Henchman Tool Control

Electric Utility Helicopter Maintenance ???? This automated toolkit monitors its contents, recording user activity, timestamps, and tools removed or returned. It also tracks calibration dates, consumable stock levels, and the complete return of small sets within the toolbox. Check out henchmanTRAK.com/kabTRAK for more information. Our customer, a U.S.-based electric utility corporation, will receive four of these automated toolboxes. The company operates a fleet of two Cessna Citations and 10 helicopters - including three Bell 429s, three Bell 407s, and four McDonnell Douglas MD530s - to monitor 17,000 miles of transmission lines across 86,000 square miles in seven states. Additionally, their helicopters are used to transport crews to the top of structures, minimizing safety risks and reducing fatigue from climbing. #helicoptermaintenance #fieldservice #transmissionline #monitoring #bell429 #bell407 #MD530 #aircraft #maintenance #toolcontrol #toolbox #electricutility #aerospace

Two in One - And Everything in its Place ?? These two Fluke 435 Power Quality Analysers have been consolidated into one Explorer case, replacing two separate orange cases. The foam inlay keeps the analysers and all test leads secure and neatly organized. Now, the customer's electrician can quickly confirm that all items are in the kit and nothing is missing - without having to rummage through the case or deal with tangled test leads. ?? #fieldservice #poweranalyzer #electrician #powermanagement #toolbox #storage #henchman #organisation

No More Searching for the Right Bit ?? This case is designed to store drive bits neatly, with a custom foam inlay that keeps each size and type well-organized. Each pocket is clearly labelled with the type and size of the bits it holds, ensuring quick identification. The secure lid keeps smaller bits firmly in place, preventing any risk of loss. Is it compliant with Aviation Tool Control standards? No, it’s not. For aircraft maintenance, each individual drive bit should have its own cutout, ensuring that any missing item is immediately noticeable. However, this set of consumables is not intended for an aircraft maintenance environment. With this kit, there’s no more guessing where a bit goes or worrying you won't have enough of the right bits to complete your job - there are plenty of each. #inventory #tools #fieldservice #installation #service #maintenance #supplier #toolkit #shadowfoam #henchman

Prepared for the Job - Tool Kits for Apprentices ???? Tool control is more than just a matter of organization — it’s a safety protocol that directly impacts the quality and precision of your work. Learning the procedures of Tool Control is a must! Every apprentice should develop good habits of accountability when it comes to their tools. Properly returning tools to their designated places not only prevents loss but also ensures that your team works efficiently. ?? Investing in quality tools now and following tool control procedures will set you up for success in the future! ?? Taking care of your tools is just as important as using them. Regular maintenance and proper handling extend the life of your equipment, helping you save costs and work effectively. Treat your tools like the vital assets they are! ?? Visual Tool Control ensures precision. By creating a clear, visual map of where each tool belongs, apprentices are empowered to stay organized, reduce errors, and keep workflows smooth. ?? Safety First: With dual-colour foam inlays, apprentices can instantly spot any discrepancies. A missing tool could mean a safety hazard, and being able to quickly detect it helps prevent costly mistakes. ?? Dual Colour Foam Inlays make it easy to identify and organize tools at a glance. The contrast between two colours ensures that missing or misplaced tools stand out immediately, reducing the risk of leaving tools inside aircraft. These four kits are on their way to an Australian commercial airline, to be provided to their new aircraft maintenance apprentices. #Maintenance #Tools #Apprentice #Lean #Organization #ShadowFoam #Safety #WorkForce #Henchman

Lock Them Up - Would You Put Power Tools Into a Toolbox? ?? Leaving power tools out on the workbench might seem convenient, but it’s not always the safest choice. Here's why most of our customers decide to include them in their drawer cabinets instead: ? Safety – Tools left out can be easily accessed by unauthorized people, or worse, cause accidents if not properly stored. ? Protection – Exposure to dust, moisture, or damage from other objects can wear down your tools over time. ? Accountability – Keeping tools in a toolbox with two-colour foam inlays helps you to keep track of every item, so you know it’s there when you need it. Don’t risk your tools or safety - storing them in a toolbox keeps them secure, organized, and ready for the job! ??? #ToolStorage #PowerTools #Milwaukee #toolcontrol #maintenance #toolbox

Precision, Accountability, and Durability ????? These two kabTRAK Electronic Tool Control Cabinets are on their way to a rotary wing aircraft operator with a fleet of 35 helicopters based throughout Canada. In an ever adapting industry, they use their legacy and experience to continuously improve – whether it be fleet upgrades, improved technology, or increased safety measures. The heavy-duty steel cabinets include a wide range of general maintenance tools from inspection, fastening, drive tools, wrenches, torque tools to striking and struck.

This test hurt! ?? Can you hold your foam trays on the edge? Check this out - the tray in the picture weighs 3.27kg (7.2lbs). That's the same as 3 liters of milk, two MacBooks, or one building brick. I was struggling to hold it up, but the tray didn’t budge. Henchman foam blocks consist of 4 heat-bonded layers: 1?? Bumpy plastic top layer – anti-glare, laser etchable, chemical & skydrol resistant, wipeable 2?? Thin black foam for contrast 3?? High-density foam core – soft but non-squishable, perfect for storage without scratching 4?? Smooth plastic bottom – protects foam from dirt & moisture when placed down In addition, we CNC mill the cutouts, not laser cut all the way through. That means the layers stay perfectly bonded, no risk of separation. Check it out at ?? ?? Verticon 10-13th of March in Dallas, Texas, booth 4222 ?? Avalon Airshow 25-30 of March in Geelong, Australia, or ??

Custom Handle Straps for Foam Inlays ???? These foam inlays were customized with handles, so that the customer can carry the layers around when they are not within their storage case. Henchman foam is ultra light and extremely dense, almost solid, and CNC milled from one block of foam, so it doesn't bend when carried - even when you hold it with just one hand. The handles make moving the inlays around even easier. Examples of customization: - All kinds of shapes and thicknesses for the foam - Laser etching on foam and/or tools for easy ID - Handles for easier carrying of individual layers - Foam inserts for sets within the foam - e.g. for insert bits - Battery chargers within the foam and additional ventilation - Fitouts for work car tray drawers Contact us with your unique requirements and we'll find a solution for you! #custom #bespoke #henchman #maintenance #manufacturing #foam #lean5s #toolcontrol #storage #organization
