Summary

Replacement latch for ToolMaster plastic toolboxes (I designed it for my underseat truck box). May also fit Craftsman plastic boxes as they appear to be copycat boxes.

Post-Printing

Post processing:

            <div><p>You will have to clean off the supports and get the round "pin" as smooth as possible.</p><p>To insert the latch in the cover, the old broken pin must be removed (use pliers, a small nail, anything you can to push it and pull it out.</p><p>Cut the 3D printed latch pin as close to the middle as you can.  This will allow you to twist it just enough to put one side in first then the other side.  It won't be as strong as if it were still connected, but it looks like the originals were molded in place.  This is the best I could come up with.</p><p>This works on my ToolMaster under-seat toolbox and appears to be the same as my Craftsman under-seat box and also my Craftsman boxes for my drills, saws, and other equipment.  (I can't test those because they're not broken yet.)</p></div>
