Systainer Fail!

[Jonhilgen]

One is user error, the other is a bummer.  Who wants to sell me a handle?

Both elicted swear words followed by laughter

Nothing like a game of 1000 screw pick up to round a day off

 

[fritter63]

Do you have the vacuum attachment that will pick those up and sort them for you?..... [cool]

NAINA I'm afraid. [tongue]

 

[dltflt]

There is nothing worse than dropping screws or nails.

 

[Jonhilgen]

It's a blessing I disguise...got to purge some stuff and get it organized nicely again.  Dean, you nailed it.  Great way to end day.

Then this happened!

I have an old car-loudspeaker that I use for picking up nails and screws. I just make sure I don't drop brass!

I don't have space for NAINA...  ;D

Screw spillage I get. (been I victim a few times myself).  But Jon, how the heck did you break the handle?

Strong like bull!

Too many systainers attached (three beneath the broken handle).  But still surprising that it happened.

 

[Sparktrician]

Didn't I hear you say something that sounded like "SysRoll"?

Meh, sysroll, syshmol.  I can carry six systainers straight to my truck much quicker than wrangling a dolly on a new construction work site.  Usually, the handles don't break!    [tongue]

Besides, I'd rather spend the money on tools.

[semenza]

Surprised the handle broke like that ! Seems odd.

Jon,  T - LOC !  [wink]  [tongue]  [big grin]

[wow]

That is indeed a sad sight. And a bummer for you. Hope it's all better soon!

Getting back to the screws for a moment (although I agree the handle is a bummer!); I have a personal superstition in that any individual nail or screw that is dropped three times is telling me it does not want to be part of this project.

So tell them, two more times and they are out!!   [eek]

 

[Deansocial]

Glue the handle with solvent weld.

 

[Wonderwino]

And reinforce with Gorilla tape, now available in camo, so no one will ever know....  [big grin]

 

[rst]

If you try to glue it back, use plastic modeling cement, the cases are ABS plastic.  Glue the handle and then fill the handle with spray foam for added support and then use reinforced packing tape to wrap. 

 

[Deansocial]

Simple solvent weld is strong enough. I broke a hinge on a sys 1 full of drill bit and glued it. It's been fine since
