Stanley Mobile Work Center-Another Z-man review

[z-man280]

My trusty Plano 7271 has been a great little pit box. Gave me the room for what I needed, and with a couple trays slid out, I could even hide my radio in there. I got a great deal on my box, for 70% off, and at $34.99 normal price, that was a huge discount.

BUT, the time to step up had come. I needed more room. I searched for another tackle/pit box,but the shock factor on cost was overwhelming. $80.00,..and UP!:eek::huh:

Enter the Stanley Mobile Work Center:

With much more room, I as able to carry all my gear, plus support I couldnt get before.

That's 2 Radios, Dremel, Fuel bottle, and a Quart of fuel in there! Nice.

and lastly, the top.

With more storage, i can slide the trays from the Plano in, carry charger, spare tires, ect., all in ONE box! So much easier than lugging a pitbox, demel case, radio box, ect......

A small swing out tray also aids in those screws, shock springs, ect., that we need at a moments grab.

and but best of all...It's mobile.

Available at Home Depot, this has been a great addition to my R/C stable. It not only keeps all my gear handy, but with the handle and nice big wheels, it goes everywhere behind me with ease.

With a price of $29.99, it's almost impossible to NOT find this an amazing deal!

WOW those are good boxes nice setup you got there. I have a few smaller ones. I would like to get one big one so its less to haul around everytime I bash. ill have some picture up later today. I also would like to get a bag to put my truggy in.......maybe i can add that to money spent on rc lol

[ElectricThunder]

30 bucks? I need to get me one of those. I store my trucks in these big ol' tupperware box things, and I can only fit one truck per tupperware thing.

[z-man280]

Thanks Marca.

The Work Center is for sure the hot set-up for me. Now, when i go outside, I forsee a couple of hooks on the back to mount the touring car on. Looks like i will get to do yet another mod!!!:D WHEEEE!

[rccardude04]

Wait... 30 bucks? Was it on sale? lol... That looks rather handy.

[SerpentCT4S]

I checked Home Depot.com and cant find it there. I'm going to got here tomorrow, but was just curious to see it online. Anyone have a link to it?

[whalebone]

Those are to small you need one like i have Ron lol

[FESTER2004]

i am there,i am so getting 1!if i get 1 serp,i letcha know!maybe i can ship 1 to you if you cant find it

[Jeckler]

now that the latches are metal i think i might get one as well - nice write up

+1. I have the same one with the plastic latches, and am missing one of them. What really sucks is that Stanley lists the replacement part on their site, but they're out. It's like a giant tease.

BTW: Walmart sells 'em too. $25 last time I looked.

[SerpentCT4S]

Just took a ride to Home Depot and picked one up! I had the same Plano tackle box as you Ron. This box is alot better and looks like it can fit a decent amount of things. Plano boxes are good, but when you want a big one, they cost more than $30. I'm going to fill my new box up today and see how much I can get in there. Thanks for sharing a great box for a great price!

[z-man280]

Thanks Serp!

Post pics of your "stuffed" box man!!!

( yikes, that almost sounds a bit perverse, doesnt it?)

[XXWoodmanXX]

I've had the Stanley Workbox for about 4 yrs now (mine's Black/Yellow) It's served it's purpose for about 2+ yrs, then started to get brittle/fragile in the bitter lake-effect winters, and cracked when handled.

An excellent pit-box for SURE, but definitely not a good on-the-job toolbox. hehe

now that the latches are metal i think i might get one as well - nice write up

Yea,...the plastic ones on mine always gave me fits. lol

[FESTER2004]

[FESTER2004]
