F|sh are you the man to speak to about getting some tools/cabinets?

[Cplus]

Expect those cabnets to be cheaper next year as they are /might be obsolete

better not be too much cheaper!!!

rudi i can help you regarding the tool boxes and roll cabinets.

Clark rubber has this thin rubber mat which is much much cheaper than sheets of foam. I think it cost about $30 to do my rollcab.

After working for a rubber mob the lads in the factory made me up some matting for my boxes. The only advice I can give you is to go for the acid free stuff. The lads mentioned to me something about this, acid is part of the manufacturing process. Or so I've been told.

I figure acid + pretty chrome tools = ugly rusted etched tools.

Stanley in Australia own and distribute the Sidchrome brand, which recently featured in the other PF tool thread.

The cliff notes being that it appears they do not stand behind their warranty, unless Aaron Hogan has some updates?
