Josh Barton - 22nd December

Toolbox latch broke... my Greeks just can't catch a break (thankfully it's minimal damage though!)

I've always been worried about that happening. That's why I stopped using them. Tool boxes, not Greeks.

The new system is large flat multi compartment plastic storage containers. With paper steel on the bottom.

Easier storage, just a bit more difficul… See more

and since I rely on public transport at times, tbh I'll prbably still keep using them (not that one though!)

Philip Gates Once I have sorted out what army I'm using and put it in a toolbox, I put eveything I need into a largeish sports bag. So far I've no problem with it and I use public transport almost all the time.

15 mm do much better at about 28% of mass each, force is mass times accelleration.....

Did the latch break off or just turn to the open position and “fall out” for lack of a better term?

For the latter I used to lock the latch in with a wooden peg (on a string) through the latch loop.

Russell Briant opened position, but it's gotten really loose - could you show me?

Josh Barton does it have a padlock loop? If so just replacing putting a padlock through that with a wooden dowel to stop the catch being able to come open and make it easier to remove.

Personally given the love-hate relationship Josh has with his Thebans, he decided to punish them for losing last weekend by leaving the catch undone.

Alastair Duncan undoubtedly a homily from Homer.... though possibly Simpson rather than the long winded poet...
