Wednesday a delegation of the finest Toool members visited the Safety & Security 2007<\/a> exhibition in Amsterdam. Besides the usual lock manufacturers there was not a lot of news.<\/p>\n

One thing did caught my eye … secure suitcases and briefcases.<\/p>\n

\"portable<\/p>\n

As you might know I am a big fan of clever inventions and good design work. And this range of cases seemed to have both.<\/p>\n

I spoke with the inventor, Mr. Graham Sharp<\/a>, for a long time. He told me a lot about the cases and got me really enthusiastic about them.<\/p>\n

The design is clever. Lightweight trough use of a special aluminum alloy, and a 6 millimeter thick steel cable<\/a> that keeps the case in place in your hotel room or car trunk.<\/p>\n

Also clever is the use of the extremely hard to bypass ASSA desmo lock, witch key can only be removed when it is in the locked position.<\/p>\n

The briefcase model <\/a>is secured against prying it open with a screwdriver by using a high latch that falls into a deep groove<\/a> at the sides of the case. Maybe not to clear to see on these images, but very well designed.<\/p>\n

These products are certainly high on my wish list for carrying my laptop around or when traveling abroad. Too bad I was not around on the last day of the fair to try buy the demo models (for a special price of course) ….<\/p>\n

But then again, they were pretty lightweight so I do not think Mr Sharp had a hard time carrying them back to the UK ….<\/p>\n

\"secure<\/p>\n
