Jim

first thing I do is toss the cases they are way too big.

started doing what my father in law does, a old suitcase right sized
for each tool or tool group.

another too box question why are they all brite colors? regular tool
boxes? i prefer grey or black black ideally it stays looking good a
long time and doesnt show dirt.

geez the brite pinks and purples look gaudy to me
