    Westward Tool Boxes

    Hey @Outahere : I know this is an old thread, but I'm looking at that exact same Westward 3 drawer that you got. Since it's been 2 years, what's your thoughts on it?

    Anyone use Inline Fabrication quick change plates on their workbench?

    Cool! I have a 4" vise right now, and it's served me well for the limited use I put it through. I've thought about upgrading to a 6" at some point, but it's not too high on the list of things to upgrade yet... Would you have any qualms about using this setup with a medium sized drill press as well?

    Anyone use Inline Fabrication quick change plates on their workbench?

    So I think the Inline Fabrication plates are a no-go for anything other than light vice use. Since this is my 1st time building my own workbench- what would you guys and gals suggest. Either the swappable 2x12 boards like this: Or fabricating a receiver and off-centered plate on a hitch like...

    Anyone use Inline Fabrication quick change plates on their workbench?

    I had looked into that exact VersaMount, but it's 6" wide- so too wide for mounting it vertically on a 4x4. If I were to get one fabricated, it'd probably be a combo of this one and their wall receiver. Kinda like this: The worry that I have with this option, is that the plate welded to the...

    Anyone use Inline Fabrication quick change plates on their workbench?

    Maybe… Here’s the whole picture: It’s a wood workbench built on top of 2 tool cabinets (kinda like a stevo bench) On top of the cabs will be the grid of 2x4’s on edge, each side will overhang by 4”, the front corners will each have a 4x4 leg, and the back will be lag bolted to studs. On top of...

    Anyone use Inline Fabrication quick change plates on their workbench?

    Unfortunately, with the lack of depth in my garage, I don’t have the room to leave a vice or grinder mounted on a receiver. I’d have to remove it every single time to be able to park in the garage. But this was going to be my preferred method :(

    Anyone use Inline Fabrication quick change plates on their workbench?

    My initial plan was to mount the vise to a 2x12 (and the grinder to another same sized 2x12) with holes at each corner. I would have corresponding holes on the bench with t-nuts underneath. I would then be able the bolt in the tool as needed, and swap as needed. I’m thinking this may be the way...

    Anyone use Inline Fabrication quick change plates on their workbench?

    I’m redoing my garage and building a new workbench. I don’t have enough room for both a vise and a grinder to permanently live on the bench, and not enough room to use a hitch & receiver option for swapping out the vise and grinder. Does anyone have experience with Inline’s quick change plates...

    Power tool batteries got soaked

    Unknown for sure as they were in a closet, and the leak happened right above the container (for good or for bad). Worst case was 10 days ago, as that was the last I used a battery.

    Power tool batteries got soaked

    I just took apart one of the Worx 56v. Any suggestions besides tossing it?

    Power tool batteries got soaked

    Sumboodie: I just edited my post, and I’m also editing this reply: a family member just took a shower (right above the mentioned closet), and we just discovered that we have a small leak from that shower, and that’s where the water came from!

    Power tool batteries got soaked

    Hey everyone- I have 7 odds and ends power tool batteries and chargers that I just store in a small open plastic tote in one of our closets. (If it matters: 2 Worx 56v batteries, 4 Bosch 12v batteries and 1 old Craftsman 12v). I just went to grab a battery, and the 6x12” tote had about 1 1/2” of...
