90% of the way there...
This is a great high quality professional service engineers case. General construction is excellent and the materials feel expensive, the shell is an 'Audi' style plastic material that feels soft even if it isn't. Plenty of inserts provided, I removed some to make more space but at least you have the options. The base can be compartmentalised keeping instruments from rattling about for example. The inserts are very tough and should last a few years.After a few months daily use? the good points, just the right size, rolls well and the weight is low on the axle meaning even a heavily loaded case is light to tow along. When sat on its bottom open in use, the back is still supported on the rollers so its easy to shove/pull to where you need it, small point but good. The flat telescopic pull handle seems sturdier than I expected. The case will last so worth the premium price and creates a very professional image. When I transfered my kit over from my old case and weighed it it was 5kg lighter overall.Bad points? well a couple of things keep it from 5 stars. Often I need to carry a cardboard box with a part in, with my old case I used to rest it on top and tie on with an elastic strap but the large (comfy) handle is very prominent and rounded on top so things won't stay on top of the case.The main issue is the length of the tow handle, I am 5'11" and its too short. When I first started using this case I endlessly kept clipping my heel - ouch!! I have now got used to towing the case to one side which is fine except it makes you very wide, not good in narrow corridors as you mow into oncoming customers shins!It needs another section to the handle or the existing ones made longer, another few inches so you could safely tow the case behind you and it would be an easy 5 Star/101% choice. As it is, its still very desirable!

Great quality toolbox but on receiving it I thought it was a lot heavier than expected.
