Tool organization is a big challenge for tool users. No matter we are a professional who needs and use tools on regular basis to complete the job requirements or the one who use them just in case of emergency, the use of properly organized and stored tools helps to make the job much easy.
Tool organization is not a particular technique or complicated process that needs good training or experience, it is a process that needs just a good storage box to store the tolls and a tool control case foam in it to prevent the movement of the tools. The purpose behind the use of tool case foam in a drawer or tool storage box is to properly store the tools and prevent them from any kind of damage or loss. To utilize all the benefits of a tool control case foam, it is important to buy the best one as per the requirement. Here are some things that one can consider before buying a tool control case foam.
Size:-
It is the size of a tool control case foam on which the functioning and benefits of a tool foam and that of a box depends. Having a normal ready-to-use control case, prevent the user from enjoying the benefits/ similarly not using a tool insert foam in a storage box also makes it tough to find the right tool quickly as per the requirement and also includes the risk of scratches, etc.
So for effective results, it is better to choose a tool control case foam, exactly as per the tool’s size and that of the storage box. In case you find it tough to get the perfect match, then it is better to customize your foam case as per the dimensions of the storage box and tools.
Type:-
Another thing that you should consider while buying a tool control foam is the type of foam. Choosing the type of foam as per the requirement and choice helps to get the right product along with the satisfaction. Make sure that the thickness of the foam and its strength is as per the number of your tools and material and storage capacity of your tool storage box. Choosing the wrong foam size makes it tough for the foam to fit perfectly in the storage box.
Number of Cut-Outs:-
It is not just the quality of the storage box and type of insert foam that makes the storage easy, the number of cutouts in the foam also matters a lot. In the case of ordering a customized foam, it is better to mention the number of tools and provide the right measurement to the company.
In case you are buying a ready-to-use foam then make sure that it will have sufficient cut out to properly store each tool in the storage box. Also, make sure that you have given sufficient space for each cut out in the foam case inserts. The depth and layout of the foam cuts must be as per the dimensions of the tools. This helps to ensure that each tool will stay safe and will not move even while traveling.
