What make and model tool box is that? I am going to steal that idea, but of the 4-5 boxes I checked at work, about half of them were just slightly too shallow to comfortably get a reel into, so now I don't want to mail order one blind.

I think I could maybe fill half a drawer with reels, but it will give me room to grow and my actual tools are a hot mess atm, so I could use one in general.

The name brand is Maxim ... i don't recall the model. I also have a smaller one that sits on top of my work bench by Craftsman. That was my original. Low profile casting reels fit in the shallow drawer of all of them, but it's best to hit up a hardware store with a reel or two in hand to test the chests out.

Fun with PVC 8-) The beauty of PVC is it can be made in infinite configurations. This was an earlier prototype from some years back. Not much on looks but does what I need it to do which is securely hold combos between trips and during the winter down time.
