This rig is the Tool Pr0n of storage. Designed to provide techs with bad-ass organization, the new 5s ISS storage system by Matco is one of the top-of-the-line items that will find itself shoved to the top of wish lists.
Matco says the 5s ISS has been designed to allow flexibility in configuration and layout. What that really means is that any number of pros can use it from maintenance to manufacturing. Top and bottom stations are available in 48″ and 60″ widths that can be used stand-alone or in combo with toolboxes. You can have any finish you want as long as it’s powder coated, but it will come in a bunch of colors.
No word on price yet but lustworthy commercial grade gear and “cheap” normally don’t reside in the same sentence, so expect to pay more than a card table and a set of milk crates.

When I think of customizable tool storage, I think of 19” rack-mountable drawers of various heights that ride on front/back rails. Mix and match drawer sizes to your heart’s content, and maybe put a cabinet on top.
Don’t know if anyone makes such a system, but if they don’t, I call dibs.
Dang!

Locking 19″ drawers of various depth are also available from http://www.chatsworth.com/.
I know some are rated for 100 lbs.
Should be on Craigslist about a week after purchase. Buy slightly used, save a few bucks.
Now, if it just weren’t one of the cheeseball Matco units that drop the bottoms out of the drawers and have a painted on finish that looks like it came out of a rattle can, it’d really be cool!
