Many years ago, I had a Chris Reeves SF knife. We crammed too much stuff in a very large Pelican Case. It wouldn't open. I tried to pry it open with my knife. The knife snapped. I was only using my hands on the knife.
I researched. I found the Scrap Yard after finding Knife Test.
Yesterday, the same thing happened, almost. The case holding my satellite uplink gear wouldn't open. We pulled and kicked. No use.
I wedged my Wardog in there. We took turns pulling and pushing on the thing. Even the big Marines couldn't open it.
Don't over stuff a Pelican case like a suit case where you have to sit on it to close it. Especially with hard items.
Bullet meets the meat time. I crammed the Wardog in again. Then I stood on it. I bounced. The case opened. Blade is still true.

Excellent example of hard use. Glad you had the right tool for the job.

That sounds about right, haha. Even the toughest pelican case can't stand up to a Busse!

That and the warranty. Mess it up doing something like that, and they'll still fix it or give ya a new one.
