Need a grooming 'tack box" type

Posted : 7/15/2010 7:10:47 AM

Mine finally bite the dust.

This is what I am looking for. A solid type box, that has a lift down section for like leads. One section for spray bottles. Another section for brushes- pin brushes, rakes, combs and a place for the little case for thinning shears..

Got any suggestions? It would have to be rather light weight, not too big in size, but big enough 'to do the job".

My "grooming box" is a small rubbermaid container. The lid locks onto the box and has a handle, which makes it easy to carry. I have 3 pin brushes, a rake, several combs, flea comb, nail clippers, 2 scissors, thinning shears, and 2 clippers, and lots of other stuff that Im forgetting, and it all fits fine. It doesnt have sections... I think if it did it would probably have to be bigger and bulkier.

I had one like that a few years back. The problem I had with it, is everything ended up in one big pile, and therefore still I had to search for what I needed.. LOL

Okay- does anyone have this one? http://www.dog.com/item/metro-airforce-groomer-case-16l-x-8w-x-1325h/192173/ How does it work for you?

I was going to suggest that one. Can't be any help on how it works, tho- sorry. Here's a thought- how about one of these? http://www.google.com/products?hl=en&rlz=&q=stanley+tool+boxes+on+wheels&um=1&ie=UTF-8&ei=zxk_TIbZJML68AaSn6jjCw&sa=X&oi=product_result_group&ct=title&resnum=3&ved=0CEQQrQQwAg

Our son has the fourth one for his paintball gear. The only downfall to that one is it takes up a lot of room in the vehicle- almost as much as a #400 Vari Kennel (he has the larger of the 2 sizes they make).

Those are good but you are right- very big. Hmm..

I use a rubbermaid tote with different baskets from the dollar tree to keep things organized...

Have you poked around Pet Edge's website?

(PS, I'm moving this to the Grooming section)

Yippee!! It arrives today. I have spent the morning collecting all my 'stuff'.. Man- it was allllll over the house! I can not wait to have everything in one box.. ( stares out the window for delivery..) teehee......

I got it and I LOVE IT! It is professional, beautiful, well made and love everything about it. So roomy inside, even all my stuff does not even remotely fill it! Love it!

Mods- could this be moved to product recommendation?
