I think I went too far on my test kit storage

I had mycasebuilder cut it. I think they use water-jet for cutting the foam. It's very clean.Very neat! How was it cut? Laser? Super clean. I did mine with an exacto knife.

A decent hot wire foam cutter can make quick work of a foam block. But it will still look a little wonky if you do it by hand … that there looks like it was cut using CNC machine.

Yeah, it's a Pelican Storm im2100. I tried to design everything to fit in the smaller im2075, but it was too tight.How about the case? Looks like a tiny Pelican Case? Very nice set up!

So. And believe me, I appreciate the over engineering. 
But the case and foam alone costs more than the TFpro does.
I mean. As much as I love the TFpro, it doesn't satisfy the itch to walk around with a nuclear football, but it's still amazing otherwise.
Promise me you'll pretend to answer the phone with a 'yes sir' and repeat a 20 digit alpha numeric sequence before pressing the speed stir button.

I like it!
Just don’t leave it laying around town anywhere or this may happen to you
SWAT & the Bomb Squad 💣!
Poor pool guy….. Our town tends to overreact/complain about everything so I’m usually not surprised when I see some of the posts on our town’s “happenings” fb page. However, this one caught me by surprise & has me feeling bad for the poor guy/gal who forgot their kit- i hope he didn’t get fired.

I promise I will. I can see the eye-rolls from my wife already.So. And believe me, I appreciate the over engineering.

Newdude is right. I certainly appreciate the quality and workmanship that went into your kit. That said, the TFPro and/or the TFPro Salt is a much better value money wise. However, I somehow think you weren't setting out with price in mind..........that's a cool looking kit
If I was trying to save money, I think installing my pool last year was a big mistake.... lolNewdude is right. I certainly appreciate the quality and workmanship that went into your kit.

I don’t know if there’s a monthly contest this month, but whatever the topic post the photo of your kit and I’ll vote for it. It appeals to my organization dreams.
GREAT suggestion Kul !!!
What would be more TFP than a coolest test kit contest ? Lots of people have DIY'd a case from a tackle box up to the Armageddon proof case above.
Maybe @Texas Splash will put it in the rotation one of these months.

That’s awesome!!Is that a Pelican case?Organization and neatness is the key to success

What would really complete the case is some embossed foil labels for each chemical compartment and a nice laminated color instruction sheet for the testing procedures secured into the top of the case. A brass tag on the outside of the case stating the contents and owner name would complete the cool 
look. You could stroll into any pool party with and be the BOSS -

I would have the internal compartment gyroscopically stabilized so that the reagents were always upright regardless of which way the case was oriented.
I would also make the case, bulletproof, bombproof and fireproof.
I would have a method to inject nitrogen into the case when it was closed so that the internal atmosphere was inert.
I would make the case temperature controlled to keep the reagents at the optimal storage temperature.
I would have an individual scale for each reagent so that you always know how much reagent you have left.
But, if you want to be cavalier about storing your test reagents, that’s your choice.

That would be the first $5,000 dollar test kit sell the idea to Taylor “the new K-5000 test kit”!!
