Model Forum / General / Rockets / April 2006

Well, how can I NOT respond to this. You're more than welcome.

The 4 drawer model you're selling is their 858, which is IDENTICAL except
for color to the fishing 758. The one I've been using for the past decade is
the 759/7592, which is almost identical, except the top section is a bit
deeper, and has slots for 5 of the 3500 series storage boxes. I've got one
of these with all my 18/24/29 RMS parts, another with competition chutes,
another with spare parts, etc. I'd recommend it over the 858/758 for
rocketeers like me who have "too much of everything". It also replaces 2 of
the drawers with large plastic storage boxes, that hold 29/38mm reload
casings, HPR chutes, and other goodies. The advantage of the boxes is that
you can buy extras, and take the ones you need: I have seperate ones for
sport launches and competition.

The tool box that I really liked for tools, that's sitting in my garage
workbench, they discontinued: the 873. It had really big drawers that would
be perfect for HPR fliers, but no dividers. There's nothing even close to it
in their catalog any more.

Their factory is in the far SW Chicago suburbs, so every now and then I stop
by their outlet store and pick up stuff for REAL cheap. I've never seen so
many tackle and tool boxes in one place. And as Doug says, they stand behind
their products. My 7592 is WAY overloaded heavy. At NARAM-44 I broke the
handle taking it into the motel from the car. When I got home I called them
up to see if I could buy a replacement handle. One arrived in the mail the
next day, no charge. For a box I bought in their outlet store!
