I own several Pelican cases, these things are excellent cases. Great warranty (guaranteed for Life) & made in the USA, far better than those cheap chinese knockoffs from Harbor Freight.
I have the 1650 and the 1630. I keep my emergency bag in the 1650 in the back of my vehicle, and I chain the Pelican to the frame so it can’t easily be stolen. Pretty much fool proof against smash and grab - most thieves don’t carry bolt cutters.
Being prior military I have two of the 1610's one smaller than the 1610 and a couple of the larger one's. The bigger ones I use for my hunting clothes because they are air tight.
I bought some of those surplus cases if you know where I can find the outside plug that connects to that connector I would love it. It wouldn’t allow me to use that connection.
One this particular one you don't have to worry about the pressure relief valve, or water proofness since that brass plaque on the front been pop rivited on and now have permanent holes in it...
I have one a little smaller the 1610 and a couple range bag size. The large one is for my arm pistol and night vision. The smallest is set up with grab and go ammo and the other will be used for comms and other small electronics.
For anyone that doesn’t want to spend 230 for a case. Harbor freight has Apache cases that are direct competitors of pelicans the Apache 5800 at 99.99 is a replacement for the 1510 so it’s slightly smaller however your not spending 230 for it. You could buy 2 for that same cost.
I'd suggest otherwise. Everything I've bought from harbor freight had a short life. From tarps to bungee cords to sledgehammer. All have either worn out prematurely or broke. Nothing but Chinese made crap
@@SkidVicious1971 except all hand tools including that sledgehammer has a lifetime warranty and once you buy one you never need to spend for another.. I never had any issues with their products .
@Raver Magik so a lifetime warranty on junk. But it's still junk. Case in point- splitting logs with their splitting maul. Cutting edge wasn't sharp so i took it to the grinder. 20 minutes later and it was sharp enough. Metal head cracked in half after 4 hours of use. Went back to store, 20 minutes, back home, 20 minutes and then to the local Ace hardware store for a name brand which was another 30 minutes. So an hour and a half of my time spent on a $25 ax that broke and wasn't even sharp to begin with? Hard, hard pass on all things harbor freight
Hi SOOTCH, I tried the coupon code this is the second order and got the 20.00 off, thanks for that. I thought I heard you say it was 20.00 per hundred?.. Keep your powder dry.
Think of them as new, unissued stock. Functionally they are new. With the member discount and the sootch discount you're getting them for $66 less than new retail, I think. Didn't he say $204 with the discounts and free shipping?
I think it's funny that you mention the ventalator things can be removed and thats an indicator that that nonsense is all behind us. The bigger indicator to me is that Pelican is actually trying to sell this imperfect product and did not even bother taking the tags off themselves. Perspective I guess.
I think its funnier that you can get a brand new one for $270 and they're selling these for $250. So for a savings of $20 you can get a case thats been beat to hell and has its foam ruined for something you can't even use it for. By the time you buy new foam for it, you could have bought the new one and probably even saved a few bucks.
@@Enough_Tumbleweed yeah, Sootch for the win 🤣 I stopped really watching this guy years ago. I stay subscribed mostly to see this exact kind of nonsense.
@@jkfoltz0224 I mean I get it, hes sponsored by them, but that $20 you save is eliminated with shipping costs and tax. Youre def better off buying a brand new one.
So not only is it not new.. it's foam is useless for anything else.. the case has a hole in it.. and all that.. Even with the Club price and the sootch discount.. add in replacement foam from Pelican and it's now $300. New from Pelican is like $275 and you can get 10% off straight from them. This is way overpriced from Sportsmans Guide. Maybe if it was $99 but at this price, no way.

