Review on KETER Gear Toolbox 17200382, 56.4x35x31 cm, 22"" , black by Velizar Botev ᠌

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I didnt expect the quality to be so high.

If you want to get the most out of this suitcase, then I advise you to use the space in the lid. For example, you can make two plexiglass doors with magnetic latches. The best option is neodymium 15x10 mm cylindrical. If you take less, then there is a risk: opening the door, with a strong slamming of the lid. And there is no point in taking magnets of greater strength, since the door will have to be opened not with one hand, but with two, which is inconvenient. In general, 15x10 is the best option: the door can be easily opened with one hand, and with a strong slamming, it does not swing open by itself. To protect the magnets from destruction, I used 0.4 mm thick PVC as a shock absorber. After such an upgrade, the lid will add a couple of kilograms in weight, so it will be necessary to stretch a metal cable that will hold the lid in the open position, since the standard lid opening angle limiter is not designed for such loads. Plus, you can also install dampers on the tray, so that in the closed position of the suitcase, the doors rest on this damper, and under no circumstances open spontaneously.

Pros
  • The box is strong, does not bend under the weight, even after I drilled holes in the stiffeners. Metal locks, comfortable handles, strong hinge, great potential for upgrading.
Cons
  • At first there was a slight smell of plastic.
