Ultimate Harbor Freight Tool Cart Modification / Hack E79

[@antonioreyes2382]

Never heard anyone on KZbin be humble enough to ask for a thumbs down and the information on how to improve. Not only will I thumbs up, you just got yourself a subscriber.... I enjoyed the video as well. Thanks

[@gregscherf9385]

The wrench board was probably one of the best ones I have seen yet. Good job

[@alleeum]

I don't even have a toolbox, and I still watched the whole thing. :)

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

alleeum lol, thank you!

[@indoorgrower4208]

Lol me too

[@AbePelay0]

alleeum Lol

[@Salinascustoms]

This is awesome! The plus was your boy working with you!! Expecting my child in July! Cheers!

[@motomule]

Awesome that you have your kiddo helping!!!

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Sometimes it makes the job a little harder but it’s been amazing seeing them grow their talent!

[@amneziaxeaster-gaming382]

Your kid is gonna be very talented by learning at this young age!

[@user-sb3wh3dd4v]

I like it! There are several useful ideas here, and the MAIN idea (using the slotted wood insert) is super versatile.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

thanks! This is one of those videos that I thought would REALLY take off but never really did.

[@I_am_the_big_dipper]

One of the best, if not the best video on modding the HF 5 drawer. Well done!

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Andy Harris thanks!

[@Noobtube79]

Great ideas! Thanks for the concept!!! Gonna paint mine to match.

[@sportstertaco]

That is pure genius! Simple yet extremely useful.

[@brianriggin4560]

The iPad holder for watching KZbin videos is very useful. How else do people fix their vehicles?

[@robee4039]

Awesome job! Looked like a ghost moving the lid in the background.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

It was a tiny human playing with it, lol

[@donger9394]

Absolute genius! Thank you for taking the time to do this

[@speedydozier9461]

This is easily the best idea I’ve seen for these carts. Great video, great ideas, and it was awesome to see your kid helping out!! Just followed the channel!

[@jimwilhelm4343]

Awesome. Simple. Easy-to-do. Functional.

[@silinusvers]

you freaken genius, lmao I dont know why i never thought of just cutting the wrench organizers in half like that to make them parallel, thank you

[@adamsuydam4122]

Thank you for sharing. You gave me a great idea for my tool box on my trunk. Im always digging through it looking for tools. You just don't know how much harder it is to find the tool in that thing than the job at hand. Not really sure how I will mount the sockets. Thinking about some designs I can 3d print with magnets inlaid. Thank you

[@moegreen5941]

I cannot understand, how you got dislikes! This was one of the better videos on how to make life better and no clickbait or chasing views. Editing was on point please keep up what your doing. I rewatched your video, and I figured out why I would dislike your video.... because your organization is something to be jealous of!!! I’m even more impressed the second time.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Moe Green thank you so much for the kind words. It’s rare on the interwebs!

[@moegreen5941]

SHAWИEE HILLS WORKSHOP I’m subscribing! We use these carts at my job and many thanks for this. Hopefully I can get my helper to wear ppe and turn out such clean work .

[@gregnorvell9730]

All the storage ideas were good but my favorite one was the wrenches. Awesome job!

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Greg Norvell the wrenches are my favorite too, that’s what I will be sticking with, but I wanted to show the diversity so people could adapt to what fits their needs. Thanks for watching!!

[@gregnorvell9730]

@@shaweehillsworkshop4226 Not a knock all the others at all. I just meant I guess that the wrenches is best suited for me.

[@SOPHIAFLYGIRL]

The possibilities are nearly endless. You could paint the board or wrap it with car wrap material. Could also use epoxy and make a cool design and create a nice backdrop. I saw a floor that someone had gone over a few thousand pennies and then epoxied over them, looked great.

[@joeroberts6956]

Going to combine the iPad with the wrench and add one for the phone. Put a rubber seal around the top of lid then when dealing with significant saw dust in air, simply cover the lid and electronics are good! Thanks for the ideas!!!!

[@anthonytrent3026]

I plan on getting one of those us general tool carts thanks for the great ideas 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Mr.Thermistor7228]

daaaaaaang awesome approach you took to this. i love the community behind this damn tool chest lol so many people sharing ideas and support

[@BillMacfarlane]

Awesome concept! I was thinking you could change out the configuration even more quickly if you mounted neodymium magnets to the corners and make the panel just a bit smaller so you don’t have to remove the struts.

[@jdwxly]

I just bought this tool box and now I know what to do next. Thanks!

[@michaelmullins4372]

Great video, don't know why anyone wouldn't!

[@henrysmifth536]

One of the best mods vids 💪🏽💪🏽👍👍👍👍

[@RevereOverland]

That's really cool. Now I need to buy a tool cart.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Revere Overland yes you do

[@Nathan-H]

so simple yet highly effective and 100% customisable, I love it thanks for sharing

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Family Prepper thanks for watching and taking the time to comment, it really helps and I appreciate it

[@westtennesseeprepper2552]

I'm going to use this for my truck tool box thanks for the idea

[@shadvan9494]

I love those Ernst gripper wrench organizers. I bought them for my tool box about 2 years ago. they are worth every penny. I like them so much I bought the screw driver organizer and Socket Boss organizers. the socket boss organizers are expensive, but I no longer break the plastic posts on the cheap harbor freight organizers. I am going to look at adapting this hack to my Husky tools cart and see how it works. thanks for the ideas.

[@crousetrodomis]

I've looked in the comments and I'm not really seeing what I'm trying to find so I'll ask. Roughly what size of TV can you fit in there? 24-in? 20-in? I'm just trying to gauge this because my son is actually looking toward that route.

