Mid-American Tool - Tool Cabinets/War Lockers, Bearing Driver Kits

What happens here

Mark visits the Mid-American Tool booth, where Justin Ries, Vice President, introduces their T&E Tools storage solutions. He showcases a custom-designed tool cabinet/war locker, emphasizing its purpose to address the lack of safe storage and charging options for lithium-ion power tools. Given that lithium battery fires are a significant concern (5,000 fires annually in the US alone), this cabinet is explosion-proof and designed to prevent lithium leaks from spreading. It features 18-gauge galvanized steel construction, 12-gauge steel doors, bright LED lighting, and multiple charging stations (9 outlets, 2 USB ports). Each row includes steel hooks, allowing storage of up to 11 cordless tools per row. Additionally, there are separate compartments (battery holsters) to prevent batteries from touching each other, prolonging battery life. It also has slide-out roller-bearing drawers (5 inches deep) with 100-pound capacity for drills, drill bits, and accessories. The cabinet is 100% American-made and comes in various colors. Ries also presents their bearing race and seal driver kits, emphasizing their quality and comprehensive sizing, with one set covering sizes from 18mm to 65mm and a larger set from 70mm to 150mm. Each kit allows for custom assembly of drivers and includes a hammer.

Goal: Showcase safe and organized tool storage, especially for lithium batteries, and specialized bearing driver kits.
