      Also what light hangs under the side drill holder and how did you mount it and what did you use to install a button and power.
      Lastly do you have any ideas on how I can remove the casters and install permanent leveling legs on it for my preferred setup

      Would you like a use case philosophy or Just to see what I got in there? I'm selective as to which tools I carry in each, just like the box. There is a reason behind each, but that reason is dictated by the environment (and always individual preference) that I work in so some would change if I moved to a different plant. So I can try and explain why I think they are important, or just give a tour, or both, your call.

      @@slvrbk trust me it wears off when you’re making payments. I was “star struck” by the box when I saw it on the truck and when the guy said “just 50/wk” I went full retard and bought it.
      Even though I just bashed the box and my self I will say it’s a NICE box. But listen I would of gladly kept my husky box but I out grew it in terms of physical space inside it and the weight limit of the box. Those things considered I really really really did enjoy my husky box and hutch it was a good first box and I still miss it. It’s just the metal was too thin and over all I think the base of it is thin too. But then again that box was never meant to be a “professional box” it’s more of something for a diy’er with a lot of tools at home.
      If that husky was bigger and thicker metal I would of kept it. So no hate on husky from my personal experience with their tool box.

    Sweet sweet set up. Super jealous. Im a commercial plumber and i work in commercial and industrial settings. Mostly massive facilities. I have to use a plastic cart because even though i have a lift gate on my van something like that is to heavy and big for me to maneuver. I do need to change the heavy duty casters on my cart for some pneumatic tires. I bet that cart you got would be super buttery if you put pneumatic tires on it but i guess it wouldn't allow you to clear that cabinet you store under.

    • @slvrbk
      @slvrbk  9 місяців тому

      No, actually I had it shipped from home Depot to the plant that I worked at and I built it out from there. So my mobility I was speaking of was on a production floor in between equipment. But if I were needing to move it, I would just pick it up with a forklift and strap it to a flatbed trailer and tell you where I needed it. I guess in practice though I just take things out of it and throw it in a Milwaukee pack out and throw in the back of the truck.

    apologies if my questions are simple- i'm curious about your worklight. 1- do you know where it is from and what called etc? 2- is there a kit that wired it (and your stereo etc) up to an M18 battery connector (plus the switch)? or did you just build it yourself cause you are handy with electric? i'm confident i could add the switch after, just not sure how to make something to hold the M18 battery like those 3d printed holders that just do storage, but these have power. i would ideally want a Dewalt one because i have way more Dewalt 20v batteries than Milwaukee 18v batteries. but yeah, gotta find something like that. anyway, love the adjustable top. i was about to order another tool chest and i love the ability to adjust the height and have the extra storage place for sockets and light the area too (got a link for those rechargeable motion lights?). anyway, thanks for showing off your set up! gave me some ideas to make my new set up easier. thanks :)

    • @slvrbk
      @slvrbk  Рік тому +1

      Here is a Link to My amazon List of things I've used or considered using, it includes the Dewalt Battery Base adapter you were asking about. As far as the electrical, I buy the components because it's cheaper than building each, some things I can't Fab myself either. I do all the wiring, it's a skill I've picked up over the years. The stereo doesn't have an On/Off switch, I use the remote so when batteries are slapped on there is constant power to the unit. There is a Low voltage cut-off switch that will disconnect power when the Batteries drop below 16.5Vdc to protect the batteries. I will be adding one of those to the Light, it doesn't have one currently as I didn't have it on hand. For the light I used a Base adapter, 5amp maintained pushbutton For on and Off switch. Light was rated at 32watt 9-30Vdc with 18V Battery Current draw should be 1.78 amps. Good Luck! Post a Link or a Picture of yours when you are done!

      @@slvrbk thanks so much! I'm gonna save up for the workbench and some of this stuff this summer after I set up my new shop. It needs a lot of work so it will probably be awhile... But the light might be helpful in the process... All the lights that run on tool batteries are either not very bright for very long or pretty expensive. I could make 2-4 bright lights for probably $100-150 with this idea! I can run stuff to itself and a switch... I am assuming the voltage cut off would be similar to running a switch but mostly I just need the parts in front of me to see. I am better with things in my hands for some reason. I have a developmental disability so complex steps can sometimes be overwhelming until I can touch/do it. And it has worked okay so far. And I have cool folks around to help etc and UA-cam has been a huge game changer for information that is shown and not just read from a book. But yeah I will def circle back and ask for help or show you how it went! Thanks 🙏

    • @slvrbk
      @slvrbk  Рік тому +1

      The tool companies have a hard Job when it comes to making their lights. They have to sell to the public that doesn't always understand how things work. A typical customer for a work light wants quality (or value for the money), Long runtimes, Fast recharge times and Brightness. Some people think you can have it all but in reality it's a balance of each trait to find the sweetspot. For this specific example my Light is rated at 32watts and I run it off of a 18v 5 amp hour Battery. I apologize if you already know this but I'm just trying to help out, i can't assume what you do or do not know but battery ratings can be confusing, so 5 amp hour rating means I can pull 5 amps for 1 hour at 18 volts. So really to see how much power you have you want to determine the Watt hours which is how many watts a battery can produce for 1 hour from full to dead. To find this you want to multiply the voltage by the amp hour rating in this case 18x5= 90watt hours, so by the math my 32 watt light ( 90 divided by 32) would run for 2.8 hours. in comparison I have Milwaukee M12 Rover Light that will Run 700 lumens on a 12v 4amp hour Battery (48watt hours) for 8 hours, and it's great I use it alot for automotive. In Real world use I find myself reaching and repositioning often when using it so I wanted something I can pull up with and light up the world. However if it was on a shelf next to the Milwaukee, an average DIYer would most likely choose the higher runtime option. Anyway, it's hard from a marketing standpoint. But yes you will be able to Build for a lot cheaper, I do recommend the Low voltage cut-off though, if you draw your Battery voltage too low it will not charge when placed on a charger for safety reasons. I haven't found an official voltage number but I like 16.5 and I feel like that is conservative. So the low voltage cut off is a switch, but not a control switch for on and off. Once the battery is in place as long as your battery is above the setpoint (user adjustable) it will supply power to whatever is in place until the voltage drops below the threshold. You would still want an On/Off button, mostly for a clean build to be proud off, you could get by without it by just pulling the Battery off. Also I totally understand the Hands on approach, I'm a big reader but there are things (usually new concepts) that you really just need in front of your face. Thats impressive taking on projects like this with a disability, that's awesome and inspiring! Just practice good electrical safety above all else.

      Yea, no carbs to rebuild here. I could lower it if I needed to use it and I don't sit, but no I wouldn't want carb cleaner that close to my face. Any type of solvent cleaning in this setting is done in a special solvent catch tank. I do solder on occasion; I use the flexible magnetic alligator clips and the Milwaukee top off for the power source. Works fine for me, but I don't do it day in and day out so someone that does may have stronger preferences. I just measured it, my normal table top height is 45 inches, this is an inch or 2 below my elbows, allows me to stand with back straight and arms bent like you were saying. Thanks for the comment.
