Yeah, I know- a pretty small gripe.If they had a way to rate it 4.5 stars, I would have given that rating. I have three of these and load them with screws and bolts and other small metal and plastic pieces. What's the use to have a divider that doesn't keep parts where you put them. Another nice feature is that you can individually remove one of the compartments and close the lid and set the rest of the parts aside. You can find many storage organizers that are much less expensive. The top of my organizer STILL has adhesive residue and bits of the label stuck to it. This is not an easy environment.
Heat, cold, and vibration are all a factor.These organizers stand up to the test. They just don't have the strength to withstand daily use and eventually, the dividers break. Make SURE you have "heard the click" when you snap the clips shut. I don't know what to use to dissolve the adhesive that will not damage the plastic top. This is especially useful when you are needing multiples of one particular item and don't want to dig them out of a non-removable compartment and set them loose someplace just waiting to get scattered around.The only reason I didn't give this a rating of five stars is how easy it is to THINK the lid is locked, and that the labels are very difficult to remove. As the title of my review indicates, these ARE pricey.
These travel in my van every day. They close securely- PROVIDING YOU ARE CERTAIN YOU HAVE LOCKED THE TABS. However, I doubt you'll find many that are made more solidly or will last as long, or work as well. Most of the lighter duty organizers only have plastic dividers that slide in and out of light weight clips. If you are looking for a heavy-duty organizer that will last, this is the one.I have used several types of lighter-weight organizers that just didn't last. Don't just close the lid and pick it up.
I especially like the feature of the removable compartments. Once the lid is secure, each heavy-duty removable container stays securely in place.
Solidly built, and does the job of organizing. Stanley essentially ships a good product, but inherently damaged. However, the stick-on product label in front is too big, and after a lot of work trying to wash it off with special chemicals, there is still residue that partially obscures the box contents.
The individual containers inside make it easy to just remove a single container and spill the contents out to find what is inside. With the carrying handle the organizer comes with you easily and it can be either stacked or stored upright like a book. I am very happy to have found it and will certainly buy more when the need arises. I had been looking for this particular organizer for some time as I owned a set and wanted to buy more. Easy to see what is inside the box without opening it.
It is an excellent design and perfect for a wide variety of uses. This is great if you are mixing sizes of screws or other mixed items. When done it is a simple matter to put them back. The lid has ridges that help to keep the parts from "wandering" into another container cup.
I have a different system (metal drawers) for holding hardware (nuts and bolts) because a full drawer can easily weigh 50 pounds. However, the quality seems to be pretty good. I can remove an inner bin to work on the other side of the shop, and just as easily take the entire thing home if I need to work on something there.It's plastic, so it'll get scratched and broken at some time. These are great, as long as you are realistic in what they can hold. I wouldn't put that in a plastic box.The box is light, and the bins inside the box stay in place. I'm sure I'll buy more at some point. I use it to keep electronic parts/projects organized and dust free.
I have both the 25 compartment one and the deeper one with 14 or so compartments. It feels good to make good purchases. I am very pleased with he utility and usefulness of these. I will buy more and feel smart every time I open them.
