I bought this SpaceCase in 1986 and have used it pretty much all the time since then – 29 years! It looks just about as good as new. They came in many different colours – I can remember trying to choose between teal, pink, white and yellow but went for classic black. Nowadays I wish I had chosen the neon pink.
The sad thing is, they have ‘upgraded’ this model to be more trendy and cool and they are not so well-made anymore. This one is thick plastic and wears like iron. I wish I could find another one.
Quite wide in order to fit 30cm rulers
Firm clip fastening with no bits sticking out and no parts to break
There is a slot at the front into which you slide your rulers
The top tray and a part of the interior lift out.
All the items I use most are in the top removable tray. I can take this with me to wherever I am working in the house. You can see I have a lot of lead pointers as I use 2mm 2H lead and the lead pointers I use to sharpen them get blunt very quickly. I buy lead pointers in bulk.
This slides out in case you have a long item like a large pair of scissors, which would otherwise not fit.
Bottom tray holds stencils, other rulers and items used less often.
