OK, Wrenches, I'm grateful for this list, as the Veto Pro Pac is something I had never heard of, and I like the products on the website (<a target="_blank" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.vetopropac.com/products">http://www.vetopropac.com/products</a>). Several of you have made this recommendation. So which model do you prefer, and why?

I call it my 90% box because it carries 90% of the<br> tools I use regularly. It has loops and pockets inside the lid for pliers,<br> cutters, and screwdrivers. It has a partition system in the rest with an<br> internal lid. I think it was billed as an office equipment repairman's case.<br> The problem is that the hinges are broken and the partitions have<br> deteriorated to uselessness. I need a new case. This one wasn't ideal, so<br> I'm looking for suggestions.<br> <br> Thanks,<br> <br> Hilton<br> <br> --<br> Hilton Dier III<br> Renewable Energy Design<br> Partner, Solar Gain LLC<br> 453 East Hill Rd.<br> Middlesex, VT 05602<br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> List sponsored by Home Power magazine<br> <br> List Address: <a moz-do-not-send="true" target="_blank" href="mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> Options & settings:<br> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> List-Archive:<br> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> List rules & etiquette:<br> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm" target="_blank">www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm</a><br> <br> Check out participant bios:<br> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.members.re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">www.members.re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> _______________________________________________<br> List sponsored by Home Power magazine<br> <br> List Address: <a moz-do-not-send="true" target="_blank" href="mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> Options & settings:<br> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> List-Archive: <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> List rules & etiquette:<br> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm" target="_blank">www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm</a><br> <br> Check out participant bios:<br> <a moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.members.re-wrenches.org" target="_blank">www.members.re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> </blockquote> </div> <hr>_______________________________________________<br> List sponsored by Home Power magazine<br> <br> List Address: <a target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true" href="mailto:RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org">RE-wrenches@lists.re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> Options & settings:<br> <a target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org">http://lists.re-wrenches.org/options.cgi/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> List-Archive: <a target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org">http://lists.re-wrenches.org/pipermail/re-wrenches-re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> List rules & etiquette:<br> <a target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm">www.re-wrenches.org/etiquette.htm</a><br> <br> Check out participant bios:<br> <a target="_blank" moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.members.re-wrenches.org">www.members.re-wrenches.org</a><br> <br> </div> </blockquote> </span> <br> <fieldset class="mimeAttachmentHeader"></fieldset> <br> <pre wrap="">_______________________________________________
