I picked up this uh case and I need some ideas for better dividers because this foam isn't going to last. but maybe a couple weeks, maybe a month or something before these guys break. But I'm able to fit all my zoom lock Max press Jaws in here and then my Water Press jaws and again I don't do anything big so I've only got one inch, three quarter and half inch for plumbing and then inch and an eighth all the way down to quarter inch which is what I use for press. So I'm looking for ideas from you guys.
Do you guys have any ideas for a better insert set up here to kind of keep everything divided? I like the size of this case because I can consolidate everything into one case and then I have a perfect little storage space for it right there. But I just need a little bit of your help.
Buy some polyethylene foam in sheets and cut to size. I've done this with similar peli case.
What about thinking outside the box so I've been fighting organizing my tool boxes what if you put cut out that section where the Jaws are and put a a plier Rack in there you would have to size it out but they make wire ones they make plastic ones and it might fit in there just a thought
I saw something on @colinfurze channel about his barn tools
Use expanding foam you can always fill it back in any time
Fab up a custom sheet metal divider! Service area Nepean??
Theres a fellow youtuber who made an solution its called shadowfoam @ShadowFoam
spray some "Plasti Dip" onto the foam to make it more firm and last longer. The jaw dividers might need to be made with a hard product but the rest of the foam would do well with Plasti Dip.
Some cheap, I will buy foam pad husky or some other brand and cut it like the way is the case foam. Service area Kanata??
There are companies who will make custom foam inserts for stuff like this instead of using the pick and pull foam. It is just custom cut to fit using either laser, a water jet. For a more DIY approach look into a product called Kaizen Foam it is a more firm foam. You cut out the areas that you want using the standard utility knife. I’ve seen people also using router or hot knives as well and install in the case.
For stools/equipment to heavy for boxfoam, i cut strips of aluminum for the height of the tool and put a small 90 degree bend on one end and glue that to the bottom of the case (or aluminum backplate). Basically make divider reinforcements. I used to glue felt to the aluminum to prevent scratching but these days i use ShadowFoam. Are you in Nepean ?
Cut in the middle of the foam slits and slide a small plate of plastic or something and glue it in between the slit. That could work.
Jesus loves you god bless
How well do the zoom locks work? I used to sell propress when I worked at a boiler wholesaler and most of the time it was perfectly fine.
Plastic inserts
What about plastic divders
working with what I've got plenty on hand of would use the corrugated plastic material used for festival menu signage by Coca Cola and Miller Service area Barrhaven??
In case you want some more firm foam, I work at a factory that produces it for industrial grade protection cases. Would gladly ship you a block or some sheets.
3d printed box inserts into the foam before they break. Distributing the pressure will preserve the original foam Are you in Orleans ?
Id go to Nanuk,and have them make you something! You send them the info they make what you need.
The Harbor freight sells real thick heavy duty phone that's made for. Standing on. That works good in those situations.
If your on a budget you could wood work good dividers and router them for fancyness and better fits 🤷♂️👀
superglue or adhesive, high tickness clear plastic sheet, and a recip saw. cut some inserts for the foam
How about cutting some plexiglass to fit in between the foam? Are you in Ottawa ?
Milwaukee has much better foam for their packout cases you might be able to cut it down to fit inside yours
Try shadow foam it works so good
Can those heads be locked closed when off the tool?
You could close them onto whatever each crimps and somehow string them(braze) together on to a rod so you clamp them on and keep them together
KAIZEN FOAM
Tool bag toss it all in
Someone with a 3D printer is gonna be your best friend there
That’s the perfect job for a 3D printer. Some robust prints made out of PETG would do the trick.
I think that hard styrofoam would work well (i don't mean the regular insulation stuff that is soft and fragile, i mean those hard heavier blocks which don't scatter), you could carve out all the shapes you need into it. 3D printed plastic could possibly work too but its much more fragile than styrofoam.
I'd 3d print you something, I need dimensions.
try wood
kinda leaning to some wooden inserts with slots cut into
3d print how you want it organized at put that in foam. Less wear.
3d print
Can always go polystyrene or polymer inserts inside the foam… contact a 3d printer and have them explore for you very cheap option
3d print? ive also bought drawer inserts for a few of my car tool boxes. amazon has some nice DIY plastic foam .
You can find some thin polystyrene and use foam on the outside of it. Kind of like a polystyrene sandwich.
3d printinted Are you in Barrhaven ?
Check out Shadow Foam it's denser, so shouldn't deform so much, eliminating rapid deterioration thru tearing
