Esther and I have had good luck tag sale-ing this weekend. One find from yesterday was a big ol' heavy duty metal toolbox. For the last year or so I've been keeping my bike tools in a sparkly blue plastic Lisa Frank-style makeup chest, complete with a butterfly on the box's latch, and a fold-out mirror inside. That box was itself a great thrift, a couple bucks at the Salvation Army, and it was actually pretty practical—a lot more practical than the system it replaced: a series of disordered bins and boxes.
But the blue box began overflowing with tools about as soon as I started using it. But real toolboxes are expensive! Enter the Husky. I paid $25 for the box with good handful of tools already in it. This thing is sturdy, big, and heavy as hell. Plenty of room for my present selection of bike tools, and room for future tools.
The blue Lisa Frank box can now either be relegated to storage of household tools or it can go back to the Salvation Army and become a little girl's makeup box again, like it was made for originally.
