Snap-on Custom Tool Storage Skins

Posted on February 19th, 2010
Snap-on Custom Tool Storage Skins Via their Facebook page, Snap-on recently discussed how one could skin and customize their Snap-on tool storage. While we understand and can appreciate the desire to customize and personalize a tool box, designs like this seem to be a bit too ostentatious.

Posted on February 8th, 2010
Systainer Polystyrene Compartment Trays A few weeks ago, we ordered a few Tanos Systainer storage trays from Lee Valley. These polystyrene compartmentalized storage trays are designed to fit into Systainer boxes, but we intend to use these trays in a few drawers to hold loose parts and tools.

Craftsman & Waterloo Ball Bearing Storage QC: 0 for 3

I’m fairly certain that Waterloo produced these items, but I may be mistaken. Purchased were: two 2-drawer ball bearing intermediate chests, and one 6-drawer Griplatch ball bearing chest. Thus far, I’m less than fully satisfied with all three units.

As with most IKEA products, assembly is DIY, but everything fits together [...]
