preprius Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 I bought this lavender mini tool box but the lady said it would not hold enough for her paints. So it sit on my bench doing nothing but getting in the way. Aha... lets try it over near the scrollsaw. The top allows the blades to lay front to back. The drawers are a bit to short so they have to lay left right. i have a rolling cart next to my scrollsaw. it fits in front of my air filter collector. Yea now it is off my long bench.

Mike Crosa Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 I bought one of those from Harbor Freight. They had them on special. Quote
kmmcrafts Posted March 13 Report Posted March 13 Those have been hot sellers for the laser engraving community. They buy them and engrave / personalize them. Ammo cans too. I haven’t tried it but those that do say they sell like crazy. As soon as I buy a bunch of boxes and learn the techniques to engrave them the fad will be over and I will be stuck with a bunch of the boxes, This would be nice to store my CNC router bits and the tools I use for it though so maybe I should get one and practice engraving on it.

JimNC Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 I talked with a manage at a Harbor Freight Store and he said HF corp. said that they estimate 80% of the their mini tool boxes were sold to women or purchased for women. Quote

Hmm, I've changed my mind then... I'm not buying one now. Quote
Scrappile Posted March 14 Report Posted March 14 If I got one, it would have to be a different color to get in my shop. Maybe orange or red to match my saws. It is a nice tool chest, though. Quote
