Tool Box or Rollaway? <grin>

Hello Lovegroove, thanks for that great reply. It looks like a comprehensive set of tools in a small space. Your box seems similar to the ones our mechanics own. Also, I assume those foam inserts are about 5+ cm thick and sit inside your tool box one on top of the other. Just to mention, I saw a Penguin case the other day that was like that with two foam layers in it.

Another hitch we could have if doing it your way is that we might not be able to trust all the mechanics to do a neat job of cutting their own foam inserts. I think we'd have to have someone help them so the job ends up looking good and makes the best use of space on their foam.

That said, I have a feeling we're going to end up doing it just like you described. Because this company isn't known for its "loose purse strings", I bet we'll end up with a low tech/low cost method. That's fine with me, and would work, as you have said. However, it'll take someone who cares about cutting the foam inserts to do a good job

Thanks again.
