Pelican 1520 Case With Foam (Black)

I've been a huge fan of Pelican cases for a long time, and this case is no exception. I reserve Pelican cases for the most sensitive and expensive items I own, and I recently bought a Labradar Ballistic Chronograph. Being orange, I wanted to find a case that would work with it and noticed that Pelican makes orange cases. I typically buy the "Storm" cases, versus the "Protector" case that this is. I think I prefer the storm case's latches and lightness, however this case is built like a tank, and I have 100% confidence that this will hold up to absolutely anything I can put it through and then some. I buy Pelican because I want the best; great cases like this are an investment/insurance for whatever you place inside. One note on the foam...This case comes with "Pick and Pluck" foam. I'm not personally a fan of it. I have built my own hot wire cutter (You can find DIY articles and videos online that show how to do this) - This allows me to cut the foam precisely how I like it, instead of having to pluck hundreds of blocks out. Maybe you will prefer the pick and pluck, but it's not for me. I had some replacement foam that I had bought for a previous project that I was able to cut to size for this case, so I went ahead with that rather than the foam that came with the case. If you are looking to build your own hot wire cutter, all you need is some stainless steel wire (It must be stainless steel due to high internal resistance) - this is easily found at a "big box" store like Home Depot, Lowe's, or Menards, or many grocery stores in their hardware section...the easiest way to get it is find stainless steel picture hanging wire. It usually comes in strands of 5-7 wires coiled...just separate them out, and it's the perfect thickness for cutting foam. I keep old electronic parts when I dispose of old things I have, and somewhere along the way (I think my old furnace) had a 24v AC transformer, rated for 40VA. This was perfect, and I recommend AC transformers vs. DC because AC transformers allow you to use a typical cheap dimmer switch/wheel to adjust the heat the wire is at. I've found that 1 amp of current at 24V is the perfect amount for one of these picture hanging wire strands to cut the foam that comes in Pelican cases. I also made a hot wire thickness planer using the same parts, and with these two simple tools, I can cut foam out however I want with great accuracy and precision. All of my gun cases, etc, are cut in this manner. I'm happy to share more details with anyone that would like them, just reply in the comments!

When I found myself in need of a carrying case, I very carefully considered many options and brands. Of course, a short amount of research and past personal experiences with such cases eventually led me to the pelican case brand. That decision made, I was then left with the task of choosing the proper model for my needs. After much time and effort, I found myself drawn to the 1520 case, and with only minor reservations I pressed buy. Two short days later I arrived home and saw that a package had been delivered to my home. With great anticipation, I opened the box and found within it the pelican 1520 case with foam. I quickly rounded up the items to be placed within and was pleasantly surprised to find that the items would all fit. Careful cutting and plucking of the foam resulting in well nested items secure within the confines of the case. At this point I then began to explore the other features of this case. I found that the handle was very securely attached to the case and was well designed and balanced such that you could easily carry the case with 1 hand. The presence of not 1 but 2 metal lock loops that easily accepted standard master lock padlocks assured that the contents of the case would be secure from prying eyes. The shell of the case is obviously quite strong and appears capable of surviving a fall from great heights and at high speed, though I have not tested this. The latches provide positive confirmation that they have closed, though those with weak fingers may have a hard time manipulating them. Overall I cannot think of anything that I would change to improve this case. In all seriousness, you get what you pay for when it comes to cases and pelican cases are well worth the money for protecting whatever you Need to put in them.

These cases are everything you need if you are looking for a heavy duty carrying case. I've used different Pelican Cases for years and have no real complaints. This unit comes with the 'Pick N Pluck' foam which makes it very easy to custom fit just about any size and shape item. Although it works great to protect most items, keep in mind that it will not work very well for extremely heavy items which will have a tendency to compress the foam and move around. For those, considered purchasing a harder foam from various vendors that offer pre-cut solutions. Pelican warranty has been great and I've used them a couple of times to replace parts that got damaged during shipping (handles). This case comes with 3 layers of foam; a corrugated layer in the lid, a thick 'Pick N Pluck' layer in the middle and a thin layer bellow that. If you have small items you'll be storing, consider keeping the pieces you remove and cutting them down to change the height. Replacement foam is also available if you decide to change the configuration of your case: Pelican 1521 Replacement 3 Pc Pick 'N' Pluck Foam Set for the 1520 Case It is available in various colors and with the following optional accessories: Pelican 1525 Padded Divider Set for the 1520 Case, Single Layer (Black)

Cumplió la expectativa que tenía de él.

It's a pelican case. It's tough as nails on the outside and foamy and protective on the inside. In the words of Hulk Hogan "Anything less would be uncivilized!"

I don't need to build a case, to compliment this case. The quality speaks for itself. Very durable. Feel like I could toss my pistols down a waterfall, with it. The desert tan is nice!

Exactly as expected. I have a dozen Pelican cases for everything from dive gear to cameras to amateur radio gear. No complaints, except for the high price tag. Having said that, this is a case of you get what you pay for.
