Got this old tool box, spent way more time than I wanted to fix it.

Was looking for a tool box on market place, didn’t want to spend a lot, didn’t want to travel far to get it. Saw this for sale 2 miles from my house, at a reasonable price. Arranged to meet the gentleman to pick it up. By the time we met, it was dark and staring to rain. The box was outside under a tarp. It looked rough, the draws did not work well, but I liked the draw configuration. I offered him half what he wanted, and he was happy. When I got the box home, it was much worse condition than it appeared with my flash light. I spent much more time than I wanted yo fix it, plus bought lots of spray paint, wire wheels, sanding pads,etc.. had to remove and wire wheel every draw slide, and the the receiver tracks on the draws and box. It seems to be working well now, glad it’s done

Best way to secure heat pex

What’s the best way to attach 1” heat pex to a wall surface. Leaving enough space to wrap with fiberglass insulation.
Ideally attached over the insulation, not notching the insulation around brackets. I prefer not to use split rings and threaded rod

Knocked it off the second floor, 12’ fall to the concrete.

I’m actually kind of surprised it broke. I’ve dropped them from significant heights lots of times. Some times I toss them off the roof onto the grass.l. It’s been a fair run, this one is from 2019. Although… it does still work, maybe I’ll try to tape it .
