will you trust to travel with it on an airplane? you think it could withstand handling or weight on it ?

I think it'd be much too big to bring as a carry on. I'm not sure I'd trust baggage handlers. I mean, it is pretty durable, but I've seen the way they pitch stuff around. It's durable plastic but still plastic. It's withstood us beating the crap out of it for 5 months.

Mine is sitting between 2 oil wells as I type this. It has been extremely useful out here, but I would not trust it with any baggage handlers!!!

I don't think it would be suitable for airline travel unless it was packed in another box. It could withstand a good bit of weight on it, and maybe the abuse, but no locking feature and sturdier means of securing the top sliding parts make it risky to say the least.

I think it would have to be boxed to travel on an airplane. There's just too much plastic. As for stacking something on top of it, I probably wouldn't put more than 50 pounds on it. Just my opinion.

No, I would not trust an airline with this item. Nor would I put a lot of weight on top of it. Especially the "see through" top part.

Don't know how you would lock it so no one could open it. IT is strong but I don't know with the way baggage handlers handle things.
925522
Not if there was any rough handling. This would also depend on how much weight was put on it

I've dropped mine......no problem........I wouldn't drop it out of an airplane though.

It does have some weight to it, but I was able to carry it in my purse when flying, and it was OK.

It is rather strange the way it is, in my opinion. If you plan to just use it around home, you can care for it well enough that it won't get damaged. But if you plan to travel with it, be prepared for it to get scratched and cracked. The airline staff don't care and it will get thrown around. Also scratched it a few times ourselves when we were in a big hurry to get it folded up and on a bus.

Hi! I may have answered already, but here is: No, this toolbox won't survive the airlines' handling (if you can call so). I purchased two of them, and both had the handler broken in about one week. It is not strong, it is not well balanced, I would say it does not hold the "Stanley Quality". I gave ti to the crew that cleans our office and they love it (just carry some bottles of cleaning, and some paper towel rolls.

Yes! I would be relatively careful with it but as long as it doesn't get shook around a bunch its definitely small enough and durable enough to be portable.

I have never flown with it, but I have escorted my (minor) son through TSA/security with it many times, and never had a problem. I am always approached at the gate by attendants ready to load it for me (until they find out I am escorting only), so I assume that means it's ok. :)

I have owned one for a year and have traveled extensively with it. It is very sturdy.

Yes I have traveled a few times with this case on airlines without any issues. It meets TSA travel requirements. Make sure to check your carrier guidelines since they may vary, but for the most part have it in your check in baggage and notify the attendee during check in and they will provide you with a card to fill out. It is perfect for flying.

Yes. I have taken mine when I travel. I am not gentle on my stuff and this has stood up well. I use it for work and I love it, it holds more than you think.

Maybe you need check US flights safety requirement, usually could carry it to air flights but not allow to use

Probably even in/on an ultra light. It's pretty small. Or do you mean can you put it into checked baggage on commercial air? I would imagine so, since there is nothing pressurized about it.Happy flying!J

It can survive drops easily. If something heavy dropped/any sort of moderate blunt force(angled right) on it though, it might get damaged.

It's perfect for that use. It may get a little banged up on the flight, but you can carry a lot. I used them to move abroad, and I'm very happy with them.

Hi - I own this unit and it's pretty good. I would not take it on a plane - it's awkward even folded up - the handle sticks out - I think you'd find it a real pain to try and fit - no flex.

I'm sure it could handle the weight, I've checked in the bike as luggage but bought a bag for it. HTH

It is pretty heavy. I would not be inclined to take it on an airplane. Ok for a car trip, but still a bit heavy and awkward to manage.
