Lol, Now I got your attention.
I need to get a better box for all my electrical connectors, crimpers and all the other bits. I dropped mine last week end and broke my little finger trying to save it from the fall. At the Pimp Healy's ride meet up I did see an impressive box there. I went to SCA and Bunnings but have failed to find a good big box that will have enough compartments for all the different connectors, plus room for the crimpers, strippers, heat shrink, soldering iron, zip ties, etc etc etc.
I need a nice, usable box...

Dunno who's it was. It was a case that held all their electrical bits and bobs... I have too much of it now and hyper extending the end joint on the pinky 90degrees backwards wasn't fun. Atleast the swelling has gone and I can move it now.
But yeah it was a case or box, which ever you like to call it.

Was at one yesty doing some contract work there, they had sweet f.a. I have 12 other SCA's also BCF's to go through in the coming weeks so I'll have to keep a look out.
Something like a fishing box would be could actually. But it needs lots of small sealed compartments for all the connectors and then some space for the tools.
