Questions Received by 8/25/2025 and Answers

1. Given our limited space, would it be possible to split the delivery of the 8 toolboxes into two separate shipments (for example, 4 toolboxes at a time) to our location in Virginia?

- No

2. Please confirm whether each toolbox will be shipped in a wooden crate.

- No

3. I just want to confirm my understanding—please verify that each tool in every toolbox will be etched only with the following:

Toolbox 1, etch MKVM8001

Toolbox 2, etch MKVM8002

Toolbox 3, etch MKVM8003

Toolbox 4, etch MKVM8004

Toolbox 5, etch MKVM8005

Toolbox 6, etch MKVM8006

Toolbox 7, etch MKVM8007

Toolbox 8, etch MKVM8008

- Yes

4. Once all tools are etched and ready for delivery to the Kansas address specified in the contract, will you provide the shipping labels via email and arrange for a carrier to pick them up from our location?

- Yes

5. According to the contract, each toolbox is specified to measure 80”H x 59”L x 27”W.

Based on the attached PDF file, Toolbox Dimensions, please confirm if our understanding is correct. We just want to ensure that the toolbox opens from the top of the 59” side, not from the top of the 80” side.

- N/A, The total height of the toolkit(top and bottom box) is 80”.

Only the top opens which is the 59” length. Please see picture on next page.

27”

59”

80”

6. You have 8 toolboxes listed which consists of 1 upper and 1 lower box for a total of 16 boxes, correct?

- Correct

7. For shipping, will they be assembled via being bolted together or should I quote 16 pallets?

- The 8 toolkits are still palletized from their original shipment on 8 pallets (1 kit per pallet)

8. For shipping, toolboxes will contain the tools or will the tools be palleted separately? If so, how many pallets?

- Tools will be shipped within the toolboxes as the manufacturer sent them.

This greatly reduced the possibility of etching errors between boxes.

9. For shipping, you will have them palleted and secured for the LTL truck to pick up?

- They are palleted and ready for shipment

10. Do the toolboxes themselves need to be etched with the serial number?

- No

11. Many of the sets come in their own carrying case like the drill bits, dies sets, extractor sets, etc.. Does that box need to be etched also, or just the tools in it?

- Yes, cases for tools sets must be etched

12. I want to verify the weight. You have the total weight listed of 10160. But that seems to me to be just the boxes with no tools. I would estimate the tools at an additional 2000 pounds per box, or 16,000 pounds more for a total weight of 26,000 pounds.

Can you con�irm please?

• Weight requested is correct

- 1270 lbs each, multiplied by 8 = 10160 lbs (please see attachment)

• Weight listed on the original shipping documents for each kit: 1270 lbs each, multiplied by 8 = 10160 lbs

- Top toolbox (tools listed inside the box) is contained in cardboard box, on a wood skid pallet

- Bottom toolbox (tools listed inside the box) is contained in a cardboard box, on a wood skid pallet

- Both boxes (1 toolkit) banded together
