5.0 out of 5 stars Good cheapo box for organizing electronics.
Reviewed in the United States on October 9, 2023
As someone who dabbles in radios, I have a lot of extra antennas, chargers, cables, adapters, and other radio equipment. On a gentle suggestion of my wife, I realized that I needed a box to hold my stuff, lest she collect it all and relocate it to the sidewalk.

This isn't a heavy duty toolbox, first of all. I would not recommend putting 20-30 lbs of tools in here, or hurling it around in the back of a truck. However, it is sturdy enough to hold lighter electronics. The overall size is fine for antennas, even my longer 18 inch ones.

The two panels on the top are great for things you would need on the fly - such as smaller adapters or radio programming cables.

The latch closes securely. The holes to put a padlock on the box are, in my opinion, kind of silly. Only a very small lock would fit in there, and to be honest, even with a sturdy padlock, you could probably stomp on this box to split it open.

But hey, for the price, it's exactly what I needed: An inexpensive organizer for electronic equipment.

My old tool organizer broke. Many choices on Amazon, but I wanted the same size like the old one, not too big or heavy, just enough to carry it around holding essential tools, nails, screws, etc. I am happy with it in general. I like the design and the size, but it would be better if the top can be open all the way to the back so it doesn’t close on my hand without constantly holding the top to keep it open. The plastic material doesn’t seem very sturdy, which is not a big problem for me since I don’t use it too often.

I bought this Craftsman toolbox to organize the tools I need more often. It is lockable and has a removable tray and small parts storage on the top. It is quality built and a convenient size. I definitely recommend this toolbox.

4.0 out of 5 stars Good little tool box
Reviewed in the United States on January 26, 2024
My daughter and son-in-law bought me a dremel for Christmas, so I ordered this little tool box to keep it in along with it's accessories. It's the perfect size for this tool, and works great. My only complaint about this tool box is the lid doesn't open quite far enough to stay open. With most tool boxes, the lid will lay all the way open so you can access tools easily while working. This one opens at a 90 degree angle, and then closes again if you let go of it. Mildly annoying, but you can pull out the tray, so you can at least set the tray on the top of the tool box, or on your work area for easy access. The lid issue is bothersome enough that I dropped a star off of the rating. It seems good and sturdy, and I'm sure it would be easy to lock if you needed to. I have no need to lock it. I like the little compartments on the top of the box, but I haven't decided what to use them for yet. They may be big enough for some of my more frequently used dremel accessories, so that might be a solution to the closing lid problem.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice size. Seems sturdy.
Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2024
While I did read the full description.
I am still pleasantly surprised by the overall size. Looks and feels solid.
The latches seem strong as well. Am expecting years of "medium" duty service out of it.
I can see a second one possibly in my future.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Price For a Nice Roomy Toolbox for Computer Tools!
Reviewed in the United States on September 26, 2024
Nice and roomy. I store my Klein electrical screwdriver set, Thermal Compound, ZIP ties, Velcro tie straps, extra screws for SSD mounting and screws for NVMe drive mounting.
Masking tape, side cutter pliers, insulated tweezers, diluted DeOxit liquid for enhancing electrical contact faces, etc.

I am very pleased with my purchase!

3.0 out of 5 stars Not the best quality
Reviewed in the United States on September 2, 2024
You get what you pay for. It is a little clunky on the latching end. I bought it to keep in my car, so I don't have to open and close it a lot. I light that it is light weight.

5.0 out of 5 stars Good Tool Box
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2024
This is a good and strong plastic tool box. No it does not have the feel of the metal Craftsman tool boxes but it does its job very well. The good thing about this tool box is that it is very light. When you put your tools in it, the only weight is that of your tools, not the tool box.
