Blow-molded case mods

[jsharpphoto]

Does anyone else grind down the little tabs on their cases? I understand that for retail and shipping purposes they are vital, but once they come home with me, these little tabs get dremeled off.

Anyone else with me on this? I like the tray to HOLD the tool, not imprison it. If it takes two hands to pull a wrench out of the tray, something isn't right.

No, but good idea.

Mine go right into the recycling bin.

Mine go right into the recycling bin.

I only keep the ones for odd shaped tools, like these, which are XL-X Beam wrenches.

never thought of it.

I use the Dremel and remove everything from the inside of the case. Then I can put anything I want in it.

mine all go on a top shelf in the corner, incase I want to use them later, people all ways asking what's in the green cases when there in my garage... empty sk cases.

If you frequently insert and remove the item into the case those nubs will wear quickly and let easy access anyway. I don't keep many blow mold cases (take up too much room) but just about any I have wear fast.

I have re purposed several blow mold cases by totally removing the inner liner.
