<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 color=navy face=Arial><span style='font-size:
10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Like you, I’ve been looking for a
case for years that works for me. Unfortunately, I have to worry about the
weight of a case after it’s fully loaded. (I’m not that big!) Have
you/could you weigh it with all of your tools in it to give me an idea of what
it would be like going up a flight of stairs or across a client’s muddy
front lawn when I have to carry it by the handle? Otherwise, it looks great. Thanks,<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

font-family:Arial'>From the first day I entered this glorious business I knew
my tool kit (some sort of computer case) would not work for long. I
upgraded to yet another computer case for a while, then a supply house tool
case, then the $250 Gink, and for my last year a rolling tool bag with a few
pockets and a tool roll. I was never happy... I have never liked
the tool roll affair, it seems a little cumbersome, rolling it out on the
customers floor, having kids stick little fingers in to snatch things and so
on. After my last bag began to sag in the middle from all of the
wait I put in it, I thought it was a new year and time for yet another tool kit
adventure. I thought about the Big House tool bag but decided against
it. I wanted to keep my freedom and my shoulder moving. Did I
mention I carry a lot of stuff? So it seemed that something with wheels
was still in order. I looked at the options from the supply houses, Harbor
Freight, Home Depot, Chicago Case Company and more... One of the last
places I checked was Sears and they were the people that had what I wanted. </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>

font-family:Arial'>It is the best option I have come up with for a tool
kit. It rolls, has plenty of room for everything I want to carry and
things stay in place. I am pretty sure that they only offer these online,
but you can return it to the store if you don't like it. It comes with 2
removable pallets that seem to hold everything a little better than my Gink
pallet did. The kit is covered with nylon but has a hard plastic liner
that seems pretty rugged. It has 4 zippered compartments with lots of
pockets. The back compartment has 3 bucket stile pockets with a removable
pallet in front of them and 1 large pocket in front of the pallet. The
next compartment has a pallet with a smaller removable zippered bag. The
third compartment has lots of small open pockets and 4 larger zippered and or
Velcro pockets, as well as a few large open pockets. the front
compartment has a water bottle holder and is useful for invoices. So
check it out! The wheels and telescoping handle are nice! </span></font><o:p></o:p></p>
