I inherited a Schlage lock boring jig from my granddad, it was probably purchased in the 1960's and it was used hard, put away wet. Templaco is renowned for hinge jigs and door boring tools, they also rebuild lock boring jigs. I packaged up the jig and sent it off. They replaced all of the brass bushings in the jig, machined a new aluminum dead-bolt insert, and they are a source for some of the baddest-ass forstner bits in the country. The whole kit has been reincarnated thanks to Templaco.

This is a perfect example of what I think a Systainer excels at - keeping a tool and all its accessories in one place with a lid and a handle. Also the cost of the Systainers will prevent them from just being tossed in a corner and forgotten.
