Big Toolbox Features Rotating Trays

Big Toolbox Features Rotating Trays FARM SHOP Tools 30-3-38 Wanted: A few good tool users to test and report back on a new power toolbox. The Tool Turn toolbox is a new product not yet in production. Inventor Jim Young and business partner Pauline Allen are building 20 units and looking for a cross section of people to try them out. "Ideally, we would like to see a couple of farmers, carpenters, electricians, plumbers, heavy construction workers, utility, government or municipality workers try out prototypes," says Allen. "We want them to evaluate it and provide suggestions for improvement before we go into full scale production." Young has already crash-tested his prototype. He flipped his truck, totaled it out and ended up in the hospital with a broken arm. The toolbox, which had been in the back (with no restraint), survived without a problem. In fact, it is pictured with this story, but in a new truck. The 24-in. wide, 64-in. long and 23-in. high toolbox is designed to sit in a full size pickup box. It is available in diamond tread pattern aluminum or powder-coated black. Each tray is 4 by 12 by 21 in. A switch on the left side turns the device on, while a toggle switch on the right rotates the trays. Suggested retail price is expected to be around $2,495. Allen and Young plan to offer a significant discount to testers and a money back guarantee. "Once they have reported back on features they like or dislike, they can get their money back," says Allen. "If they like the concept, but dislike the prototype, they can give it back and apply the money against the improved production model, or they can keep their prototype" Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Pauline Allen, Tool Turn, 12985 Tom Smith Rd., Henderson, Ky. 42420 (ph 270 860-6633;auline@toolturn.net).