I just got good news yesterday.. a friend of the family's just gave me 119 military ammo cans woohoo
Are you in central Texas?
@@JackParsons2 nope..sorry
I hope they didn't come from sportsman's guide. I got some from them a couple years ago and they were absolute trash.
@@Enough_Tumbleweed nah these are the older ones. Real real tough I only have to spray paint them the paint is a little worn out
Being prior military I have two of the 1610's one smaller than the 1610 and a couple of the larger one's. The bigger ones I use for my hunting clothes because they are air tight.
any updates on this 1610..on how it looked after using it?
I bought some of those surplus cases if you know where I can find the outside plug that connects to that connector I would love it. It wouldn’t allow me to use that connection.
i have many peli cases. good also for hamradio gear. I find the 1550 a good size.
looks like this case will be a great one for the setup you are planning. you could recycle the foam you take out for use elsewhere
Good video on a good product. When you say retract I think you mean extend. Retract means to pull in,like retractable landing gear on a plane.
Hell yeah brother. He goes by "Poop Scooter" at the range. He's got all the military surplus gear.
Thanks for letting us know
Does the rivets on that tag affect the water resistance?
One this particular one you don't have to worry about the pressure relief valve, or water proofness since that brass plaque on the front been pop rivited on and now have permanent holes in it...
That's what I was thinking, I was actually going to buy one till I seen that.
Just make sure you can get a replacement gasket. I have 2 cases and one they definitely do not make a gasket for anymore. Yes I called them.
I have had one of these for years and really like.
The cord is for power to run the ventilator.
Just picked up 3 1620s at goodwill for $35 ea
I have seen HUMVEE's on Pelican cases used as jack stands. With a piece of plywood on top.
Nanuk cases are sweet as well
I use a nice hacksaw blade or a serrated bread knife for cutting foam.
I have one a little smaller the 1610 and a couple range bag size. The large one is for my arm pistol and night vision. The smallest is set up with grab and go ammo and the other will be used for comms and other small electronics.
Where do I purchase a used pelican case
Sportsman's Guide.
$20 off $100 purchase with code "SOOTCH"
If you live any near East Tennessee I’ve got a bunch that I’ve no use for. I’m not shipping anything though lol.
We always used those small ones to hold cigars
How much does it cost?
$250 if your not a member.
But you can get a brand new one for $270 thats not beat to death and has its foam intact.
@@Enough_Tumbleweed thanks!!!
For anyone that doesn’t want to spend 230 for a case. Harbor freight has Apache cases that are direct competitors of pelicans the Apache 5800 at 99.99 is a replacement for the 1510 so it’s slightly smaller however your not spending 230 for it. You could buy 2 for that same cost.

Correct me if I'm wrong....but if this was made for ventilators for covid.....didn't my taxes pay for it once and now I have to pay again to own 1?
Why is there no link???
I just bought that same case on ebay for 49.00 shipped on eBay bay.
Hi SOOTCH, I tried the coupon code this is the second order and got the 20.00 off, thanks for that. I thought I heard you say it was 20.00 per hundred?.. Keep your powder dry.
Looks like a great case for comms.
Pelican... the best hard cases products.
All Pelican everything 😎
I use 3 of the pelican 1120 for all my precious metals ✊🇺🇸
Great video..
Great case
That's really nice
I'm watching
Will these protect electronics from an EMP?
No, they're plastic and foam. You'd need to protect the items with some sort of EM shield then put them in the case.
Nice!
You can get a brand new on for $270. These should be less than what they're selling them for 🤷♂️
They say new on the site.. it seems they were made for something but never went into action just produced for it.
@@N0body247 ... so then... not new.

@@PaulDukich new as in it never had a machine in it..it was surplus cases that never got used
@@N0body247.. Not new as in it's been modified in multiple ways for a custom use that nobody else needs.

1660s cases are the bomb. They survived multiple trips to IraqAstan.
I work with those every day
👍
610 or 1610?
1610
@@Enough_Tumbleweed little confusing because in the beginning he said 610 ,just making sure
Hey! Did you hear? Last night observatories in Hawaii were struck by lasers from space. Really, check it out 😳
1620 and 1630 are better for prepping

Pelican has sold out to another company though they don’t make these good old cases anymore
Wow
Hmmm 🤔.
Only $7000 , no big deal
