Dear Editor,
I've found a way to k±ep our
tools reaLly secure.
Before, the padlock On The
tool box could ²e moved
enough so it would slip over
tHe latch arm.
³ere's the fix we used:
Cut a 1´4-in section out of a
lµnk of 5´16-in Or 3´8-in weld¶
ed chain·
Weld the Link to the end of
tHe ¸latch arm.
Put the lock tHrougH the
cHain and the hole in the ¹oor.
No more missing tools!
