Let us know if the young man recovers his tools. Many of us have "doubles" we have acquired over the years and may be willing to build a box for the kid. I think I have a box to start with that I can carry down. round and rusty is better than nothing......if so - I say we start a thread, cause that's what bolters do.
open ends, boxes, 3/8 sockets, 1/2" come on guys - you know the stuff I mean.
LOL, best, Joe
