Marshall,

I don't know if this is the kind of luggage you're looking for but take a look at this website.

http://www.luggageworksonline.com/

As an airline pilot for the last 23 years, I can attest to their durability.  I have owned two of them.  The first one lasted 12 years, the second one is still going strong at 8 years.  Good balance, durability, and a host of options.  They aren't tool kits but they are extremely rugged. A little pricier, but in the end, they outlive many other suitcases by a factor of 2 or 3 or more!

Mine has been on the road for more than 15 days a month, year after year, through airports, across parking lots, jumping curbs, thrown in the back of vans, occasionally dragged down a dirt path, accosted by the TSA, dropped, dragged, and has fallen out of my car (don't ask!). About once every 5 years, I buy a kit to replace the roller blade style wheels.  Takes about 10 mins and $20 or so. I hope this helps...

Happy New Year!

For me something rolnig is best since I do so much walking to catch busses trains and even  taxis at times.  I'll check this out.  James is yoru suitcase a large or small one?  I'm not sure about the back pack thing, but something rolling is my thing.  So thanks again, and a shopping I go again.  I saw this rolling tool bag on line on Sears' website, but the store didn't carry it a wasted bus trip. It was nice to get out anyway.  Well have a good one everyone.
