Organize the Ultimate Cabinet Install Cart

Take a look at the cabinet install cart I built using the Milwaukee Packout System - it's been a real time saver on the job site when I'm installing cabinetry & trim. Let me know what you think!

In packout rolling cart I fit my cordless track saw, cordless circular saw, 18 gauge brad nailer, track clamps and cordless angle grinder. All fits snug. On top of that I keep my 3 drawer packout: bottom drawer cordless jigsaw, pin nailer, flashlight which I rarely ever use and a case for pin nails and jigsaw blades.. middle drawer all my batteries and top drawer my 18v drill, impact, oscillating saw and room for a quick charger. All my loose cabinet install tools ( hammer, soft blow, 2-3/4 hole saw, 2-3/8 hole saw, random sizes forstner bits, clamp sets both 12” and kreg, square, block plane, coping saw, glues both standard and ca with activator, shims and some other random things) I made dividers in a craftsman versastack open tote case and it works great. Everything right there

It’s a great idea, in theory.
In my 20yrs of high end Carpentry and joinery, I can honestly say there’s been maybe a dozen jobs where this tool trolley would’ve been practical. The amount of gates, stairs, buzz in entries, lifts, slopes, uneven ground and other ppl that a carpenter/joiner must deal with and work/manoeuvre around on a weekly basis, is ridiculous.
We need a contraption(s) that can safely, efficiently and neatly hold and transport the billion tools we need for each job.
Tool bags are messy and time consuming and heavy AF!.. tool chests are great on paper but r massive hassles in reality…
I’m drawing a blank but I’m hoping somebody has some awesome ideas…?!?! 😁

nice unit! I'm doing sort of the same idea, except i'll be building wood sides and a back that attach to the bottom cart, 2 drawer units inside, then I can add anything to the outside plywood. as well i'm going to have 2 flip up tables on the side of the unit.
cheers

Nice video! I love the design of your topper! Can you do a video with more detail of it and how you made it? Also a video of going through what tools you have in your drawers and your pack out tote would be cool!

Seems like a solution for the weight issue might be to put the heavier tools lower in the stack. Great video though! Keep ‘em coming!

Love it, dude. I'd like to see how you've organized your small parts organizers, as i haven't figured out how to use them effectively yet

FYI. Tracksaw fits in ammo box with chip guard screw removed

Like your homemade topper!
The Makita saw will fit in the large box, however batteries must be removed first.
And it's a pain to constantly add and remove batteries.
Saying that, my large box currently holds.
Tracksaw, railsquare, 4-10 batteries, 2 rail clamps, extra blades, new BL omt (which is very fat in its girth) + extra blades, and a grinder with flapdisc and other discs.
It can be 40- 60lbs if bringing extra batteries.
It bat's second above a 3 drawer holding all handtools, and below drill-driver box with every bit/holesaws etc.

When you do custom millwork and have to do a ton of scribing, modifications, you can never have enough tools. Anyone who says this is over kill has never done high end work

Vacuum excluded from Ultimate Cabinet Install Cart?

[Faderk]

I love your cart but it doesn’t work from reverse living homes and I’m trying to find a tools system to use for reverse livening homes that the elevators are not useable yet which is like every job I have. I guess my search continues

[laudenhuston]

Nice cart set up gotta change mine a little now. What scribe tool is that?

[zaveperkins]

What’s the spray you’re using to clean the cabinet faces?

[trenchpig]

Now let’s see you take it up 8 flights of stairs to install in high end apartments..
in my opinion as a cabinet installer for 36 years that’s too much stuff.. it would take a day just to get all that to the work floor.. I install 35-40 boxes a day plus trim @ $20 per box and don’t use half that crap.. that’s just me though.. if all that works for you and makes you money, just forget every thing I say..

Great idea and organization though.
