The one labeled “Raw Meat” was my favorite. From: Ken Hohhof Sent: Monday, December 31, 2018 11:48 AM To: 'AnimalFarm Microwave Users Group' Subject: Re: [AFMUG] OT tool chests
I’m imagining all the labeled boxes on shelves at M5 Industries. They never seemed to be in alphabetical order though, not sure how Jamie found stuff.

Like they do on the flight deck of an aircraft carrier looking for foreign objects that could be injected into the engine of a jet. After several hours we had 4-5 tables heaped with tools. Looked like we opened our own Harbor Freight. I did this about a year ago with same results but that time we really didn’t find a place for everything so it went to hell again. This time everything goes in a box with a label on the drawer. Now, if I want an impact wrench with the proper sockets and extensions, I can find it. In theory. I wonder how many tools I have lost in a lifetime.

My dad's farm shop is a mess as far as tool organization is concerned. I'm going to assume that a lack of space to properly organize them contributes towards that. Lack of tool organization contributes to tool loss. ----- Mike Hammett Intelligent Computing Solutions Midwest Internet Exchange The Brothers WISP -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- From: "Chuck McCown" <ch...@wbmfg.com> To: af@af.afmug.com Sent: Saturday, December 29, 2018 11:26:20 AM Subject: [AFMUG] OT tool chests For the past year I have been monitoring pricing on used tool chests. Snap-On, MAC etc. Pricing them out by cents per cubic inch etc. Last week was in Harbor Freight getting some air fittings and checked out their tool chests. Brand new price is lower than the used pricing on name brand boxes. So I bought a couple of them. One for mechanic tools one for electrical tools and supplies. Pretty nice. The castors are not ball bearing but at least, for now, they are rolling nice. The steel is not any thinner than name brand boxes. The ball bearing drawer slides are better than some old non bearing kennedy and craftsman boxes I have. Too bad their sales always seem to exclude tool chests. -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -- AF mailing list AF@af.afmug.com http://af.afmug.com/mailman/listinfo/af_af.afmug.com
