Genck Tool Case

[David Love]

I also use the Jensen cordura bag.  The Genck is a nice case.  The only
problem I see is carrying liquids.  The Jensen allows them to be held in an
upright position.  The Genck doesn't.

Dear List,

I got the temporary loan (30-day return) of Schaff's #2664 Genck tool
case. I'm contemplating moving into it from my Jenson cordura
double-sided four pallet bag.  It's very nicely made, and I'm
confident that structurally it'll last much longer than the 2-3.5
year life of the outside zippers on the Jensen. (The zippers are the
first part of the cordura bags to fail; I've been through 5-6 in the
last 20 years. I've always assumed that I was loading too many pounds
of tools (18#) into what was essentially a cloth bag, a sure-fire
stress on the zippers.)

Has anyone else been carrying around the Genck case "for the long
haul"? I'm assuming that I'll be able to get maybe 2/3 of the stuff
now in the Jensen bag into the Genck case (should I decide to buy
it). In fact, cutting down on the weight (and number of tools) in my
priary, walk-through-the-door" bag was the purpose of checking out
the Genck. (The Jensen with four removable pallets weighs 9#, and I'm
stuffing it to bursting with 18# of steel. The Genck weighs 4#.

So, anybody have long-term experience with the Genck? Also, what's
the weight of your primary bag?
