Case for PST scope?

#1

Post by Ylem »


Hey all, anyone find a decent case for a PST?
I see they sell one for a hundred bucks, you use your existing shipping box foam.

I am on the search for an affordable solution.
I looked at some tool boxes at the hardware store but they would all involve a lot of foam trimming and even adding foam.

I really don't want to cut the foam in case I had to ship it in it's original box.

Just wondering if anyone found anything decent for their PST.

I carried mine in a case like this. If you search around the site you should find the model filled with cube foam.

I see that is a knock off of
ECLIPSE TOOLS 900-048

Eclipse, 😆 guess it will do 😆
We have a Harbour Freight here in town :)

Thanks for the suggestion.
