Tools and Hardware Reviews of J. Terence Thompson 2851-1B Large 37-by-17-1/2-by-14-Inch Wheeled Storage Trunk
Customer Review: Great item
Summary: 4 Stars
This item certainly served its purpose to transport items safely from the US to the UK!!! Highly recommendedCustomer Review: Just OK for storage
Summary: 3 Stars
Normally when in the US I buy wooden Seward trunks from KMart or Walmart but I only managed to find one wooden trunk this trip so had to order this moulded plastic trunk through Amazon in order to take all my holiday purchases home. Although on the whole the trunk is fairly rugged my main gripe is with the flimsy nature of the plastic where the handle connects to the case. Without a suitable padlock to clamp the upper and lower parts of the trunk together, when loaded with 20+kgs the case distorts and gapes open about 1 inch. Left me feeling concerned that at the end of a 10 hour flight my case would arrive broken and battered at the other end due to those delicate baggage handlers. Fortunately it arrived ok but I would not purchase this item again for travel. Its perfectly fine for loft storage though which is what this is now relegated to.Customer Review: Keep it Dry!! Keep it Clean!
Summary: 3 Stars
My pals and I go on lengthy fishing trips, sometimes into very remote areas. In the past our gear was covered with dust or got soaked. Using this storage box took care of that. And yes, it rained on us last week. And, while everyone was trying to find dry stuff....not me!! Nice and Dry...Nice and Clean!!
The only drawback is the hinge system. In time, maybe 4 trips with a little bangin and clangin they will fail or fatigue. I'd like to see a box with a little more sturdy features.
Customer Review: Flimsey for the price
Summary: 3 Stars
Would be a nice product if the plastic was thicker. Right out of the box the rivets on the latches were loose. Had to drill out existing rivets and reinstall. Of course alot of people don't own a rivet gun. Don't see how this box would survive one leg of an airline travel.Customer Review: Only took shipper 2x to break it.
Summary: 3 Stars
This trunk is great for storage but the shipper broke it on the second leg of a three-leg U.S. tour. I'll epoxy the two broken corners and use it in the garage, but it's certainly not a tough enough case for shipping.
