Plush carpet is going to require big wheels, hardwood can use smaller ones.

You might be able to put some wheels under a Top Tool Chest, then when you get into a bigger space, put it on top of a regular tool box

I have something like this

I used it to keep commonly used tools for quick jobs.

For pin supplies, I have a much bigger rolling tool chest that is in a closet when not in use.

I bought this briefcase from Vector years ago. The accessibility and visibility of the tools is great. It's a bit of a mess, I'm in the middle of a shop job, but you get the idea. Everything goes back into the same spot, at least that is the plan. It's a constant work in progress as you favor different tools over time. I'm an electrician and have been using Veto Pro Pac bags for years, this is the way to work. It's a similar setup. I do keep some tools in bags, but I want my major tools visible and in the same spot every time. I believe cfh posted a similar setup in one of his early videos as well.

I'm trying to integrate my rolling cart and this is a work in progress that needs some refining. The idea is to roll the cart out of the living area after I'm done working. Unfortunately I'm never done working, and I have the games packed so tight I need to move a game to roll it out. First world problems.

I can do 95% of work out of that Platt briefcase. I don't see a need for one of those big bulky automotive style tool boxes. I have them and find them terribly disorganized.

I have the Craftsman version, which is identical.

I carry 3 divided containers with diodes, transistors, caps, chips, sockets, 2 larger divided containers with fuses, connector housings and pins, a 12" toolbox with all the tools I can stuff in it, soldering iron, Hakko desoldering tool, LED work light, various test modules and a bunch of random stuff in the divided bins on top.

I take it with me for onsite repairs and also take it to shows. It can easily be stored under a game and the latch can be locked with a padlock.

Most of my tools fit in this bag:

Although, with everything I have in it, it's at least 50lbs; possibly more. The big benefit of that bag is that I can just pick it up and go where I need to with it--either around the house or out on the road.

Cleaning supplies, soldering stuff, and electronics have their own separate boxes, parts containers, and parts drawers.
