Well... All I can say is no one can abuse a kit like me! I cant by into this it only lasted me 2 weeks statement on the review. I can say that I have never had a rolling kit that was made as well as this one. Its lasted me 2 months so far. This is with my travels on and off public transit dragging it on and off with the handle out... So let them say what they will. I knnow the thing is built to last.

Shawn,
Looked good on the website, but the reviews said it doesn't hold up to well.
Regards,

From the first day I entered this glorious business I knew my tool kit (some sort of computer case) would not work for long. I upgraded to yet another computer case for a while, then a supply house tool case, then the $250 Gink, and for my last year a rolling tool bag with a few pockets and a tool roll. I was never happy... I have never liked the tool roll affair, it seems a little cumbersome, rolling it out on the customers floor, having kids stick little fingers in to snatch things and so on. After my last bag began to sag in the middle from all of the wait I put in it, I thought it was a new year and time for yet another tool kit adventure. I thought about the Big House tool bag but decided against it. I wanted to keep my freedom and my shoulder moving. Did I mention I carry a lot of stuff? So it seemed that something with wheels was still in order. I looked at the options from the supply houses, Harbor Freight, Home Depot, Chicago Case Company and more... One of the last places I checked was Sears and they were the people that had what I wanted.

It is the best option I have come up with for a tool kit. It rolls, has plenty of room for everything I want to carry and things stay in place. I am pretty sure that they only offer these online, but you can return it to the store if you don't like it. It comes with 2 removable pallets that seem to hold everything a little better than my Gink pallet did. The kit is covered with nylon but has a hard plastic liner that seems pretty rugged. It has 4 zippered compartments with lots of pockets. The back compartment has 3 bucket stile pockets with a removable pallet in front of them and 1 large pocket in front of the pallet. The next compartment has a pallet with a smaller removable zippered bag. The third compartment has lots of small open pockets and 4 larger zippered and or Velcro pockets, as well as a few large open pockets. the front compartment has a water bottle holder and is useful for invoices. So check it out! The wheels and telescoping handle are nice!

Hi Shawn,
Like you, I’ve been looking for a case for years that works for me. Unfortunately, I have to worry about the weight of a case after it’s fully loaded. (I’m not that big!) Have you/could you weigh it with all of your tools in it to give me an idea of what it would be like going up a flight of stairs or across a client’s muddy front lawn when I have to carry it by the handle? Otherwise, it looks great. Thanks,
Jeannie Grassi
