2021 STARTED OFF RIGHT...I GOT A FREE TOOL BOX!!

What happens here

The creator uses a small pair of Knipex pliers to bend the problematic metal tabs inside the toolbox frame back into their correct position. He demonstrates how these tabs, when properly aligned, will securely hold the drawer slides. He notes the thinness of the metal, requiring careful manipulation.

Goal: Bend the internal metal tabs back into correct position to secure drawer slides.

And so now we're just going to try to get in here. I had to readjust the camera there. So if I can take this and I can get right back in here with these little six inch little cany pecs pliers, I can just pop that out a little bit. And that looks good. Let's see what the other side looks like. Okay, so this is the other side and you can see right here too, right? That same thing, it's just popped up and that is pushed in and those actually look pretty good. So I think it's just that one and it's, you could tell it's so flimsy. I'm actually pushing that down with my finger. And I think I pushed it in the right spot with my finger. Trust me, these aren't hercules fingers, all right? This is thin metal. See if I can get that out. Oh, man, no, that one I can't get out though. So just get back in there again with the cany pecs. These little things are awesome, man. They are just good for tight spaces. You can see how tight the space this is. It's awesome. Okay, so that should be good. When this slides through there, it should pop on this, it's probably going to bend in a little bit, but hopefully it keeps it out enough to where it's not going to move. You know, they say, one man's trash is
