For years I worked for a company which used Zero Halliburton items as incentive/ bonus awards. I still have several of the aluminum suitcases, brief cases and train cases. They were used a great deal and all but 2 show very little wear and tear. Just some scratches and dings. One of those two broke at the hinge after severe abuse in Alaska in winter. The other was used to ship beer, but that's too long a story.

The quality of these products is without question, but the aluminum are heavy empty.

I checked mine dozens of times but that was before the modern weight restrictions. Good luck making a choice. Very hard to do. Are you the sort who worries if things get scratched up?
