Chicago Case 95-8582 30th Anniversary Slim Line Tool Case

thought width would have been narrower than it was. A little too wide for me rather cumbersome. Not so slim as I thought Too wide

Amazon dimensions don't match manufacturer size. Amazon shows outside dimensions. This case is huge! It seems to be built very well for it's size.

He realizado la compra de un producto que no recibí e incurrí en costos extras sin tener resultados satisfactorios. Ordene la maleta 95-8582 y me enviaron la maleta 95-8581 por segunda ocasión. He hecho el reclamo sin resultados válidos, me tendré que quedar con un producto que no me es funcional.

Do not order this. The 1st & then the replacement were the wrong item.

It is what I was looking for!Good size and good quality!I recomend!

Product as described, Arrived on time

The pockets are vinyl, not cloth as they are in B&W cases. Vinyl doesn't conform to the shape of tools and hold them as well, and I expect it to become brittle and crack.It has too many small and shallow pockets for tools no bigger than a screwdriver. In fact the pockets are designed to contain only the handle and let the shaft hang out a small hole in the bottom. That's a good design for screwdrivers but not for wrenches or anything else, even chisels, that won't fit through the hole. There are some pockets wide enough for larger tools but most of them aren't deep enough. There are no pockets big enough for meters and such. Large and fragile items like meters have to be piled in the bottom compartment, which comes with foam you can cut but no dividers.The pallets are a bit of a mystery. What were they thinking? The pallets have no solid attachment, but float freely. The top two pallets are hinged together and slide onto a metal tab that protrudes out of the lid just above the hinges, but they slide on and off so loosely that it can only be described as a sloppy design. There is a vinyl strap with snaps that is supposed to hold them up but it's doomed to break. The bottom pallet has no connection at all, so to reach the bottom compartment you have to lift it out and put it aside.The outside walls are half as thick as in cases made by B&W, and seem to be made of a less flexible and elastic plastic. Considering the very large size of this case, and hence its fully loaded weight, I have no faith in the long-term integrity of the walls. If you have to carry it up stairs, fully loaded, assuming you can, I would be surprised if the handle didn't tear off eventually. And if you used the extension handle to get it up stairs, the body would take more of a beating than it looks able to take.The telescoping handle is strong but not strong enough if the case ever falls over just once when full. Its tubular construction would become stuck if it bent a little. Then the case would never fit in your trunk.I returned this and got a B&W Jumbo 6700 case. Its walls are like tank armor compared to this - not only much thicker and a better plastic, but also buttressed and reinforced where it counts. You can stand on it briefly if you need a boost. I would never have tried that with this Chicago Case if I had kept it. The B&W telescoping handle is a deliberately simple design with one moving part made of a thick, solid piece of plastic that is much less likely to break if the case falls over. The interior is not as big, but it's about half the price. The B&W pallets are attached and hinged. The B&W pockets are sized to be more versatile and have a nice reinforced cloth construction that makes a snug fit around tools. The bottom compartment has nice aluminum dividers.What's the use of being able to put everything in one basket if it isn't as functional? And I probably couldn't lift this one if I had ever filled it. That would have been awkward.
