Designed as a primary storage solution for hardware and craft supplies, this 18-inch by 13-inch case is built from high-impact polypropylene. The material choice is intended to balance weight with a sturdy frame that handles the bumps and vibrations of a mobile technician's van or a busy home garage. The lid features a compression seal that aligns with the internal dividers, which helps prevent thin items like small screws or flat washers from mixing together during transport.
The structural ribbing on the exterior provides an improved strength-to-weight ratio, helping the case maintain its shape even when loaded with several pounds of hardware.
User feedback suggests the blue pigment used in the base results in a very sturdy shell, though it is opaque, meaning contents are best identified by looking through the top lid. The integrated hinges are designed with "hinge-memory" to withstand being opened and closed frequently. For those using the case in high-vibration areas, ensuring the latches are fully clicked into place will maintain the security of the contents.
Summary: A dependable workhorse for medium-duty storage that excels at keeping varied hardware sizes in their designated places.
For projects requiring a more heavy-duty, interlocking system for professional tools, the DeWalt TSTAK Organizer may be a better fit for your gear.
