Caring for Your Tool Box
Pride of ownership dictates a good tool box as the proper storage place for the professional tradesman's valuable hand tools. And, according to the Hand Tools Institute, safety is important-even with tool boxes.
Keep in mind that a tool box is meant to hold tools, not to be stood upon or used as an avil or saw horse. The portable type of tool box may have up to five drawers, a lift-out tray, and possibly a cantilevered tray that automatically opens out when the cover is lifted. All seams should be welded and smooth with no protruding edges to catch clothing or hands.
A good way to protect your tools is lining the bottom of the box and tray with felt, especially in trays that hold sharp-edged tools. And always replace your tools in the same tray or drawer they were removed from. This system will save time when looking for a particular tool.
