Forget the store-bought tote. They are IMO all junk. Made of sawdust & glue. They never last very long. I do think the cordless starter is a worthwile investment. I have a few starters but the only one I ever use anymore is my cordless. Lot of people borrowing the cordless too because they're sick of dragging so much stuff out to the flight line & worrying about keeping the cord out of the prop , or pulling the banana plugs out of the power panel. I originally bought this box primarily for the satelite starter box but as I allready stated it started falling apart right away.

With the detachable satelite starter box it at least lightened the load to flight line, unfortunately I still had to keep the cord out of the way & the boxes themselves are just poorly made. The only ones I see last very long are homebuilt with at least 3/8" hard wood.
