WestcoaST, your def my kinda slut. I only recently found that I like tools carts for at home use. I borrowed a friends 3 bay garage that has almost nothing but carts, and found that stacking them around the car is better than walking to-from the tool box 1,000 times. My big box at work is always 4-5 feet from where I'm working on something
I actually use the 1 1/4" ratcheting wrench to adjust chain anchors on one of the model fork lifts I service. Its in a spot where I can't get an impact.
I work on DC electric powered heavy equipment for the biggest grocery retailer in Florida
Think.... 12,000 lbs Tesla forklifts and 3800 lbs tesla pallet jacks, lol. I pretty use that job to pay for my ex wife to have the latest shoes, purses, fashions, while I work at a custom 4x4 shop and build turbo's to keep me in the Wendy's/McDonalds food budget I'm accustom to, lol.
My main job does afford me 24 hour access too... 5 different mig welders, 4 different tig welders, ironman metal shear, cold cut saws, cold cut band saws, drill presses, lathes, jet upright mill, 7 sets of torches, and just about any other fab tool a gear head could want. We have 5 different shops all with similar and different tooling. My shop happens to be 65 degrees year round, so... I do all my port work here, but sometimes I have to drive to a different shop to use something like the Jet mill because we only have 1 of those.
Sometimes a little too close, lol.
