This tool cabinet photo is hilarious! *LINK*

Wayfair is now selling benches and tool cabinets. Look at the tool setup in this sales photo. Man, I thought I had some repetitive tools in the shop! Never met anyone that needed 4 eggbeater drills! But the 11 #4 planes takes the cake! Added the link if you want to see it in a larger format.

Hey, if you can't make your own custom cabinet, you don't need those tools.

It reminds me of a smaller version of the tool cabinet in Mr Hansen’s seventh grade wood shop at Robbinsdale Junior High

Amusing, I agree ... but maybe they're aiming their product at a shared workshop; educational workshops spring to mind. I didn't read all their blurb because with me being in the UK they have some sort of block on their website meaninfg I can't access the full description. Slainte.

For an additional $8100 you get the tools

Barry Irby

Click on the Select Tools button.

Why would it be 22" deep?

I suspect these people are not really into this.

The advertising world today is filled with people who make little or no effort to know the area they are advertising. While this photo is obviously poorly outfitted, it is no worse than many I see on television.

On the left door,

Bill Houghton, Sebastopol, CA

at the top right: what tools are those?

And bins that you have to pull out, set down somewhere before removing the tool, then put back? Have they never heard of drawers?

Re: This tool cabinet photo is hilarious! *LINK*

Drawers are EXTRA!

Kevin French

It listed for $23,000.00 for with TUBS.

What do you think it would cost with Drawers?

Re: This tool cabinet photo is hilarious! *LINK*

Drawers

Bill Houghton, Sebastopol, CA

Boxers or briefs? Price would probably be higher if you got boxers with little drawings of planes and chisels and so on printed on.

You guys are just jealous because you don't have three five pound hammers, four identical claw hammers, seven identical squares, four identical egg beater drills, four Braces and two complete sets of auger bits?

While this tool cabinet and its chosen tool set is the ultimate hobby shop absurdity, I think I was pretty smart to purchase my Industrial SawStop when it first came on the market (and when it was the only available SawStop). At that time there were also 5 and 7.5 hp models available, but IMHO, those were overkill for the hobby shop.

Re: My clamps are going to be jealous

Bill Houghton, Sebastopol, CA

What an odd tool mix. And not nearly enough clamps. Definitely a designer's concept of a tool cabinet, rather an actual tool cabinet.

Spending that kind of money on a table saw only proves that you have more money then I do, nothing more.

AZ in Colorado Springs

That's because the egg beater drills won't accommodate a quick change chuck.

Gotta be able to keep to the production schedule!

Not too many eggbeaters (two, actuallu), but a few braces. These are used - nothing works as well as a brace and bit for large holes.

Incidentally, the Wood Owl augers are fantastic.
