That was my question. Seems like you could almost put one hammer in there.
Any machine is a smoke machine if you use it wrong enough.

Way to dinky to be of any type of good use to me no matter how cheap the price may seem.
Love those open face spinning reels! (Especially ABU & ABU/Zebco Cardinals)

They designed it in inches, but it got built in centimeters, and 5000 were made before they saw the first one.

I am going to put all (ok, some) of my drifts, punches and picks in there, the ones I use most. Maybe one more for just driver bits I use the most. I need to de-clutter again, these little boxes should help but really I just need them because they are so danged cute and I have always loved little things.

There are a thousand uses for these boxes —- any type of hobby stuff, supplies, small tools, craft stuff, pocketknives, makeup, jewelry, candy bars, etc.

Here is what I did with the (6) that I picked up for $84 last Monday.

Also, did anyone know that the Snap-On comparable box that cost about $150 each, is made in China by IPX, then relabeled and shipped to Vietnam to avoid high taxes and higher tariffs?  It is a Chinese box without the ball-bearing slides.  The world we live in is full of deceit and purposely hidden information.  Asia has some really good products —- but many manufacturing companies are trading in their good name for high profit rip-offs and taking advantage of unknowing consumers.

I bought four boxes, purple for the wife as its her favorite color but I think she would have preferred white as she likes to decorate over her stuff.   I am currently messing with a red box on my desk and having a great time with it. Most fun I have had in a while.   

Somebody give me Tommy's address so I can send him one.

Hey Fred, you know you can get paid to promote products.  How about a book recommendation?  Dominick
Leave the gun.  Take the cannolis.

There are two things I don't like about fishing.  Getting up early in the morning and boats.  The rest of it is fun.
