    Throw oxygen absorbers in with it as that foam hold moisture. Looks like a knock off of Pelican brand cases.

    I saw those yesterday, too. They look to be pretty durable. We need someone to do a destruction comparison between it and the Pelican similar box.

    There is a video on youtube. Haven't watched it yet.

    There will probably be a recall on it though #harborgarbage

    They’re good cases but not as durable. Pelican uses fiber reinforced nylon for their cases. The HF Apache cases are just injection molded plastic so if you manhandle them they’ll crack. If you treat them reasonably gently, they’ll be fine for most uses.

    I'm probably cramming too much stuff in it, but it's worked so far.

    My folks own a few (10ish) rental properties. I keep tools on hand for that. This case is just testers/things that need to be protected/etc., as you can see. Most equipment I have that needs protecting is electrical in nature. So, for the work pertaining to that case, I do a little bit of everything....except HVAC...don't understand it, don't know anything about it, don't know what's wrong with it, and don't know how to fix it, so don't ask lol.

    Ive had their large one for awhile now and its held up just fine. But Im not super rough on it either. It isnt a nice as my pelican but still is just fine. I personally have no issue recommending them to people for just general use.

    If anyone sees a new coupon for the 500lb hydraulic cart, let me know. I just missed one, unfortunately.

    The 20% off works for PA...which makes it $4 more than the coupon you missed. I hope there's a store near you because the shipping quote was $97 I think...

    Anyhow, there's an option

    I completely forgot about the 20% coupon. I was thinking about using it as a planer platform.
