Long Beach Swap Meet -- Sunday, July 14, 2019 -- Blue-Point Tool Box - Took out the drawers -- Part 25



The lock tab is bent -- used a hammer to bend it back straight


There's a couple of dents/spits in the back.  Will take out the drawers so that I can hammer the surface back close to flush.


Blue-Point sells a very similar tool box currently;  KRW83C & it sells for $146.  I think the C stands for made in China...



The bottom is bent.  Will try to straighten.


There's a metal tab on the side of the drawers that need to be bent in order to get the drawers out.

Using a punch & hammer, bend the red metal tab in...

I bent this one pretty good (a little too much)

This side was bent just enough to get the drawer out.

All the drawers are out so now the back and the bottom can be bent back into shape.

This picture clearly shows how much the bottom is bent... 

The back is damaged behind the center drawer locking mechanism.  It will be a little bit tricky to bend back...



Ran out of time.  Put all the stuff in the corner for now...
