What’s in my tool box Edition 2016.
Here at the Low Voltage garage, Ben from Avalon Equipment takes us through what’s in his kit. We’ve been building squad cars and emergency vehicle equipment for the last few decades (combined experience) This kit was developed for accessibility and ease of use! It’s far less stressful working on projects when you know where your tools are, and not spread out all over the shop space!
Police cars, Fire command vehicles, or even working “on the road” for service calls and short projects away from home base. A maneuverable and compact setup works great! Another example of why “simple is better”
