Roto Rugged: A case that is spin molded or rotationally molded. The construction ensures the plastic is evenly distributed
allowing for the wall thickness of this case to be more uniformed.
This reduces stress during the manufacturing process with 25%
more material used in the corners, which provide for a heavier
case and longer life span.
Injection
Molded: Polypropylene is shot through a nozzle (plastic
is in a resin form) and covers the mold. You are not stretching
the plastic, therefore the corners are not thinner than the walls.
Vacuum
or Thermo-Formed: Plastic which begins in sheet form,
is heated, and then drawn or sucked down into a vacuum box, which
the forming tool enters and cools, and forms the case. Polyethylene-HDPE
(high-density polyethylene) is the material used for this type
of case. It is resistant to many solvents and chemicals. HDPE
will retain its strength characteristics. It will not rust or
corrode and is not affected by high or low temperature change.
Ridges:
Ridges are designed in the cases for additional strength and longer
wear.
Bumpers:
Wrap-around-bumpers were added to our military style cases for
more durable, rugged use. These bumpers also serve as shock absorbers.
Nylon:
A very strong canvas like material. Produced from heavy-duty 1000-denier
nylon, made for strong wear and is tear resistant. This rugged
material has a water-resistant backing. We also carry soft cases
made from cordura
by Dupont same feature as nylon.
Tool
Pallet: A panel of pockets or tool containment devices
designed to accommodate our full line of tools. Pockets are sewn
and reinforced with rivets at pressure points for added durability.
Handles: Military style handles are spring-loaded
and stay closed when not in use. Other style handles include a
double padded steel core handle made to provide comfort and protect
the hands while being carried.
Locks: A securing device, which locks by means
of a key or combination. Styles include chrome or black latches
that pull down over the hasp and military styles, which are cam
activated twist locks, that are better suited for rugged use.
