[AT] OT: roll around tool box recomendations

[Almost-Running Deere]

I have both a Sears and a Kobalt sold by Lowes.  The Kobalt one seems 
significantly better made than the Sears version.  Not much more expensive.  
In fact, I bought  a second base to use as a portable work bench since my 
aging knees appreciate my staying upright  :^).  I simply afixed a plywood 
top and polyurethaned it.  Seems to be working and I have the 5 storage 
drawers underneath.  My neighbor looked at it and said it was too high but I 
don't mind it.
