I think the 737 bag is 13" wide vs the normal 14".
Next, PNT 737. Built like a tank...
I've had mine for well over a decade and it's still going strong. I do not have the 737 bag and it is a small struggle to wedge it under the 2nd jumpseat in a classic 737, but fits easily under the seat of an NG 737.Hey guys....I'm going to the 737 and need a new bag. I'm going with another luggage works bag. Is the 737 bag preferred over the normal bag? I like the normal bag more but want to make the best decision. Thanks for your input.
I was constantly having to tighten screws on it,
I thought the same when I first got it, but it really isn't. As you said, it's a lot of maintenance.
Honestly, my experience with the thing was mixed at best. I was constantly having to tighten screws on it, all the zippers except the main one wore out in fairly short order, the side rails bowed in and disconnected from the frame, the handle material fell apart, the velcro fastener to hold the handle down didn't last six months, and so on.
The worst finally happened when I ordered a new set of wheels to put on it, and as I was unscrewing the old ones, discovered that the "indestructible" cast-metal frame was anything but. It had cracked almost completely in half, and was bowing out as I tried to unscrew the wheel. I ended up having to ship the thing back to get the frame replaced, which cost me well over $100. But hey, that got me new feet, which replaced the others that had been sharpened to a razor edge.
It was a roomy bag that rolled very nicely, and the company was very nice to work with. Still, I eventually retired it due to the weight and the surprising amount of maintenance it required. I'm now on the same Costco bag I've had for several years now, and it's serving me very well.
