Tool Trolley from China

2/12/2018

2 Comments

 
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.

​Here are the pics and descriptions:
Picture
Delivered upside down
Picture
No dent or damage to the box upon inspection
Picture
Very well packed!!! With styrofoams pieces and hard cardboard "angle bars". I'm impressed!
Picture
Took me a while to pull the box out from the above. Very nice!!! No scratches and dent.
Picture
Just as I guessed, the castors, handle bar, and other hardware are in the drawer.
Picture
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.
Picture
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.
Picture
Took me a couple of minutes to realize how to fix the handle bar. Lol.
Picture
The castor went on last as I don't want the trolley to move around while I fix up the handle.
Picture
The purchase came with 4 hooks for the predrilled holes at the side. Nice addition.
Picture
The bandsaw's new home is ready.
Picture
Bought this roll of rubber mat centuries ago... time to put it to use.
Picture
Damn... oops.. I mean to say, using the rubber mat as dampener... nice work, Kyle! You cut the mat so straight and nice...
Picture
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.
Picture
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.
Picture
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!

Wow...that is one optimized work space! If you leave the trolley in your hallway your wife maybe be nice and leave your dinner on it - that way you will never need to leave your projects!
