Hope it becomes available outside of Australia in some metallic version that will stand up on the jobsite and in truck toolboxes.

There are a number of conveniently placed holes in the thing that look perfect. As for the battery charger -- if it has mounting holes on the back then take a piece of scrap plywood, drill a couple holes in it for the pegs, put a couple screws in it for the battery charger and hang it on your pegboard.

I'm mildly concerned about where to actually /put/ the thing. I mean, it won't hang on the pegboard and table top space is a premium for something like that. I'm already irked that my battery charger is on my work bench.

Hand tools that can't be carried easily usually ends up left in the truck, or lost on the jobsite. Doesn’t fit in a tool pouch very well.

AND a mini version for people who use Proxxon tools more often than Caterpillar (this one should include a protractor of some kind).
