My point are to inform you and entertain you , with my story .
I needed to get one multimeter case , so to protect the newcomer Fluke 87-5 ,
even against little accidents , that happens mostly indoors on the repairs bench.
So I started to look for something soft in the begging , and discovered that CD cases of 120CDs wallet type, could be possible used for this task.
I always collect info about three alternatives in any of my problems , and at the end, I pick the best.
By keep searching for the " alternative " No2, I found an small aluminum hard case in a local shop,
but inside it was had a microphone !! at the Price of 35 EUR .. ( I did think to grab the case and toss the microphone ) ... but I kept looking for the alternative No3 ...
And then found the " Beauty vanity nails " etc etc
Its a great case, exactly what I had in mind , it can protect two multimeters ,
against flying solder , from the tip of my soldering iron, or accidental drop of tools , on the multimeters.
I did have an small hard case ( picture No2 ) , but hey this one looks and are the perfect one.
The point are that when you need an special item like this, that its possible the solution that you seek,
to be an part or tool , of another profession far from yours , and you will never find it .
Because you did not looked that far ..
This box cost to me as 22 Euro .
And its the best price for an hard box of this quality .. and size .
Today also got , an similar aluminum tools case "classic size " , for 28 Euro ,
and the quality are much lower from the "Beauty-vanity one" , but still good enough . ( last picture )
Free to comment as always
No1: The "Beauty"
No2: The "bad looking sister "
No3: New Tool case " From the local Praktiker " (made in China)
PS: Dave , do not make any comments for the multimeter pictured on the tool case.
We could possibly have and Chinese viewers .. around..
LOL hell LOL ..
