I purchased the basic Safe Jack kit in the metal can which I think looks cool, years ago. I decided to purchase the tote bag for a specific reason. Now that I have decided to install the Cali Raised molle panels in my 4Runner for more storage and the ability to keep the back end clear of any clutter, I feel that my safe jack in the tote bag would sit better on the molle middle shelf than the metal can which could pose a safety issue in an accident or just having to slam the brakes suddenly even without it strapped down securely. The tote bag has four rubber end caps at the bottom which I feel gives it better traction with the weight of the jack and accessories. Bottom line, I think I made the right choice in purchasing the bag. As they say, function over form.
