What if I break a tool? What do I do with it? 🫣

In aviation, even broken tools need to be returned and reported. All pieces must be found! Even a splinter can damage the inside of an engine over time.

With the kabTRAK, this can be done with just a tap of a button, saving the mechanic a lot of time and paperwork.

Then a supervisor can look up what‘s broken and can remove it for repair or replacement.

Why Tiny Tools Break Most Automated Tool Control Systems 🔩✈️

Imagine the damage a missing insert bit could cause if left behind during maintenance - while the toolbox incorrectly shows everything accounted for.

Many electronic tool control systems struggle with very small tools.

📷 Camera-based systems can be affected by lighting, shadows and even the condition of the tool itself - for example when a tool is dirty, greasy or worn, changing how it appears to the camera.

📡 RFID solutions often require tool modifications, which can make tiny tools impractical or even unusable.

🔎 Drawer scanning systems also slow technicians down, waiting for the contents to scan during transactions.

So which solution do our kabTRAKs use?

Our patented sensor technology detects tool movement instantly while the drawer is open, with no cameras, no RFID tags and no lengthy scanning process.

✅ No tool modifications required
✅ No ongoing calibration to maintain accuracy
✅ Suitable for restricted areas
✅ Fast, user-friendly operation
✅ Reliable tracking of tools and assets down to 2 mm (5/64")

Precision Starts With Organisation ✈️🛠️ Part 1 of 2

Purpose-built for experienced aircraft structures and sheetmetal technicians, these two custom tool control cabinets were configured to support the demanding day-to-day work of Cert II Structures / Sheetmetal Mechanics performing aircraft structural inspection, repair, modification, and fabrication tasks.

Each cabinet features 7 drawers plus a lockable door for storage of larger equipment, combining high-density tool control with practical storage for oversized items used in structural maintenance environments.

Cabinet one is dedicated to core structural fastening and installation tooling, including:
• Air tools & attachments
• Hand squeezers
• Bucking bars
• Cleco pliers
• Cleco holders with assorted cleco sizes

Cabinet two focuses on precision measurement, fabrication, and finishing tools and will be posted next.

When working to tight tolerances on structural components, efficiency isn’t optional, it’s operational necessity. Immediate tool access supports faster decision-making, cleaner workflow, and reduced downtime across maintenance tasks.

With CNC-cut dual-colour foam inlays enabling Visual Tool Control, every item is instantly identifiable and accounted for - supporting accuracy, efficiency, and FOD prevention in high-tempo maintenance environments.

Can‘t you just return the tool to any other slot? 😏

No you can’t. The kabTRAK will sound an alarm and display a warning message. It can also send a notification to a supervisor, if required. If you ignore the message and walk away, the log will still know who returned the tool, so it can be followed up.

🧰 More than just tool storage.

Dual-colour shadow foam in drawer cabinets helps maintenance teams work faster, safer, and with greater accountability.

✔️ Instant visual tool control
✔️ Missing tools spotted in seconds
✔️ Faster pack-up and shift handovers
✔️ Reduced FOD risk
✔️ Better organisation in high-pressure maintenance environments
✔️ Protection for both tools and drawers

When every tool has a clearly defined location, technicians spend less time searching and more time getting the job done efficiently.

And in busy workshops, hangars, and MRO environments, that consistency makes a real difference. ✈️

Don't wait in line. Get your tools faster. ✈️

This two-sided Flightline Toolboard is going to be delivered to a defence contractor, providing a flexible and highly visible tooling solution for fast-paced maintenance operations.

Unlike traditional toolboxes with multiple drawers, these toolboards allow several technicians to work out of the cabinet at the same time, reducing downtime spent waiting for access or searching through drawers to find the required tool.

Available in single- or double-sided configurations, they feature lockable clear-view roll down doors, and a robust all-steel construction. The cabinets shown here are double-sided and fitted with top tie-down points. The foam was designed with ID tag slots for traceability and accountability as well as laser etching on the top surface for clear tool identification.

Options include:
✔ One- or double-sided - each side fitted with a lockable roller door
✔ Cut-outs or Velcro dots for ID tag systems
✔ Laser-marked tools and foam
✔ Built-in battery tool charging points
✔ Top tie-down points

Mounted on lockable heavy-duty castors, these cabinets are built to move where the work happens - while keeping tooling organised, secure, and accountable.

Every maintenance environment is different, which is why we work with customers to develop the ideal tool list, layout, and control solution for their operation.

4 Units make one set with all the maintenance tools needed for most general maintenance jobs - inspection, screwdrivers, hammers, chisels and files, wrenches, 1/4 inch and 3/8 inch ratchets, sockets and crowfeet.

What would you add to your kit?

Would you use Milwaukee packout drawer cases to store your tools?
