During the past few years I've noticed that manufacturers are increasingly providing zippered cloth carry bags instead of hard plastic carry cases for their tool kits (drills, saws, etc). I greatly prefer the durability of the hard cases when my tools are being transported. I also find hard cases are far easier to keep organized. I really dislike the cloth carry bags. It seems to me that the hard plastic cases would be less expensive to produce than the zippered bags. Does anybody have ideas on why manufacturers have gone to these bags? Does anybody prefer them? What advantages do they offer? I don't get it.
