    Thumbs up Sold

    Hi guys,

    I'm selling the drawers setup that I made for my business. I only used it for a month before deciding that I needed a toolbox setup instead. Its essentially as new, if you call it that since it is custom made. Would suit a tradesman etc, fairly heavy duty.

    -It has a locking mechanism on the front that is easy to grip with the fingers and is spring loaded. It unlocks both drawers at once and stops them opening in transit.

    -The drawers have a gap underneath them to the floor of 16cm, which is the depth from the opening to the floor of my Octavia. This means you can store things underneath by lifting up the front of the drawers 30 degrees. It is designed like an arrow at the back to allow this, and to make it easier to pivot! Means you can also store things underneath out of view. You could fit gas struts to it if you wanted to.

    -Has lots of holes cut out underneath to greatly reduce weight while retaining stiffness. It does however need to be braced to the car at each side. This doesn't mean actually attached to the car, just making contact with the wheel wells so it doesnt bend back and forth on corners when fully loaded!

    Dimensions:
    Width 975mm
    Depth at top 725mm
    Depth to arrow point 972mm
    Depth at bottom 870mm
    Height 420mm
    Height from floor to bottom of drawers 160mm

    -Cost of making it was:
    $60 for the 12mm and 16mm mdf
    $20 for the hard wearing soft rubber on the top
    $56 for the 4 drawer sliders
    $10 spray paint
    Assorted screws
    About 10-12 hours hacking away

    Asking price $150 FIRM, NOW $100

    Hey mate,
    Just make sure your dimensions work. Also this isn't for outdoors. It will handle any water spill etc, just not to be sitting outside soaking. And it definitely needs to have something touching each side to stop it from swaying. Its built tough so you can stand on it and load heavy tools, but not flexing sideways.

    Im in Caulfield, VIC. Can post, buyer pays

    Hey mate, I'm a bit wider in the space between my wheels.
    I've got a tonneau but it doesn't repel all water . Not to worry, I'll give it a miss.
