Well-Designed, Injection-Molded Heavy Duty Storage Totes for Off-Road Vehicles
Also, quality content Rain!
I'd give it a thumbs up. I see no issues in terms of molding and I am particularly interested in the hinge and latch designs. The lid geometry is a nice touch too. I may have to get my hands on one to check it out. I regularly use pelican cases to transport music gear and would love to see how these stack up...pun intended. The price seems comparable, but there are metal components in most pels.
Good design helps! The faster the parts are released from the mold (cycle time), the lower the cost. Less material = lower cost, etc. Also, tooling made in China is quite a bit cheaper than the US. But, with longer lead-times and more risk. We always strive to go domestic when our customer's budget allows, but it isn't always the case. It helps to have a relationship with a reputable mold shop there.
