One of the best-lighted boxes I've seen on youtube.
Why thank you !!!
This is bloody marvelous. Ive wanted to do this for a long time but was worried about tangleing wires
this is amazing, thanks for this now can wrench about dark
Very cool,great idea,I just built some wood cabinets in the garage that are 6ft tall,and 3 feet deep,and three levels of shelving,your tool cart idea will help light up the inside of those cabinets
Keep up the great ideas,and make them videos!!!!!!!
I have a HFreight 5 drawer,72 bottom,56 top,26 top and bottom,I will light those up in my spare time,lil by lil.
Thank you much appreciated!! Your cabinets will be "Lit" hahaha. I'm happy to help and hope it all works out! I have other led strip suggestions if you're interested.
Wow turned out great! I can’t wait to get one of those U.S. general’s perfect size and not too expensive.
Thank you sir. You can find a coupon on Google for the cart making the price $169.99
Excelent idea 💡. Love the cart
Thank you
That is awesome and thank you for sharing Pete!
Had the same idea for the top LEDs, also parts came into today
Heck yeah man, great minds think alike hahaha!!!
Hey thanks for letting me know the video was up!
Not a problem man. I hope this helps
I have toolbox envy 🙂
Super idea. Can you do the video for the top lights. Good luck
I will record that video this weekend. =)
Did you ever post a video on doing the top?
Commenting on the video for the algorithm
If snap on was worth the money they would have this option
Agreed 🤝
Cool but too much work for me. Lol
The white looks good, I have the red but might switch to the green
If you do, do it the both. Lol
I just ordered the stuff to do this. My only question is how did you get the leds in all the draws to wire to that one battery? or did you only do one drawer with led?
Very nice man!! Looks freaking good. Thanks for sharing. If I may ask, where did you got those socket trays? Or what brand are they?
Here is a link to Westling USA

Have you been able to determine how much battery life you are getting out of this set up?
I have to admit Pete, this is a much better video than first one of this toolbox mod. I have to agree with one of the guys that said it talked too much. But everybody has their own preference I suppose. I really did enjoy watching both of them. I'm going to have to do this to my kobalt toolbox. I do have a question though, instead of making this battery-powered is there a way to plug this into a 120 volt power outlet? I know nothing about electronics or just the basics. Any insight would be very helpful. Thanks again
Where did you get those socket organizers?
That’s bad ass!!!!
How do you stop the wires getting tangled or caught? Would love a how to video. Ive painted my tool box, but this would add a next level to it
Nice job! The strip blends so well with the white box.
Thank you much appreciated
I think you did a great job. Been working on mine for awhile. was curious on how you keep the wire from getting tangled or cut while open and closing the drawer? i have over 40 drawers to do on my tool box, which get opened and closed over 50 times a day.
I just typed one end to the drawer going underneath then back along the frame and up the back of the wall. I plan on getting a cable protector to help protect them. I'll definitely add that to the updated tool box video I'll be doing soon.
@@aZombieToaster ok cool thanks what I'm trying figure out is the power cable to the drawer has to move with the drawer. when you push the drawer in the the cable has to go somewhere from the back of my drawer to the back wall is over 2 ft so as the drawer slides in the that 2 ft of cable has to roll backwards without get caught up most setups I've seen have used battery packs in every drawer but with 40 some odd drawers that can get expensive
@@wthrse1163 you need to get plastic chains to hold the wire up and flex to open each drawer.
Where did you get your socket organizers?
Great job on the cart. Lights look great.

They suck don't get them. I've had mine less than 1 year and already 3 of my 1/2 inch tabs broke off way over priced.

Is there any possible way to do all the drawers and have them linked to the same battery? I was looking to try this mod but did not only want to do one drawer but rather all of them
I have been playing with this idea I ordered a boost converter and more LED strips to test out a way to run multiple strips on1 M12 battery. As soon as I finish testing I will make a video
@@aZombieToaster ok sounds good thank you, also which led lights did you order, that link to the product you posted on amazon isn't available anymore..
@@George-qx2yq I'll look it up again and post it here. Give me a min. =)

@@aZombieToaster thanks! will be taking this project on this weekend!
Man I was just thinking about how I could do this the other day because I had my toolbox in a dark part of the room and didn’t have enough light to really see without a flash light.
Heck yeah man I have another video with the parts I used if you're interested.
Yessir I’ve watched it already I just gotta get on there and check the links so I can order me some stuff. That tool box of yours is looking sweet!! I wanted the white originally but looking at it in the store didn’t look as good to me as online lol so I was set on the orange or the green and eventually ended up going with the green. Yours looks awesome though if I knew I coulda made it look that good I probably woulda went with the white still lol.
@@aZombieToaster and you had me rolling in the parts video too lmao. 🤣🤣🤣
@@geronimo6830 witch part had you laughing
@@aZombieToaster pretty much the whole thing with the little comments like when you were talking about the volt meter and then when you slid it off the table and was like I think I broke it but oh well I’ll get another one and the crack lighter part there was a lot of parts where you said shit that was funny.
