Tools and Hardware Reviews of J. Terence Thompson 2851-1B Large 37-by-17-1/2-by-14-Inch Wheeled Storage Trunk
Customer Review: In CONUS suitable, OCONUS miserable
Summary: 2 Stars
I have been using this product for a number of years only for the ease of purchasing it locally. I have had to purchase several of them for trips CONUS to OCONUS and back. All the boxes I have purchased have one problem or another. Some of the issues are: Wheels fall off, handle pops off, latches bend easily and every last one of them is cracked one way or another. Someone needs to come up with a case that has rugged wheels for the bowling ball gardens and moon dust. It should be light tan or olive drab in color and twice as thick plastic to resist cracking or warping, and above all, absolutely affordable for the troops.Customer Review: Awful Product
Summary: 1 Stars
Extremely disappointed...the box does hold stuff...that is about it. It is paper thin plastic, not very durable, latches do not line up and hence do not work. I had to repair the cheap hinge right out of the shipping carton. It was not damaged, just poor manufacturing and quality control. Had I seen this product in person before I bought it, I would not have considered it..it is terrible. Contico make a similar container at far less money that is really nice, but does not have wheels. When this piece of crap falls apart (soon, I am sure) I will buy a Contico at Lowes for 2/3 the price.....what a disappointment.Customer Review: so disappointing in so many ways
Summary: 1 Stars
The storage trunk arrived broken in two places, and after I had opened it to see how bad the damage was, I was unable to latch it securely again without help because the latches were so poorly aligned.
Also, the website says "Ships Separately in Original Packaging", which I did not understand meant that they slapped a Fed Ex label directly on the storage trunk. The only "packaging" aside from the shipping label was a packing slip stuck to the inside of the trunk.
I might buy this again, if I could get it locally (so I could visually inspect it prior to purchase) AND at a discount.
Customer Review: Camp Mom
Summary: 2 Stars
I purchased this trunk to ship my child's clothes to camp. It was roomy enough, but I was disapointed in how it withstood shipping! Although we used the lock-hole, the actual lock was ripped through the hole (so no protection there). The closures were extrememly beat up and bent, but still usable. If you use this to ship via USPS, re-enforce the closures using strapping tape (NOT regular shipping tape!)all the way around both ends of the trunk for extra security. The shape will warp if not secured on both ends, leaving the contents accessible to anyone. I will not buy another trunk of this type.Customer Review: Good case but dimensions given are deceiving
Summary: 4 Stars
Bought two of these for carrying lighting equipment for a band. Based on the dimensions given, I believed the equipment intended for these cases would fit perfectly. Well, the measurments are of the outside of the case...not the inside. A good deal with free shipping means I'm keeping them for other things but it won't be for the intended purpose. Even went to the JTT website and could not get any more accurate measurments of the inside. I do recommend the case based on the quality and design but you will need to knock off about 2" on every dimension to get a good idea of what will fit inside.
