Wow, I think this is the best reason for reviving an old thread I have ever seen. I wish more people did this. Great follow up DUG, thank you!
Steel Soldiers now has a few new forums, read more about it at: New Munitions Forums!
My bottom drawer IS loaded much heavier than in the year old pics. I'll post a new one up tonight. At 40-80 dollars each, I can buy a lot of these boxes instead of a high dollar one.I am glad you are having no problems with your tool box. I also think the cutouts to keep tools in place is a great idea. But as you have had no problems I did. most people will load there toolboxes much heaver than what you have in your pictures. all i can say is my experience is different than yours. The drawer that usually fails first is the bottom because of how much weight you can accumulate in it. putting a plywood spacer under it so when its closed the weight is off the drawer guides will help. A tip just in case any one else has the problems I did.

I traced the tools with a sharpie and then used the knife that comes with the kit. Any good razor blade with do though.Back to the thread how did you cut out the foam for your tools we use a few techniques at work but most are not very professional...LOL
DO you remember the nominal size, I have the bigger professional boxes doesn't look like they are that big.I traced the tools with a sharpie and then used the knife that comes with the kit. Any good razor blade with do though.
The kits comes with some sticky paper to put on the foam to make the tracing easier - don't use it, it's crap.
I think I used 1 or 2 kits of foam. Pretty cheap.
The size of the foam? Sears only makes one size that I know of. It has to be cut down to fit.DO you remember the nominal size, I have the bigger professional boxes doesn't look like they are that big.

That looks like an easier option. Now I just need to find one.
