Default Those bloated plastic tool cases

Maybe I'm old school but I prefer metal cases. They are more durable.


And more usable. Those plastics are a booger to cut out so you can use the
case part. With the metal, they were good for a lot of things, many times
with little or no modifications.

Yeah, I miss the old milwaukee cordless drill metal case. Now, THAT
was a case. I hate those plastic cases where you have to get
everything just so to get the tool to fit. Funny to think about tool
cases, cause I realize some tools I always use the case and others
never, without ever thinking about it. I always keep my sawzall case
(keep track of the cord and a handful of blades). Also my Jigsaw
case. Also a cordless drill case (charger, bits, extra battery). And
my 18 gauge brad nailer case. Never keep a circ saw case. Or a
framing nailer case. Got a cordless dewalt set and it comes in a
bag. what a joke. I suppose it depends on how many accessories come
with the tool.
