The minions say that the chests are largely totally assembled. One of them had
to have the wheels put on, the other was totally assembled.
But you could put it on the roof of the Corolla, get a buddy and each of you
put a arm out the window and hold it as you drive.

I'm curious - are any of these chests self assemble-able or do they all come
preassembled?
I've considered getting one for my home but I don't think I could fit one in my
Corolla unless it was in smaller pieces.

Why the extra voltage? Compensate for resistance of long cable? Might be
safer to just spend more money for heavier gauge wire.
Having once exploded a battery I was jumping on a zero degree day, I am
cautious about creating sparks around hydrogen. Getting sprayed with sulfuric
acid is not fun. I guess if you follow the last connection to the chassis
rule you are OK. But the idea of using an 18 volt battery would scare me. And
is it really necessary?
If there’s AC available, I like the approach of hooking up a battery charger.
Let it charge for 10 minutes on highest current setting and most cars will
start even with a weak battery. But you are looking for a portable system.
Most of my portable generators have a 12V DC output that they say you can use
for starting cars or charging batteries. I haven’t tried it. Need the special
cable.

If there are any electronics in the vehicle, I would worry about it.

Yep, red for electrical. Black for mechanical. Like to have one for
plumbing and pneumatic I think. I have several Kennedy’s for machine shop. On
a different subject, finally got a newish forklift battery. Old one had a bad
cell that I had jumpered. Problem was you couldn’t leave it on the charger
without risking overcharge. Also the forklift thought it was always low on
charge and would shutdown prematurely. Gonna build a boss man jumper battery
system. Put it in the back of the service truck with 50’ of welding cables.
The question is: how much voltage? 16 volts at least but I am considering 18
volts. Enough cells to make two of these. One I think I will make forkball
with the skid steer for jump starting around the shop. I know auto systems can
take 16 volts without issue. Is 18 too much?

Yeah, pretty nice chests. I bought one for the shop this year. I also
thought it was pretty cool that they now sell them in like ten different colors.

For the past year I have been monitoring pricing on used tool chests.
Snap-On, MAC etc. Pricing them out by cents per cubic inch etc.
Last week was in Harbor Freight getting some air fittings and checked
out their tool chests. Brand new price is lower than the used pricing on name
brand boxes.
So I bought a couple of them. One for mechanic tools one for
electrical tools and supplies.
Pretty nice. The castors are not ball bearing but at least, for now,
they are rolling nice. The steel is not any thinner than name brand boxes.
The ball bearing drawer slides are better than some old non bearing kennedy and
craftsman boxes I have.
Too bad their sales always seem to exclude tool chests.
