Those containers have recycling logos on them but the last ones I tried to take to the recycling centre wouldn't take them. You're a smart cookie giving them a second life 👍
I have saw videos where people use them (cases) for making solar chargers. Good Idea. Thanks for sharing your thoughts & ideas. Could be helping many. Thanks I still use my containers because it’s just more easy for me.
Very crafty Steve! I do tend to keep my tools in their own cases but I have a couple from tools that bit the dust. I might make a tool case for my little one to stop him running off with mine 😂
Great video Steve! Those cases are to good to throw away. You can find something for them that’s for sure. I use milk jugs for washing my paint brushes out with, I use Ryobi tools and they always come in a nice canvas bag and I put my Manuel’s and different things in them. Thanks for,sharing your idea too, it was a good one!
Don't be goofing around with knives Steve! I had a bunch of plastic cases from various tools that I was saving that I just got rid of when they had a "big bin event" here earlier this summer. Good idea!
In the last house I had I built shelves in the bathroom, put up tongue & groove paneling on part of the wall and put a tile backsplash in the kitchen. It all turned out beautiful.
Use a oscillating tool like a fein tool works awesome I do the same thing. I pick these cases up for a buck a piece at yard sales I use them for everything nail guns to grinders
I tried using a router style bit with a dremmel and it was just too hard to make a clean cut. I didn't think to even try that disc. Great video and great example of reusing those tool cases. thanks.
Once I buy the tool the case normally gets sold at a flee market for a dollar. In a few cases I kept the cases (ha ha). Especially when there are a lot of small parts associated with the tool. But as usual, I like your approach to how you re-purpose something.
Yes and show what you can think up. I seen one on an atv attached to the back on a set of aluminum tracks under the rear rack to put stuff in - I thought it was a good idea and waterproof.
I hate throw anything out but somethings you have to part with or then you become a hoarder? great how to vid Steve great idea too a lot easier to carry around in then a Sobeys Bag 🤣🤣🤣
harbor freight is selling cases with that egg crate looking foam in it and you cut it to whatever you need. my friend uses them for extra spark plugs for there funny car. perhaps you can get some of that foam next??
It's nice when you see a quality case for your new tools but then you never use them again. I'm not sure what to put in my cases.btw if you just cut things with knives and don't goof around you won't cut yourself. Pro tip 😂😂jk
Well almost every power tool I purchased the case is not ever used but the manufacturers are providing the same kits in just recyclable cardboard shipping boxes more and more . Cheers
Brilliant Mate!! I throw them cases up in the garage attic, never to be seen again!!☺
I had this one for a while before I found a use :) Cheers
I'm glad you called it 'the landfill' instead of 'the garbage'. Ever since I saw one in a small town, I do the same.
Good thing to do. Cheers Adam
Nice way to repurpose the cases. Much better than tossing them out......Take care, Bluefin.
Thanks and it's a great way to transport some nails for small jobs . A bit different. Cheers
Well what a awesome idea! Steve your very talented!
Thanks but it's more like i'm too cheap to buy a nail case. LOL
Those containers have recycling logos on them but the last ones I tried to take to the recycling centre wouldn't take them. You're a smart cookie giving them a second life 👍
Thanks and yes your correct black plastic is not recyclable here either.
Great idea Steve. I had a great big DeWalt case that I gave to goodwill. I should have kept it to pack out deer ha ha ha. Good stuff buddy.
HAHA you sure have some small deer in michigan eh :)
STEVE ROB REVIEWS
Only where I hunt.
I have saw videos where people use them (cases) for making solar chargers. Good Idea. Thanks for sharing your thoughts & ideas. Could be helping many. Thanks I still use my containers because it’s just more easy for me.
Its a good way of finding things to reuse because as soon as you throw it out you will say hey I could have used that :)
Very crafty Steve! I do tend to keep my tools in their own cases but I have a couple from tools that bit the dust. I might make a tool case for my little one to stop him running off with mine 😂
Thanks and that's a great idea as i had to have my own tool kit when i was a young lad . It was an 8 quart vegetable basket but it was mine. LOL
Yeah the toy one isn't cutting it anymore lol he wants real tools!!! The apple doesn't fall far from the tree eh?
Great video Steve! Those cases are to good to throw away. You can find something for them that’s for sure. I use milk jugs for washing my paint brushes out with, I use Ryobi tools and they always come in a nice canvas bag and I put my Manuel’s and different things in them. Thanks for,sharing your idea too, it was a good one!
Thanks Becky and the milk jug idea is a good idea too. I bet lots of people would like to see that too and not just throw them in the recycling bin.
Don't be goofing around with knives Steve! I had a bunch of plastic cases from various tools that I was saving that I just got rid of when they had a "big bin event" here earlier this summer.
Good idea!
Its hard to find a tool in a case anymore it's all bags. Were always thinking Eh :)
I like to re-purpose things too. You're right, it's better than filling up a landfill.
