I have been using a rolling toolbox next to my lathe.
Last night I learned that there is a very finite balance point on these units relative to having the drawers open and holding tools I have been using on the lathe.
I dropped something and it rolled behind the tool box. i walked around behind and retrieved it. As I started to rise gain I just touched the box and over it went.
One of the extension slides has unhooked from the main body and it and the drawer frame is bent.
I am lucky I didn't drop the tool in front of the box, I could have been under it.

Not a tool box but a filing cabinet. A couple of days before he was due to get married, my brother and a friend were carrying a full 4 drawer filing cabinet up some narrow stairs. About half way up ta drawer came open tipping the cabinet and it smashed my brothers arm up against a wall and broke it in a couple of places. It happens so quickly.

When I tried it acetone and ATF would not mix. Having tried it I am still skeptical that it is that good. Using diesel on it's own would probably be just as good.
Gold, the colour of choice for the discerning person.
