A little box with velvet lining on the inside I found at a discount store.

The ammo box is a good idea.

I've been toying with the idea of buying a Pelican Case for my gear. I love the cases and there's a certain level of badassery of flipping one open and pulling your gear out.

If you don't already have a place where you can get a good deal on them, let me know if you decide to do this. I may be able to get you a little bit of a deal from a local place that carries them. I thought about using a Pelican Case but in the end I got cheap and used an old fashioned hard sided briefcase that I had laying around the house.

Hi Duramax, nice collection you've started. Ilike that Federal / Pacific padlock underneath the Brinks Shrouded. Hoping to get one of those soon.


This was my collection as of September 2007:

Thats a no name lock i sell at work(about 18$ my cost). They are for tractor trailers. I cant pick that one or that brinks. I had 2 of those padlocks but took the 1st one apart. there are to 2 sets of serrated pins with 3 pins per stack(if my terminology is correct) from what i could tell. i never dismantled one of those before and pins went everywhere. :o


nice setup you have

Hey Squelchtone, looks like you're going to need special insurance to cover your lock collection soon :wink:
