SO I WAS FLIPPING THROUGH MY LATEST ISSUE OF THE
RED TAG SALE MAGAZINE FROM HARBOR
FREIGHT DECEMBER 2017 ISSUE 8786 AND I CAME
ACROSS THIS AD RIGHT HERE SO ON PAGE 69
IT SHOWS NEW APACHE RUGGED MOBILITY ULTA LIGHT
CRUSH PROOF WEATHER RESISTANT
LOCKABLE CASES AND THERE YOU GO THERE THEY ARE
RIGHT THERE APACHE 1800 2800
AND THE 3800 SERIES I THINK I PAID RIGHT AROUND
$100 BUCKS FOR ALL THESE BUT I GOT THEM
FOR YOU GUYS I GOT’EM CAUSE I WANTED TO SHOW
YOU GUYS EXACTLY WHAT THEY ARE ALL
ABOUT SO BACK IN THE DAY BEFORE I HAD KIDS BUNDY
WAS A BIG SCUBA DIVER RIGHT SO I HAVE
PELICAN CASES A YELLOW ONE A BLACK ONE HERE UM
I COULD BRING OUT MY REALLY BIG ONE
THAT I HAVE BUT I WON’T BORE YOU WITH THAT I WANT
TO DO A COMPARRASION BETWEEN
PELICAN CASES AND APACHE 2800 CASE FROM
HARBOR FREIGHT THESE PELICAN CASES FALL
INBETWEEN THE 2800 AND THE 1800 SERIES CAUSE
YOU CAN SEE THE 1800 SERIES IS A LITTLE
BIT SMALLER THAN THIS ONE AND THIS ONE’S A LITTLE
BIT SMALLER THAN THIS ONE
SO FIRST THING RIGHT OFF THE BAT IS THE LATCHES
ON THE PELICAN ARE JUST SUPER NICE
THERE EASY TO OPERATE LIKE A TWO STAGE IT’S LIKE A
TWO STAGE LATCH A LITTLE BIT
TOUGHER TO GET OPEN THERES JUST SMOOTH ACTION
ON THE LATCHES HERE COMPARED TO
APACHE HARBOR FREIGHT
SO THE LATCHES ARE DEFINITELY EASIER TO USE ON
THE PELICAN CASE
ANOTHER FEATURE THAT I LIKE ABOUT THE PELICAN
OVER THE HARBOR FREIGHT APACHE
IS THAT THE VENT THE VENTING VALVE IT’S A SELF
REGULATING VENT VALVE WHERE ON THE
APACHE IT’S JUST A SCREW YOU HAVE TO OPEN AND
CLOSE IT BY HAND
BEFORE BEFORE YOU CAN RELASE THE PRESSURE IT
DOESN’T DO IT AUTOMATICALLY
I DON’T KNOW IF YOU GUYS CAN SEE THAT BUT THE
O-RING RIGHT THERE IS ALREADY
COMING OUT THESE ARE BRAND NEW CASES THAT
MEANS I WOULD HAVE TO PULL THIS WHOLE
SCREW ASSEMBLY OUT TO REPLACE THAT O RING SO
THAT MEANS YOU HAVE TO CLOSE THIS
BEFORE YOU THROW IT INTO WATER OR THROW IT INTO
A LAKE OR TAKE IT TAKE IT WHERE IT CAN GET
WET WHERE AS WITH THE PELICAN CASE IT
AUTOMATICALLY SEALS THERE IS NO THINKING ABOUT
THIS YOU JUST THROW IT IN THE WATER AND FORGET
ABOUT IT IF THAT’S WHAT YOU NEED TO DO
THERE ARE A FEW THINGS THE PELICAN CASE HAS
OVER THE HARBOR FREIGHT APACHE CASES BUT FOR
THE PRICE THE PRICE POINT ON THIS CASE CANNOT
COME CLOSE TO THE TO THE PELICAN
UM YEAH YOU MIGHT HAVE TO MOVE THE VALVE
MANUALLY UM TO MAKE SURE IT’S WATER TIGHT
AND THEN IF YOU GO UP IN THE MOUNTAINS AND SEAL
IT OR YOUR AT SEA LEVEL AND SEAL AND GO
INTO THE MOUNTAINS THERE WILL BE PRESSURE
INSIDE THE CASE SO YOU HAVE TO MANUALLY
ADJUST THIS SCREW TO EQUALIZE ATMOSPHERIC
PRESSURE BUT LIKE I SAID YOU CAN’T BEAT
THIS ON THE PRICE THIS APACHE CASE RIGHT HERE $30
BUCKS USD THE SMALL ONE THE SMALL
