This thread keeps on giving!

[LesserBear]

Never bought a Safe Case , still deciding so liking any feedback of Owners of large CraftRight Safe Case for construction reliability, e.g case no cracking , seal is waterproof, sealing knob or latchs or hinges or handle reliable , etc....

CRSC same or better quality from about couple years ago?

looked at dearer yellow kincrome Safe Cases, appear the same design but notice Handle hinge attachment different

looked today @ black SCA safe cases @ SuperCheapAuto. Advertised sizes 260x245x175 // 345x290x145-( measured inside without foam 303x233x140~) // 460X360X175 // Large-560X430X215-( measured inside without foam 508x355x205~)- 4 locking latches.
On special for 14.39 // 34.99 // 39.99 // Large-$55.99

concern have especially the Large cases handle design, if have weakness where after time could break off?

thankyou ,

These things are so cheap just grab one, if it fails throw it away
If you want Pelican reliability and quality, buy a Pelican

I have two of the old yellow Bunnings cases from years ago, and 3 of the newer black ones.
When I'm out shooting away from home, I use them as a seat all the time. I'm 6'5" and weigh ~100kg, so far no cracks.

Yeh, I've now got three. Great for keeping everything tidy and in the right place. I priced some foam inlays with a well know rubber store - it was dearer than buying the whole case with inlays from Bunnings (each case has three inlays). They are lightweight, solid and carry just about everything - including the NEQ6 mount (just!)

haha, I ended up with there more expensive yellow ones which have a vacuum seal ect, not that i plan to drop it off a 100 story building into a pool or anything. These seem like a bargin for $65 over the the price i paid

[issdaol (Phil)]

I purchased 6 of the yellow ones when they bunnings first released them and had the initial sale for $49.99 so that was approximately $300.00.

They are still going strong today with no signs or warping or cracks and there is no signs of any dust on the inside contents.

Have not tested immersion in water or dropping from a tall building :-)

All six of mine are almost fully utilised :-)

In fact I may have to buy another one or 2 but haven't realised they have gone up to $80 a pop. Still over $600 cheaper than 2 Pelican cases though ......

All three of the black cases I've bought from Bunnings also have the vacuum valve
They are identical to my yellow ones in every way, with the only exception being the foam inserts (and colour obviously )
My yellow's have two perforated foam inserts over one non-perf.
My black cases have one thick perforated insert over one non-perf.

[Sarge (Rod)]

I feel kinda left out with only three.

2 of the cases have one partial cut layer and two solid layers, while the other has 2 partial cut and one solid.

Go figure
