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.