APACHE 1800 WAS $14.99 USD AND THE APACHE 3800
THE BIG ONE RIGHT HERE $40 BUCKS
THIS PELICAN CASE 10 12 PLUS YEARS AGO PROBABLY
COST ME ABOUT $60 DOLLARS SO THE
BOTTOM LINE IS YOU DO GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR THE
PELCIAN IS I THINK I THINK MY PERSONAL
OPINION IS A BETTER CASE THE APACHE IS A CLOSE
SECOND IF IT HAD THIS VALVE TECHNOLOGY
AND THE LATCHES WE’RE A LITTLE BIT EASIER I WOULD
RATE IT RIGHT UP THERE WITH PELICAN
BUT I KNOW THAT AH PELICAN HAS A PATENT ON THIS
ONE WAY CHECK VALVE THAT
EQUALIZES THE PRESSURE SO I DON’T THINK ANYBODY
ELSE CAN USE IT THE HARBOR FREIGHT
APACHE HAS IT ON PRICE THAT’S WHERE YOUR GOING
TO WIN ON THIS CASE THE FOAM THE
FOAM IS NICE AND THICK OBVIOUSLY YOU CAN PULL IT
APART OUT ANYTHING YOU WANT IN HERE
A SMALL DRONE CAMERA GEAR SCUBA DIVING GEAR
EQUIPMENT BUT LET ME SHOW YOU THE
DIMENSIONS ON IT SO WE WILL START WITH THE BABY
ONE THE APACHE 1800 LITTLE TINY SEALS
HAS THE FOAM INSERTS THIS ONE’S PRETTY COOL IT
HAS LAYER OF FOAM YOU WOULD ACTUALLY
JUST START PEELING YOU CAN SEE IT HAS CUBES YOU
CAN PEEL OUT SO THE INSIDE LENGTH
IS 8 INCHES AND A QUARTER 8 AND A QUARTER INCHES
ALMOST 6 ALMOST 6 INCHES HERE
5 AND ¾ AND THEN THE DEPTH IS RIGHT UNDER 3
INCHES SO THAT’S THE 1800 TAKE THIS FOAM OUT
THIS IS JUST ONE BIG FOAM PAD RIGHT AT 1 FOOT 9
INCHES 4 AND A HALF INCHES
SO THAT THE 2800 HARBOR FRIGHT APACHE CASE
LETS LOOK AT THE 3800 SO HERES THE BIGGEST CASE
HARBOR FREIGHT OFFERS
THE 3800 ALSO ONE KEY THING IT HAS HERE YOU CAN
PEEL PULL THIS OFF SLIDES IN AND OUT
IF YOU WANT TO MAKE A NAMETAG FOR IT THIS IS ONE
BIG THING OF FOAM AS WELL
LITTLE CUBES THAT YOU PEEL OUT FOR YOUR
EQUIPMENT SO THAT COMES IN AT 14 AND THREE
QUARTERS 10 AND A HALF INCHES THE DEPTH 4 AND A
HALF INCHES RIGHT THERE
YEAH YOU KNOW WHAT LIKE I SAID I SAW THESE CASES
IN THE HARBOR FREIGHT AD
I HAD TO GET THEM I HAD TO SHOW YOU GUYS WHAT
THESE WERE ALL ABOUT AL LTHE REVIEWS
I’VE SEEN ONLINE SEEM PRETTY GOOD I WISH THEY
WOULD COME IF ANYBODY FROM HARBOR
FREIGHT OR APACHE OR WHOEVER MAKES THIS FOR
THEM IF YOU GUYS COULD COME OUT WITH
DIFFERENT COLORS LIKE A YELLOW WOULD BE NICE OR
AN ORANGE OR MAYBE EVEN A BLUE
THAT WOULD BE PRETTY COOL IF YOU GUYS NEED A
GOOD CASE TO PUT A GUN IN CARRY A DRONE
AROUND IN PUT YOUR CAMERA EQUIPMENT IN PUT
YOUR SCUBA DIVING EQUIPMENT IN AND YOU
DON’T FEEL LIKE SPENDING A WHOLE BUNCH OF
MONEY ON PELICAN AND YOU DON’T MIND HAVING
TO ADJUST THE PRESSURE RELEASE VALVE BY
YOURSELF MANUALLY THEN GO WITH A HARBOR
FREIGHT
APACHE CASE BUT IF YOU JUST WANT TO FORGET
ABOUT IT AND KNOW YOUR GHEAR IS SECURE
STICK WITH A PELICAN YOU CAN FIND PELICAN ON
AMAZON.COM YOU USE TO BE ABLE TO
FIND THESE ARE SPORTS CHALET BEFORE SPORTS
