A rolling tool chest cabinet can hold many maintenance tools. However, if you want to begin each project properly prepared, there are five tools that you should stored in every rolling cabinet.
Safety Goggles
Safety goggles will protect your eyes when you operate power tools during construction projects. If you wear heavy-duty goggles, the thick, plastic housing on the lenses will block
- Chemicals
- Water
- Fumes
Screwdrivers
Screwdrivers will be needed during various building projects that involve screws. Because there are different types of screws, you’ll need to store one flat-head screwdriver and one Phillips screwdriver in your cabinet. The flat-head option will help you loosen and tighten screws that are designed with a straight notch, and the Phillip screwdriver will adjust screws that have notches in four directions.
Locking Pliers
When you have to resolve plumbing problems, you can adjust pipes with locking pliers. This tool has a mechanism that grips pipes and a bolt that adjusts the tension. After pieces are locked, you can unlock the mechanisms by applying pressure to the handles.
Tape Measurement
If you’re going to build structures, you’ll need a tape measure. This product will help you calculate proper measurements so that you can avoid inefficiencies that can impact precision during a building project. When you’re done using a tape measure, the ruler will retract. While retracted, the base doesn’t take up a lot of space in a cabinet.
Hammer
A hammer will help you drive nails into walls and wood materials during general maintain and building routines. When picking a hammer, always test the grip. If a product has a solid grip, you’ll have no problems striking nails safely.
These products should be featured in every cabinet because they provide big benefits during maintenance routines. In order to avoid accidents while using a cabinet, always lock the casters to prevent the base from rolling away.
