Review on 🧳 RDEXP Flexible Replacement Suitcase Luggage: Durable and Versatile Travel Companion by Jason Geyston

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Goes perfectly with Ricardo Beverly Hills Style #661-2P-418 Set

Perfect replacement for the handles on my navy blue Ricardo Beverly Hills (RBH) luggage set that I bought from Costco in 2014 . They are exactly the same size and fit. (You can find your RBH suitcase style on the t-shirt tag sewn into the suitcase liner.) The only difference is that the original RBH style was brushed nickel while these are chrome plated. It's not a big visual difference. The only issue I expect is that the design and durability are the same. I expect these pins will fail in 2-3 years. The metal they use for the holding parts is cheap, brittle and thin cast metal that doesn't stand up to the knocks a suitcase takes on air travel. The replacement was very simple: unscrew the old ones from inside the case with a Phillips screwdriver (the old screws were covered with foam tape, which came off easily and cleanly), put on new metal clips. I was even able to use the same screws, brackets and knobs that weren't badly worn. I suspect the metal braces will fail sooner than any part of the grips. At around $8 per grip and 5 minutes to replace each grip, it's a lot better than going to a luggage store to swap them out.

Pros
  • New to my collection
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
