I've never found anyone that beats what I could find on Amazon.
Pelicans are great but they're heavy as f&ck. I don't use them for normal tools. |

Use a hard side golf club case if you can find one. The size and weight limits are much higher for "golf clubs" without extra fees.
My scuba gear rides in style in a SKB golf case. |

I would order from Amazon if I didn't have to be gone by tomorrow evening. Hence my thought of picking something up in DFW or OKC. How do you travel with your tools? I'm not talking about a ton. Electrical diagnostic gear and various hand tools. Stuff I can't carry on. |

I toss my boots and hardhat in there too. I'm 99% hand tools, 1% fluke meter. Never had a problem. |

Fry's or Altex are the only two places that come to mind, but I don't know that they carry any that big. I need to invest in a good hardside suitcase soon myself. Some of my tradeshow stuff, even if I hand carry it to the event, I fedex or UPS it back home instead of dicking around with the airlines.

Competitive Camera in Dallas carries Pelican. Can't promise they have any of the cases you quoted, but they've got some big Pelican cases.

Any good big retail camera shop should have some 1600s in stock. Most camera gear is transported in those. You could last ditch effort try Craigslist, but I was just down in Houston and saw nothing worth while.
Those big cases will start pushing you close to the weight limit before you even add tools. Food for thought, because we all like the big cases until you're standing with 85 pound hard case in line. |

H&H Gun Sales in OKC sells them. Not cheap though.
