    I want to say that tha you may have missed economy of design so using the top 3 drawers. These may not given you the best bang for the buck. The HF toolbox’s may not be the cheapest way to go further some storage system have draw bins that are designed for the drawer some of these are just dividers that mate with slots around the drawer edge, yes that will not allow you carry off the whole bin to work out of. But that will put your bins in a location where they can become contaminated with abrasive dust, melted or dropped and cracked or broke. I figured you cutdown all of your bins and ordered extras but what was the minimum order. I will watch for updates on your system.

    • @GrindhousePerformance
      @GrindhousePerformance 3 місяці тому

      Hey thanks! I'm personally not a fan slotted dividers. I played with the idea of laser cutting slotted inserts for the drawers, but they don't have the same level of modularity and over time the hardware starts to migrate to neighboring slots. The more adjustability (unused slots) you add, the more likely everything is to move around. I do like being able to move bins around the drawers and change them out for other sizes that fit in the same grid space. Being able to move them around the shop has been really useful. I don't think they have a minimum order.. so far I'm really happy with everything!
