I am not sure where to post this at but my question is for the group of people that do machining as a living whether it be cnc or manual. What tool storage do you guys use when you are on the go. I am getting promoted at work more and more and i would like to upgrade from my little 3 drawer tool box to something moveable.
A little background on what my job is. I am a set up machinist for cnc mills and i am constantly moving from one machine to the next to run one operation to the next operation. Always drawing pictures to help with problems at hand or calculating numbers for offsets and such. Im always in need of either my allen keys files or even indicators and spend time walking back and forth to finish my task.
I have been looking at these 2 home depot tool carts to buy.

I like the 4 drawer cart due to all the storage but my job usual has most tools given, i just like to use my own measuring instruments as i work my way up. However the utility cart i find very nice due to the practicality of having stuff on the top like notepads as im working on a program and if i need something i can just slide it open to get what i need out. I am going to look at both of those boxes tmr morning and im hoping some of you guys will have some thoughts on what you use.
