    Vidmar Drawer Latch?

    The earlier version req'd a modification to the drawer (from Vidmar catalog info), & was described as a custom order only feature. I suspect the same from this style even though the mod appears to be a hole rather than a rabbet. My unit is from 2007. 13 drawers @ 400lb capy each , I am...

    Used Vidmar cabinet fake?

    Late to the party as usual but one thing I've not heard mentioned is the interior details. First of all the drawers will 'feel' heavy for the size. Then there's the slider carraige, sturdy-not flimsy with ball bearing wheels. Finally the rails that screw to the cabinet & hold the sliders.Amazing...

    Vidmar Drawer Latch?

    Would like to see the inside of the drawer & how the lever works. Just bought my first Vidmar last week & would like to add the "only one drawer open" feature. Apparently that feature is a factory only item as the drawer front gets a clearance notch. 59x30x27.75, 9 drawers converted to 13, from...

    Streamliner mystery solved? :) Take a look blue bolt,I did a little rubbin with a synthetic wire cup held in my hand.Then a few wire brushes once I knew no detail would be lost. I think they we're trying to say..."Precision Bilt / Streamliner". I was only going to post two but what the hey...

    What i like about the Scout is that the screw is held in place with a *Ping!FuckIt* instead of the usual swaged washer so it came apart easily. Another job well done.But what was that about red & RollsRoyce scrap??? I think the red works very well on that little vise. Ooh,I see orange...
