Portable Tool Storage

Pro's: Light weight, tool pallet compatible, durable. Con's: Aluminum hinge, locks not "TSA compatible". I've been a Machine-tool Field Engineer for 25 years, traveling the Continental US & Mexico. This is my "go-to" tool case, especially for air travel. I've tried them all, and keep on coming back to this case (this one is # 5). It will easily handle more than 50 Lbs of tools & equipment! You can expect this toolbox to survive at least 400 flights... I get at least 3 years use out of one, working full time including a HEAVY flight schedule. I prefer a basic case like this, combined with a folding luggage cart. With this setup I can handle the tool case (45-50 Lb), a duffel with clothes, extra tools & manuals (40 Lb), and my computer/document bag (15 Lb). I've had multiple handle and wheel failures on cases that incorporate them... they just can't seem to handle that 100 Lb load. My only real complaints: 1) the aluminum hinge will "stretch" when debris becomes lodged in the groove around the frame edge... (small loose screws & electrical connectors, etc) 2) the locks on the latches remain "old-school" key type. I'd prefer a "TSA" lock, but I continue to live with this box, as the alternatives that incorporate TSA locks or hasps are not as durable or a lot more expensive. Bottom Line: If you're buying your own equipment and/or travel a lot, this box is a winner. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED"..."  Read more

I looked at and rejected several cases before finding this one. This one has good quality and capacity at a good price. I needed two tool pallets and enough depth to hold some instrumentation. I insist on rugged enough construction to be long lasting. I also needed a case that looks professional enough for me to use in customer's homes. This case did it all for me at a good price."..."  Read more

Good military style tool case. Plenty of pockets, nice deep foam padded area underneath. I travel alot as a field service engineer (vehical and Air), and this tool case fits the bill."

I saw another technician using this tool case and he recommended it. It is worth the money and has saved my back not having to carry heavy tool boxes and has saved me time, being able to have most all my tools with me and not having to return to my van for something. It's great!"..."  Read more
