So I’ve always been a fan of a well-organized toolbox to take with me to bike races and weekend bike trips. Abbey Tools a few months ago released a Team Issue Toolbox (https://www.abbeybiketools.com/products/team-issue-toolbox-2019) with a well-organized foam inserts arranging many tools. After seeing this tool box it inspired me to build my own foam insert tool box. With some additional ideas found on Tool Box Wars Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/toolboxwars/?hl=en) I started my own Tool Box Project. For those that are interested in building their own foam insert tool box for themselves you are welcome to watch my video to learn how I did it and what I learned for next time.