All you have to do is get Steve to start buying you power tools. LOL
I do have some of my own. I'm pretty handy with them, believe it or not.
Val I bet you would do so well with the odd vid of you showing how to do something handy. Try one and see . 👍
In the last house I had I built shelves in the bathroom, put up tongue & groove paneling on part of the wall and put a tile backsplash in the kitchen. It all turned out beautiful.
Another great video, thanks Steve
Thank you for taking a look. Cheers
Good idea and easy too.
Thanks terry and most can do the same cheers.
Using all cases for other purposes is great! I do the same thing also. 😀👍
Terry it can be challenging on some to get the liners out , this one the plastic was thin but some are a bear to get out.
Nicely Done!!
Thanks you it does the job. Cheers
Use a oscillating tool like a fein tool works awesome I do the same thing. I pick these cases up for a buck a piece at yard sales I use them for everything nail guns to grinders
I wish I had one or them tools they would be awesome for a job like that. Cheers Richard
A smart thing to do with those containers!!!
Thanks Mike and it's so easy to do. Cheers
Great idea Buddy! Otherwise these cases just sit around. Thanks!
Yes and sometimes the cases are so pretty we just can't throw them out. LOL
Nice job mate
Thanks Leon
I tried using a router style bit with a dremmel and it was just too hard to make a clean cut. I didn't think to even try that disc. Great video and great example of reusing those tool cases. thanks.
Glad to have been a help. Cheers
I modify them as well for other tools .Not a big fan of the tool bags they come with these days !!! Rather have in a case .Cheers Steve .
Yes they're all tool bags today and I use them as well . Just waited till I had a reuse for it. Cheers
Oh ya now you need my artistic drawing painting to name your box! Nail box!!! so you know whats in your boxes!
I use a paint stick and wrote nails. HAHA
I used to use a Dremel until I discovered that a multi-use tool works even better.
Good idea 👍
Very nice Steve!
Thanks Rick !!!
Nice job Buddy. Reuse, repurpose, recycle. That's using the old 7 P's.
Thanks Marty and being frugal helps with the cause too. Cheers
Once I buy the tool the case normally gets sold at a flee market for a dollar. In a few cases I kept the cases (ha ha). Especially when there are a lot of small parts associated with the tool. But as usual, I like your approach to how you re-purpose something.
Thanks Wyatt and its another vid too. LOL
Love this idea of reuse and repurpose!! :-)) Way to go!! Sustainability!!! :-D
Thank you !!!
Good idea I'll have to keep my cases
Yes and show what you can think up. I seen one on an atv attached to the back on a set of aluminum tracks under the rear rack to put stuff in - I thought it was a good idea and waterproof.
Good idea !
Thanks Norm - now I want you to think about that "GOOD IDEA" for the next vid . LOL
Buddy we toss those cases all the time at work... I think I'll snag the next one and see if I can repurpose it. Thumb's up!
Yes their great for 100 ft extension cords too plus so many other things . Cheers bud.
100 ft'ers? Hell I just connect a bunch of those 6ft indoor cords. LMAO!!!
Nice!
Thanks Jay.
A bit different is always good! Growth and change! :-)))
Yes and i'm a bit different as well :)
I use mine for other expensive tools that don’t come in boxes. Like nailers and drills.
The last couple of tool I bought all had bags instead of nice cases.
Cool. I want to reuse/repurpose my father’s cases for my stationery 😍😍😍..
Great idea !!!
I hate throw anything out but somethings you have to part with or then you become a hoarder? great how to vid Steve great idea too a lot easier to carry around in then a Sobeys Bag 🤣🤣🤣
HAHA a Sobeys bag
harbor freight is selling cases with that egg crate looking foam in it and you cut it to whatever you need. my friend uses them for extra spark plugs for there funny car. perhaps you can get some of that foam next??
Great idea if we had a HF up here . I hate throwing out the cases , most times it's better than the tool :)
perhaps you can buy some on amazon or a memory foam mattress from a garage sale? : )
Garage sale eh HAHAHA
Ive got a shitton of these and have some great ideas. One being a pistol range case.👍🏼👍🏼
Yes great idea and it doesn't look like anything else but just a power tool inside - ok with lots of power :)
STEVE ROB REVIEWS ready to drive some nails.. lol
Cool
Hi Terry .
It's nice when you see a quality case for your new tools but then you never use them again. I'm not sure what to put in my cases.btw if you just cut things with knives and don't goof around you won't cut yourself. Pro tip 😂😂jk
HAHA thanks bud I always enjoy a pro tip.
Lmao, thanks great idea.
No problem 👍
I like the shirt
Nice racks are always a crowd pleaser :)
Just don't take it to the airport with you!
HAHA yes good idea buddy much appreciated .
Shame on dewalt company, they don’t make hard cases for finish guns.
Plastic power tool cases should be illegal.
Well almost every power tool I purchased the case is not ever used but the manufacturers are providing the same kits in just recyclable cardboard shipping boxes more and more . Cheers
