Ikea Shop Cart

David Paule

Well Known Member
Ikea sells a very handy kitchen cart that works great in my shop./ It comes in a few colors, this ivory, a black and a rust color.

It rolls well and the three shelves are a convenient height, whether I'm standing, sitting on a stool or on the floor. And they ship, so you don't have to go to a physical store if there's none convenient.

The shelves are slightly smaller than I'd really like, but handy enough anyway. The height is good but it might be a bit low.

Recommended.

A couple of my friends have these, too. One of them suggested leaving the middle shelf out, but I haven't found that necessary.

Outside of having bought this product, I have no other connection to Ikea.

Followup

Bought the rust-colored one, since anything made of steel will show rust sooner or later in our damp winter climate.

An ideal tool cart for rolling around in tight and not-so-tight spaces, thanks again for the tip!
 
Perfect! Thanks for sharing this. Just yesterday I was complaining to my "bucking bar buddy" how every time I need a tool, it's always on the other side of the plane. This will eliminate that issue.

Plus, it's Monday and I get to start the week with a fix for my addiction to buying tools. :)
 
Grypmat

Another handy tool caddy that I love is the Grypmat. They're soft, clingy plastic and conform to the top of your wing or fuselage to keep from marring the finish. I just bought the large one. I just bought the large one for $60.
 
I liked the look of the IKEA trolley for the workshop so looked to see if it's available here in the U.K. Yes, for ?45/$63! What a rip-off.
 
More tools

Randy, you?re not doing it right. What you need is two carts and two sets of tools ;)
 
Or a bathroom carpet

Dollar Store bathroom carpets with rubber backing and enough cushioning to protect the wing surface. No compartments, per se, but stuff doesnt want to roll off. Absorbent too. $6.

A good incentive to finish your RV, fly to Oshkosh, order a cart at our far more reasonable prices and have it delivered there, then fly it home! Is that a logical stretch or what? That said (and talk about thread scope creep) I'd love to fly my RV-7 to Europe someday.
 
Welp..... You got me!

Mine arrived yesterday, my first Ikea experience--impressed with the quality and price, will be used for a tool caddy in the hangar.
