ebay item ... your opinion
I see this is ending one bay ... didn't know if this was a good deal or not
http://cgi.ebay.com/MODEL-ROCKETRY-...1QQcmdZViewItem I don't know what these cases sell for? Which leads to a question - what do you guys use with respect to storage of such parts? I don't know the person so if you don't want them to know what you are saying send me an e-mail. Just want to get and idea - might pick one up next time there is one on ebay. Thanks ez

It's just a box. If you don't need a launcher or an Alpha III or anything else, you can pick up a decent tackle box at Walmart for half the price and twice the storage capacity. But, you may find one just isn't enough.....

I got a really nice tool box at Rural King for less than ten bucks - it has a lift-out tray for smaller stuff and is large enough that I can put a launch pad in the bottom and still have room for everything else. I looked at tackle boxes, but the tool boxes were much better for the job.

Ummm, I just don't understand why you are looking on ebay for this stuff. As has been stated by others, you can get a great deal on a hand toobox, by from Sears, Lowes, Home Depot, any good outlet store, etc. Tools can be picked up at the same places. Many times Sears puts tools and stuff into bargain bins. I've found clamps, needle nose pliers, wire cutters, and other goodies for a lot less. Unless you REALLY want something from ebay, the best advice is to look around the stores near you, you will find inspiration jumping out at you. Jack NAR 4619 L2 TRA 5434 L2

That auction item is rubbish.
Avoid it unless you can get it for $1.98 or less; that's all it's worth. The alpha III even has a smashed upper body tube section.

I use a small Zag chest of drawers for my MR motors, but danged if I can find it on the web. (Looks like Stanley absorbed then eradicated Zag. Go figure.) But the Sears unit is a great starting point for a range box. The drawers are extremely helpful. If you've ever gotten frustrated rooting around in dark bottom of a box, you'll appreciate having some shallow drawers to make finding things easier. HTH. Doug .

Cases are a very personal item, and you probably won't know what you want until you've tried a couple and figure out what's best for you.
A lot of people like a fairly large Plano tackle box, with fold out compartments on top for motors, igniters, and small stuff, and a large space in the bottom for a launch pad and/or controller, larger motors, bags of wadding, etc. Others like a tool box whose top compartment is a tray that can be completely removed. I have one of those rolling mondo tool boxes where there is a major compartment on the bottom (with wheels), a major compartment on top (with a swing out multi-compartment tray at the bottom, and a removable tray on top, and a couple of handles for either picking it up out right, or pulling the entire conglomeration along the ground via the big wheels.

Go to this web site....select the Tackle drop down menu (at top of page) and then products from the drop down. From the categories list on the side of the page, select Drawer and System Boxes. From the new page, go straight ot the second page. Then click on the 3-Drawer Tackle Box. That's the one I use. Tape and glues stand up in the compartment for lurers (right hand side of box) and are accessable without opening the top. Drawers are used for motors and igniters. Side compartment gets the talcum powder and anything else that fits. Top gets building supplies and inside top gets parachutes and streamers and anything else.

Hmmm ... #1 - hmmm looking for decent deals and no I haven't read what you claim - new to board #2 - I've found some good deals on ebay #3 - If I were to get tools or boxes I would go to Harbor Freight who have such tools at prices Sears, Lowes, HD, and others could only dream of. Now if I were wanting a top grade socket set or power tool Lowes or HD or Sears might be where I would go ... then again, I've found excellent buys on good tools (Makita miter saw for one - brand new and much cheaper than buying from Sears, HD, or Lowes.) See boxes at Harbor Freight http://search.harborfreight.com/cpi...word=tool+boxes
