lid has plastic hinge pins

This USA made Plano toolbox is featured in the top 10 toolboxes in the Revain video at #5 and for the price it seems excellent. However when the actual item arrived today, the lid hinges (rear) which are meant to take the full weight of the time when loaded (along with the metal locking hinges over the plastic) have *PLASTIC* hinge pins, not metal. Quality boxes that use plastic grommets (or hinges) as the hinge use metal hinge pins. This product uses plastic hinges that "snap" onto plastic hinge pins that are part of the molded lid (molded as an integral part of the lid). My experience is that such pins break and fail under load. This item is designed for "bigger" tools - they will get a bit heavy. If Plano folks are reading these reviews, what's the appropriate model with metal clasps (or locking hinges) and a metal pivot pin?
