The DWST17805 serves as a reliable foundation for organizing small hardware within a workshop or for light field use. Built with high-impact polypropylene and a polycarbonate lid, the materials are selected for their ability to handle typical household or garage environments. Tests indicate that the lid design creates a mechanical lock against the internal bins, which helps keep small parts like washers from moving between sections when the case is carried or moved.
Build Quality and Functionality
Specifications show that the unit features metal wire-form latches, which are designed to provide consistent closing force over a longer period compared to plastic alternatives. The interior is modular, containing two large and five small bins that can be fully removed. This allows for a flexible setup where you can take only the specific hardware needed to a workbench or project area. Measurements and weight capacities suggest it is best suited for fasteners and small tools rather than heavy bulk items.
While the construction is sturdy, it is important to ensure the bins are seated perfectly flush. Data shows that even a tiny bit of debris in the base can cause the lid to bow slightly, which may affect the seal between compartments. Additionally, while the chassis is durable, the plastic hinge pins are best handled with care to prevent them from shifting out of place over time. This unit is designed for organized storage and is not rated as weather-proof, so it is most effective when used in dry environments.
Summary: A high-utility organizer for those who need to move small parts around a workspace frequently while keeping them strictly separated.
