Custom DA Holders with Cord Storage

[Detailing by M]

After spending over $1,000 dollars on DA's and Buffers I just didn't want that kind of investment laying in a box or thrown around my van.
I made these little boxes to securely hold my tools and more importantly the cord. Those cords get tangled up in everything.

1/2 inch ply wood for the face makes for a strong foundation.
I lined the "U" with felt to make sure the tool stays looking good.
I'll paint them black when I paint the interior so they don't look pretty.

This one is for my Rupes Bigfoot. A $400 dollar tool needs a good home.

Cord goes in first that's what the channel is for

This one is for my G110

The box needs to be big enough to hold the cord but then I needed to put in little spacer at the top to go
behind the backing plate and keep the tool in it's place

Looks good! These boxes can go anywhere. As I put more stuff in my van things need to move around and these are great little tool holders.

They look good, although some carpet on the exterior would really give them a nice look. Just my $.02

Looks really nice!

Nice invention, looks great. I like the carpet suggestion also. BTW remember to give your cords a little more room where they connect to the handle. I find this is where most cords fail and bending them sharply puts undue stress on this area.

Thank you all for the compliments, I really appreciate your feedback.

Once I find the right place for these and the other 6 I have to build
I'm going to paint these and the entire interior black and you wont even see them.
