Kreg Toolboxx System

[Aaron Brown]

I got my monthly E-mail From Highland Woodworking and seen this in it. http://www.highlandwoodworking.com/kreg-toolboxx-complete-system.aspx

I was wanting to find out some more info on this kit, but I could not find any thing on it at http://www.kregtool.com/.

This is amazing, i can't wait to have this toolbox

[MARK GARDENER]

I'm looking forward to making my own.

 

Does anybody know where I can get hinges like that? If I have to I can make my own.

Check out the Husky Model # 17187311 available at Home Depot for $29.97.

Oh so busted! It always gets me when companies simply take a cheap product, slap their colors and logo on it and jack the price up 3 fold... not just singling out Kreg here, Festool is probably the real king of 'brand jacking'.

 

Don't get me all wrong here, the Kreg case is quite nice but unfortunately I don't see it as being much better than the case that they had before..... after all, you are best to mount your Kreg Jig to a base to use it properly, right? 

 

If Kreg really wanted to make a useful and proprietary containment system for their tools then they should have made the tool useful while still in the case; essentially they could have modeled their branded [plastic] case after some of the excellent wooden/metal examples of cases & bases shown by members right here on this very website!

 

Hey Kreg, way to overlook your greatest asset when designing a new product. Better luck next time.

Mark,

You could buy the Kreg box, remove the hinges and put them on your own home made box.

I checked the Husky version. It sucks. Lowes has a better one. They are called lift hinges but I can make my own out of wood or aluminium. I'd like to make my own so I don't have to buy one.

Where can I get it in Canada?

If you fill up the top compartments with screws and then take out the jig does the box fall over ?

[Dan Kressin]

It shouldn't -- there's a plastic leg on the back that supports the tray when open.
