Pelican Protector Cases at Acklands/Grainger – Model 1550 $129.99
I was in at Acklands Grainger about two weeks ago looking for some metric screws for my new stainless kitchen handles and noticed a new flyer out on the desk. The sale started that Monday (Feb 01 – March 26, 2010) but noticed they have the Pelican PLC1550BK on sale for $129.99 (regular $308.99).
Anyhow… the flyer has the wrong sizes (but the girl there verified the new catalog dimensions are the same as the flyer) as it states the exterior dimensions are 52.4″L x 42.8″W x 20.6″ D yet the Pelican site says the interior dimensions are 18.43″ x 14.00″ x 7.62″ (46.8 x 35.5 x 19.3 cm).
I assumed the Pelican site was right and Acklands has a misprint in both their flyer and upcoming catalogs… and yes when it arrived it is definitely the smaller version like Pelican states.
Either or… I picked up two of them as they are almost indestructible and waterproof to boot. I was thinking they would be great for the small flashes I have or even lens storage.
To that end… I’ve only managed to “pluck and pick” the foam from one of them for now… and I decided instead of making it into a kit to grab and go that I’d set the case up for storage of my main camera/lenses.
I’ve still got one more to fill with my Flashes and Accessories such as the triggers, remotes, hotshoes and such… but am actually wishing I had two more for my studio lights as well as these.
Hmm… what’s a guy to do? Did I mention they have a LIFETIME GAURENTEE on them?
