Mac Tool Box Synchroglide Drawer Retention

[whisperinsam33]

MAC has this drawer retention system with adjustable detents (you can set the force needed to open the drawer without having to remove the drawer). Can someone please describe, or point me to a description of, how this works?
Thanks, sam

Anybody know how this system works?

Is there somebody out there who owns a relatively recent Macsimizer? I've searched the Mac website and can't find a description of how to set the drawer opening force.

Are you wondering how to adjust the tension, or the mechanics behind it?
My box isn't adjustable, but my dad owns a macsmizer that is. If you open the drawer all the way there are screws in the back corner of the drawer. These can be tightened or loosened to adjust the tension. I haven't pulled a drawer out to see how it works.

That's one style... I think the ones he is asking about have the cam lever at the front of the drawer slide you rotate to adjust the detent.

Thank you Andy and Ruger. I will look where Andy is suggesting - this box does not have the cam lever on the drawer slide. sam

Andy! Got 'er done! Thanks, sam

Glad to hear. My dad really likes his and has the pressure set very low since he doesn't move the box. I'd like to have a macsmizer, but I got a great deal on a tech series and a snapon classic78 .
