Storing your PC... case/box?

integraoligist · 06-27-05, 12:49

I finally got my new PC 7336sp... and wanted to know, what do all of you store your PC in? and what about all the Pads?

i saw a toolbox somewhere on-line that is fitted for the PC, anyone have it? not sure if it fit any of the pads in the box though.

I have the fitted plastic Porter Cable box that was made for it, got it from Detailer's Paradise. A lot of people use a metal box that is sold for it at Coastal Tool, I believe.

I use this:

I can store all my backing plates in there too. There's a cut out for your PC wrench too

Yep, that's the one!

Setec,I think I caught a glimpse of yours in the photo on DC.

My long deceased Waxmaster orbitals weren't a total waste, I salvaged the two piece plastic container from one before I demolished my last one and now hold my PC in it.

I too keep one in the fitted plastic case, along with the backing plates. I wish it had just a *little* better fit where the cord comes out of the PC though, [sigh] guess nothing's perfect.

I still keep my older one in the cardboard box it came it. Been well over a decade and it's holding up OK.

Heh heh, I used the orginal cardboard box for my older Cyclo for over 20 years, but they gave me a new one when I sent it in for a once-over.

I keep my used pads in Ziplocks, in a drawer unit along with a few new ones. The rest of the spares are in a big Rubbermaid Roughneck container.

Just out of curiosity, does the PC fit in there easily? I have 4 Porter Cable sanders & they fit in their respective cases with a lot of difficulty.

As Accumulator said, the cord is a little bit of a problem...the whole thing...once you've got it closed it's great...but it kinda locates half in one half and half in the other...you really don't know if you have it in the right place until you try and close it...it could be better, but once it's closed, it can't move around.

You're like my father and grandfather (and me

)

They have kept EVERYTHING in their original cardboard boxes. I have their stuff that goes back to the 40's in the original, MINT boxes including owner's manuals and warranty cards! Boxes for cameras, Stetson hats, electronics, radios, etc... You name it I have it including a few original first generation 35mm camera boxes and unused flash bulbs in boxes from the 40's too. All the boxes are cool. You can display them as antiques! Maybe I'll snap a pic or two. One thing for sure is all 3 of us are (were

) very organized!

kompressornsc, the PC fits beautifully in that case. I scatter the backing plates around the corners and there is plenty of room to wind up the cord. A worthwhile investment

Tomorrow, I'll snap a pic and post it.

Hey, me three regarding the Cyclo, yep, in the cardboard box also. There isn't a special case that is made especially for it that I'm aware of. I think Anthonoy Orosco has a big plastic case for his rotary and Cyclo together but the cardboard box on the shelf is fine with me.
