    I picked this up today. It works great. It's a deep plano box and it holds a pile of chains. I have about 12 in it right now. I have 3 or 4 .325x72 in the front, 5 3/8x72 in the middle, and 3 3/8x91 in the back. I was looking at chain lockers, but the price was way too high. This was $10 at fleet farm. I'll pick up a few more and have one for each saw. That way I have a slot for dull chains so I don't have to dig for the sharp ones. 20220502_174714.jpg

    That looks nice, might have to get one myself. I've been carrying spares in the factory carboard boxes but after a while, their lid flaps wear out.

    EDIT: I don't have a F&F, can you share measurements please or the model #?

    Now that looks neat! Plano, made in IL near Joliet if I remember correctly. Thanks for the specific example, makes it harder for me to ignore it!

    Yep, made in usa. I just bought a new hose and fittings for my splitter. The hose is made in usa and the fittings are made in china. Total cost was about $23. A custom hose was over $50! They wanted $20 PER FITTING! And they were probably from china too....Just nuts.
