Choose Snug-Fit with Foam Drawer Inserts

Like anti-slide mats, foam inserts can be placed in drawer cabinet or tool trolley drawers for storing delicate items such as measuring tools or irregularly shaped tools. They are normally made of polyethylene. To achieve a snug fit, shapes can be cut out of the foam using a suitable tool.

Foam Drawer Insert is a measure of ensuring safety, efficiency, improved productivity, and savings within the factory or workplace environment, especially in the aerospace and automotive fields. With a simple and highly effective method of instantly seeing that all of the required tools for the required job are in place, work can begin in the knowledge that the job or shift should be free of any tooling issues.

The benefits of having properly organized tools include protection of expensive kit, rapid tool location for instant use, prevention of tools sliding around during transit, avoids loss or theft of tools, easy to see if tools are not replaced, safety and peace of mind as tools will not be left within aircraft/vehicles/machinery.

To assist in the effectiveness of tool drawer, the foam inserts are often made in dual colour material. This makes it even quicker to see if a tool is not in position. The original ‘shadow boards’ do indeed seem to throw a shadow in the empty pocket space when the foams are used in a single colour, but with dual coloured foams it is much more visually definite.

Foreign Object Damage/Debris was originally an aviation term for damage attributed to a foreign object i.e. an item that doesn’t belong or is not a part of the aircraft. It can be expressed in physical or economic terms that may or may not degrade the product's required safety and/or performance characteristics. FOD describes debris on or around an aircraft or damage done to an aircraft.

One of the ‘culprits’ of damage and hazards caused came from mechanics and engineers who had been working on the aircraft and inadvertently left hand tools behind after servicing or repair. When a tool has been used, a mechanic can instantly see whether it has been returned to the drawer or not, thus avoiding accidentally leaving it behind in an area that could cause serious damage.
