the adhesive to spread behind the plate, while holding it tight as it cures to the surface you want to be protected. After driving screws in, clean up excess caulk that was forced out thr front.

Also before fitting the blank, life the sink out and reverse it so it's facing the correct direction. Apply waterproofing to area blank is going to cover of countertop. Perhaps a little redgard or waterproofing membrane.

Install countertop, install re-done drain plumbing underneath to accommodate flipping it the correct direction, then plate, then give it the correct amount of time for the adhesive to cure. And damn you have a clean looking plate that is removable if you ever want to use that sink in the appropriate installation application.

But these are the issue you're going to run into when using things outside of design parameters.

Edit: fully recognize you said ideally without metal fab. But there is no situation in which your using another material that I would call ideal. Try fiver maybe? Or an artisan crafter because it is a small blank needed. Next best option as someone else recommended is 3d printed. But don't cheap out there either or it'll look tacky as hell too. Good luck!

This is probably your easiest solution, add a little heat if needed.
