them, but they do.

Some folks take the tools out of the shop, think "van shelves". If you
bought the tool at a pawn shop or eBay, the case frequently isn't
included. I've gotten brand new cordless tools, minus batteries, CHEAP
at pawn shops. Since I've got plenty of batteries, I'm happy.

I keep my cases, but frequently used tools don't live in them. Some
tools, like my right angle drill, electric hand plane, Kreg jig, etc...
see most use on finish carpentry projects outside the shop. The cases
for frequently used shop tools (routers, cordless drills, biscuit
joiners, sanders) are handy to have for away games.

Anyone have a case for a Bosch 3 1/4" electric plane they don't want?
