Ikea Shop Cart
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.

Reason: Used it all afternoon & changed my opinion of the height.

Thats good Dave, it beats dragging the cardboard box around the garage.

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.

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.
