What's in your service cart? was created by Tutti57
I just picked up a sweet used blue point cart for $150 yesterday and am excited to fill it up, but am not sure what I want in it. Things I use most of the time or just what I need for that job? It's a five drawer flip top with a few side accessories.

What do you seasoned folks do with yours?

I keep as much of my most used tools in the drawers. I don't really store any tools in the top compartment. I leave it empty except for a couple power tools, like impact and cordless ratchet. That way I have someplace to put the tools I'm currently using for the current job without having to put things back in their place until I'm done with the job or at the end or beginning of the day.

My box lives in the building and i work outside, so I take everything on a cart.
1/2" sockets deep & shallow & axle nut sockets
1/4 & 3/8ths sockets, deep & shallow
2 ratchets for each set
Combination wrenches, ratchet wrench set
Screwdriver set
Electric and air impact guns
Air hammer
Cutting pliers
Flashlights
Torx sockets
Prybar
Balljoint press (just the C-clamp, very handy)
Bungee cords, ratchet strap (pulling and hanging stuff is important)
And a trust worthy hammer.
With that set up i can pull a few engines in the yard and wheel everything back to the garage to work on the night jobs.

A bit off topic but do you wear gloves of any type in the winter?
