It's not only the handles breaking that makes us recommend not carrying by the handle. By this age, a lot of the glue has crumbled, moulded or otherwise given way. Many of the dowels and nails are no longer secure. The whole machine can actually come crashing out leaving you with a lid in your hands. An OSMG guy told me he's had tons of cases self destruct on him over the years.

Kind of off topic but speaking of tough plastic.....I went to the kitchen and made myself a sandwich a few minutes ago. The self-sealing cheese package had that strip on top that said “To open, tear here”.
I guess I’m still not to the age yet to just go get a pair of scissors when I see that, but that’s what it finally took again this time. Too bad the soft luggage companies don’t use that cheese bag plastic for their handles.....
