Tool Box Tools

Review by Harry Heightman : Perfect for my needs

I do computer service and support and need to carry a lot of small tools and parts. I added a tool palate to the inside of the cover. This lets me see most of my tools at a glance (easy to locate and to inventory) and the compartments let me carry the assortment of small parts that I need. I rejected a lot of tool boxes before finding this one. Cost wasn't a major consideration. I needed the right box and this is it for me. The fact that it is not expensive is a bonus.

Review by RC Flyer : Stow-N-Go for RC Flyers

I bought this tool box for carrying all those essential things (parts & tools) for Radio Control Model Flying. The top compartment just under the lid will accommodate most of the larger tools one would need; I placed a small cardboard box in this area to segregate some of the smaller tools from larger ones. The drawers are similar to common plastic containers with a flip top only these actually have locks on the fronts. The top drawer has three compartments that span the width of the drawer which I store small plastic boxes with small parts and a bunch of tie wraps that span the width of the drawer; I'm not sure if there are any dividers for this drawer, none were supplied. The bottom drawer has no partitions, which I wish it did, which would eliminate the need to find small boxes to put parts in; having another drawer like the top one would have served me better. I've swapped emails with Plano on dividers for this drawer but there are none. An alsternative would be to buy one of their other boxes and swap out the one that came with the tool box. Overall, it's a good size, I just wish there were more options on the drawers.

Review by Lester Greenwood V "V" : Overall decent.

I have had a Plano 652-009 Grab-N-Go 20-Inch Tool Box with Tray which was made of very good plastic and seemed very sturdy. Which had lead me to buy this one. I was a little dissapointed with the plastic used to make this toolbox, it just didn't seem as sturdy. There is a good amount of room in each slot. The top is enough to store your bigger tools. The 2 bottom box's are alright, One is divided in 3 columns and the other is all one box. I bought this cause I thought it would be better for electronic components.So over all it's a lot of room, just not very good plastic and i wish the other box was made with little dividers to fit wires, capacitors, resistors ect.

Review by Wankenstein : Nice design, cheap and flimsy closure

Too bad, really, that the closure (and lid) is so flimsy (wobbly) and cheap. I have significant fears of the thing opening while I'm carrying it. I really like the design and dimensions, it holds a lot of stuff, and the divided pull out organizers are high quality. One bad design decision kinda ruined this for me. Make a sturdier lid and latch and it's a 5 star device. C'mon Plano!

Review by Branden : Great Photography Toolbox

Over the years I've been a photography enthusiast, I've accumulated a lot of small accessories -- batteries, memory cards, flashes, filters, cleaning rags, lens caps, camera straps, lighting brackets, air rockets, remote triggers, gels, chargers, snoots -- the list is endless. Before this toolbox, I never could find a good way of storing all these items. They'd end up in various camera bags -- but no single camera bag was big enough to hold everything -- or in boxes left home, which isn't very useful when going out to take photos. This toolbox is a great solution for this problem. All the doodads and knickknacks now have an organized, sorted, and convenient place where they're stored when not in a camera bag. And if the need arises, I can grab the entire toolbox and bring everything with me easily. I've been using this for two full months now, and this is the first time in years my camera stuff has been organized. Now I just need to sell all those dang useless camera bags.

Review by Pc Pete "PC Pete" : It's exactly what it says.

If you went out and bought the storage bins separately, you'd pay way more than the cost of this neat little tool box. I bought one of these, and after it arrived, I immediately ordered two more. It really helped me organize my small electronic parts - resistors, capacitors, transistors, connectors, etc. It's too flimsy for storing car parts or hand tools, but probably good for things like sewing or arts and crafts.

Review by C. Weaver : Just What The Doctor Ordered!

I needed a new tool case and this one fit the bill. The three trays work out great as tool storage and the top drawer, by using the dividers, allows you to set it up for a large number of screws, nuts, etc. The top area works out well for placing tools or, in my case, my cleaners and such. Overall a really handy tools storage case!

Review by Charles Hall : Special feature is very deep drawers

This unit has several attractive features. First, it is all plastic. Many similar tool boxes with this kind of storage are metal. Second, it's storage spaces are unusually deep. The top tray can accommodate items up to 5" tall, such as a DLSR camera. The two lower boxes can handle items up to 2.5" tall and 13.5" long. One box is open inside, with an area of 13.5" x 7.75". The other is broken into three longitudinal sections by plastic dividers. Each of the sections is 2.5" wide. These plastic dividers are fixed in place. Neither box has any adjustable dividers (which seems odd). With it's deep drawers, I can store telescope eyepieces in their original boxes (which are 2.5" tall). I also like having a top lid that opens to reveal a cavity large enough for both a camera, small tripod, and accessory cables. I looked pretty hard around my area and nobody stocked this model box. Dick's Sporting Goods had some Plano boxes, but all were smaller... like for fishing tackle.

Review by T. Risenmay "rizen9" : prefect for organizing

I received this as a gift to use to store my quilting supplies. It is perfect. It gives me three compartments to store the various supplies.

Review by andy : StowAway Utility Boxes

I was hoping to use this box for micro irrigation parts but the StowAway utility boxes do not have the adjustable dividers. One box has 2 dividers going long ways, which creates 3 long compartments. The other box only has 2 small lips, creating 3 long spaces that could hold round items without rolling?
