Toolbox for porter cable

**staat.t** · 12-10-2013, 02:52 PM

Hey guys! Went to lowes today to get 2 m8 Allen screws for my end cap, and also some compression washers, I ended up leaving with a nice kobalt toolbox for a whopping $9, and the Allen screws and compression washers. This thing works awesome to store all my polishing stuff.

Just wondering how you guys store your pc!

Nice. I store my PC in my Flex bag with my 3401. The bag has a lot of room, designed to hold product and pads in addition to the Flex. Since I'm not mobile, it makes for a great storage bag to keep my DAs organized.

I'm not mobile either, just an enthusiast who does it in his spare time, would like to have my own start up, I'm in school for law enforcement but am having a change of heart.

I'm not hear to judge, but just personal thoughts.....stay in school, law enforcement is tough to get into to start with, so you should have time to still work detailing on the side. If things take off for you and you really get things going you can always go to full time and have the LE as a fall back. Some things to consider before you make that decision...insurance (mainly medical and dental) is very expensive and can break you if you're self employed, especially if/when you have a family. Don't forget disability in case you are ever injured and cannot work. Retirement plans; a good pension is invaluable, even a matching 401K goes a long way. If you are self employed, you have to plan for that.