[@matolittleelkwells5377]

Great video this is also a viable solution for the hutch

[@nomsolo9935]

How'd you secure the plastic wrench rails to the wood? Brad nailer, wood glue, both? Thanks for the great mod video.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

i just cut a grove in the wood and stuck it in from the back. It is completely passive . If i take the board off I can pull the wrench holders out from the plywood.

[@jefferystevens6233]

Good idea. I’m in the food industry so I’ll have to use stainless steel instead of wood but great idea.

[@deeeyewhy5949]

I would rather do some welding. I think the best hf tool Cart mod is bolting the side cabinet with drawers to the cart. Takes a little drilling and bolting and some grinding to get the top to close properly but it makes a nice cart.

[@lifeshard1686]

Time for part two? Impact wrench, driver, drill holder?

[@josefelix4152]

Neet idea! Unfortunately I work at a shop, a busy shop, and wood is not an option for me but I like the concept specially with the wrenches and the tv

[@larrybibbey9651]

I like your idea. It's a lot better than my crappy pegboard.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Larry Bibbey did you out pegboard on the entire life?

[@larrybibbey9651]

@@shaweehillsworkshop4226 yes and no. It's what I grew up with.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Larry Bibbey sorry, my comment got messed up by autocorrect. What I meant to ask is if you put pegboard on the entire lid.

[@larrybibbey9651]

@@shaweehillsworkshop4226 No, but I have pegboards on the side of my workbox on the legs and I keep knocking stuff off of them.

[@blakej4452]

I absolutely know what my next project will be. HONEY DO LIST BE DAMNED!!!!!! Thank you!

[@guyh.4553]

Dang dude! That was great mods! Been wanting to replace a cheap, flimsy cart that finally fell apart on me. Now you've inspired me! Almost need to get 5 of the dang carts just to have all of these options! Ha ha ha

[@es2709]

Well done, Sir. Very well done.

[@jorgeivanfontalpuentes4001]

like those hacks, nice that you teach the young boy to work, best regards

[@johnnygarza6470]

I like it. Great idea for my cart. Thanks bro. Keep up the good work.

[@johnvanfradenburgh8943]

Very creative and a nice an easy affordable useful mod.

[@larrykrise3609]

awsome.very neat.may buy one of these carts.will use your idea,s.thanks

[@robmazzitelli]

Love it! Especially the wrench setup

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Me too, it's what I use

[@iFixJunk]

I love things like this. You used dead space and it's not a permanent change to the cart that damaged it or invited rust. How well does that ply hold in place being held that way? Does it wobble noticeably? I didn't see any real play in it from here...

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Marv no play at all

[@angelvelastegui2679]

Excellent ideas good job 👍

[@landstormer4884]

Nice mods. Thanks for sharing.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Thanks for the kind words and for watching!

[@rubbermallet3873]

🤗 👍✔thats a nice hack with the playwood; i did mine (two carts) with an old comercial metal railing from a fridge and hf magnets ✌👌👍

[@OU812NVME]

Bro I added magnetic strips and I thought I was a genius but you made me look like a total idiot but I like your ideas they're totally awesome

[@jonathancrandall8991]

Very creative! Thanks for sharing!!

[@marksharp55]

How did you mount the wrench holders?

[@charlescoker7752]

Some are beefing up the bottom of the roll away tool boxes. The thin sheet metal , and the casters are weak. If you load them down wih tools.

[@henrysboy2]

Great project. Thank you.

[@michaelmincey2622]

I tried the link for the template and it gave me an error saying this web page is mo longer available

[@sharksshark6212]

That’s great, good idea and way to show the versatility!

[@oldcdawg1]

A Harbor Freight magnet bar would work also. Thanks for the idea, I am going to make one

[@andrewgreaves2687]

Best mods to a tool cart I’ve see! Great work

[@kpj54256]

Love the idea but the tv screen might be a bit much if you have tall sockets in your top drawer. don't want to damage the screen when it closes.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

Kenny Johnson definitely. I use my top for my sockets and could use the screen unless I was going to keep the lid up.

[@wwz1011]

Did you slot the wood so the wrench holders insert from behind? If not, how are the wrench holders attached? If you went from the backside, it would kind of mess up the thickness?

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

thifty bill yes, I went in from the back. It has been on my cart for 6 months now and It hasn’t caused any issues.

[@GurnIII]

Great ideas. Thanks for sharing.

[@mannygarcia3813]

Love the screwdriver one 👍

[@Kyrimfireandhobbies]

[@dwhallon21]

Great simple diy video

[@lancejasper3272]

I don't have that box but did give ideas for mine

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

That's what I was hoping for. I know everyone won't do exactly what I did, but I hope that I sparked and idea for people!

[@djhotjams7030]

Most definitely I love it

[@borhoden3216]

How did you attach the wrench organizer to the board?

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

it is stuck through the back, it is held in passively between the board and the lid of the box

[@jacob2483]

Great idea! Would look good with some black or color matched paint!

[@manicmaker52]

Does it close and lock after the mods?

[@justinmiranda7217]

It's a good idea. And I enjoyed the video. But you do all of this without adding the wood. All of these (except maybe a TV mount) come as magnets and will hold to the lid with tools in them. I have 3 of the different tool holders on my Bluepoint cart. Some of them you can buy at harbor freight.

[@seventhcircleracing3012]

Great idea - Thanks for the template.

[@Jonra0]

Great hack! Your video effects are looking nice too.

[@shaweehillsworkshop4226]

I can't take credit for anything on the videography side anymore, I started sub contracting out my video edits at the beginning of the year. Which has given me extra time to work on the thumbnail, lol.

[@otherstuffbybob]

Cool accessory for tools! TV's, phones and I pads get smashed too easily for me

[@mannygarcia3813]

Super smart great ideas
