The much anticipated tool trolley has arrived! It took longer than my usual purchases from China through ezBuy as the purchase was done on ezBuy's Prime. I save quite a bit on shipping of this trolley, thanks to Terence and his sister! Otherwise, shipping should be in the $50-$100 range given its volumetric weight.

Delivered upside down
No dent or damage to the box upon inspection
Very well packed!!! With styrofoams pieces and hard cardboard "angle bars". I'm impressed!
Took me a while to pull the box out from the above. Very nice!!! No scratches and dent.
Just as I guessed, the castors, handle bar, and other hardware are in the drawer.
Nice set of rubber wheels on the castors. Gentle on my parquet flooring in the shop. Unfortunately, there are no wheels with brakes. I may need to replace 2 of the castors to those with braking mechanism if the trolley move too much during cuts.
Ran the M6 tap in the tapped holes on one side of the handle bar. Can't screw the M6 screws in due to the powder coating.
Took me a couple of minutes to realize how to fix the handle bar. Lol.
The castor went on last as I don't want the trolley to move around while I fix up the handle.
The purchase came with 4 hooks for the predrilled holes at the side. Nice addition.
The bandsaw's new home is ready.
Bought this roll of rubber mat centuries ago... time to put it to use.
Damn... oops.. I mean to say, using the rubber mat as dampener... nice work, Kyle! You cut the mat so straight and nice...
The unsightly part of the mat covered up...
From another angle.
No, I'm not putting the Nardi there. I can have the sander and/or the grinder in there. I maybe selling Nardi, if I cannot find a suitable fridge compressor to replace the current one.
The Black & Decker Workmate 225 has served me well through the years. It is heavier and more sturdy than competition's similar work bench. Saw a few other brands at Horme and its like - all flimsy and light. Brand new cost lesser now I think. Saw it on promotion at Lazada at $148.
Being me, I can't bear to give it away but I need the space to work in...
Im very happy with the purchase. The trolley looks nice and is sturdy enough even as my bandsaw stand. I can push it around while I work at different part of the workbenches and provides me with additional storage space. Best of all, it's about $400 cheaper than the cheapest tool trolley I can find locally, shipping included. I know that it is not as rigid and likely to be inferior in quality as compared to those branded ones available locally, but for its intended use, it well surpassed my expectations!
