I tried your first case, or what looks like, from Home Depot up here.
I returned it, it was a cheap imitation of the US made one I got over  
30 years ago.
The tool holders were plastic, not even of a thick guage.
I doubted if it would last 3 months.
For the most part, you only get what you pay for.
These two cases are too cheap.
