Re: What makes a good pit?
We almost always have someone constantly putting tools away. That helps us to keep everything neat. We keep a few key items on the cart itself (wrenches, specifically 3/8 and 7/16, cable cutters, #2 and #3 screwdrivers, 8 inch black zip ties, a spare battery, a flashlight). Everything else goes back. We have two freestanding tol/part boxes, specifically the Stanley Fat Max mobile workstations, and two desktop toolboxes, as well as a box for electrical. We keep two sets of shelves n the pit to put spare parts, raw material, and various boxes of parts from our shop, such as nuts, bolts, washers, pneumetic fittings, bearings, and everything else we could possibly need. The shelves really help. They're portable too, so you don't have to bring a huge pit setup.
