For the past 2 years, my toolbox and all my tools became so smelly that I thought some animal must have pooped in there. I recently bought a Trinity 27" toolchest on sale in Costco. I decided to put all my tools in the dishwasher before I transfer all tools to the chest. After I washed everything, I realized the vomit smell remains on some of my tools. I separated out all of them by sniffing them and shortly I could see that all of them are the Craftmans screwdrivers with the clear plastic handles. Apparently, the plastic emits that odors and stinks up whatever near it. For the longest time I could not figure out where the smell came from and was really contemplating donating all my tools and get a new set. Now I finally found the cause. I did a google search and there are many entries that describe the same vomit smell. So please don't buy any of that stinking screwdrivers. I will be bringing my set back to Sears to see if they can offer a solution.
BTW, the Trinity toolchest is a steal at $599 and please get one before the sales end.
