I am looking for a specific style of parts storage box.
There should be 5-8 separate compartments, large enough to hold a pound of screws or nails each.
The compartments should seal up well so there is no spill over from one area to another as the box is tilted, especially for small parts.
It must be well made with strong hinges and latches.
It must have a handle on the TOP and be sized so that it could fit inside standard drawers, or sit nicely on a shelf or workbench.
It should be stackable if needed.
The closest I have seen so far is this one sold by Harbor Freight:
I haven't had the chance to see one in person yet, but from what I've read the hinges and latches are rather weak and prone to breakage. Having one break open and spill it's contents is not an option when I'm working away from home. I'm also not crazy about the removable dividers, though I could always glue those in place if that was the deciding factor.
I currently own several Stanley parts organizers like these:
Unfortunately, since the handle is on the edge, when you pick one up the container goes sideways and small parts tend to work their way under the lid to adjoining compartments. Especially with small finish nails, thin washers, or small electrical connectors.
I also have a couple Dewalt storage boxes like these:
They have much better hinges and latches, and small parts stay in their individual compartments. Unlike the Stanleys, I can fit a full pound of screws in a single compartment. Unfortunately they're very expensive and have the same side handle style like the Stanley's.
The wide and flat designs do not fit nicely in drawers. I store mine on edge so I can access one container without unstacking other containers.
I also can't store fragile items in that style as the contents are constantly agitated laying the container flat to open it, then leaning upright to carry it.
Does anyone know of a container like the Harbor Freight style that has stronger hinges and latches?
