Anyone know if you can swap drawers on tge new Series 3?

I'm looking for a source to get more of the Gebra Midi PPE wall storage boxes. Back in the day Griot's sold a few. I have the Ear protection, but want some for Eye protection and Masks. Does anyone know of source for these in the US?

I have an IR 114GQC air hammer. It seems to be damaging the retaining lip of the chisels. I'm sure many have experienced something similar. Sometimes, I have remove the chuck to hammer the chisel back out. I bought a new 114, but before I put the chuck on and start using it, is there...

Any have issues with the chisel getting stuck in the chuck? Upon removal of the chisel, it looks like the retaining edge is being mushroomed? Is the chuck screwed down too far on the tool? Are there different inserted shaft lengths...and I just have one that is too long? Is it the way I use...

Thank you everyone. I'll share everything with the engineers and see what we can do. I'll let you know what ultimately works.

GJ family, I need some help. I have a space flight piece of hardware that has a broken #2 tap in copper. This is a two flute tap. We are able to get it to wiggle 1/4 turn but have no access to grab any portion of the tap with current tools. Sadly, machine, EDM....etc on flight hardware is a...

As it relates to the 44" which do you like better? I have not been able to see the Series 3 44" in person, but it seems the Series 2 is being cleared out with lower prices. From the pics, it seems the S3-44" has a second full width drawer which I think i'd like. Sockets on the top drawer and...
