Akro-Mils 05705 Plastic Portable Parts Storage Case for Hardware and Crafts with Hinged Lid and 4 Adjustable Dividers, (8-3/8-Inch x 5-Inch x 1-5/8-Inch), Small, Clear

The media could not be loaded. ► Why I like it:I really like these storage cases. Before I bought this one, I spent quite a bit of time searching Amazon for cases and reading all the reviews. It seems that so many of them either break easy or else they let the small items such as beads shift between compartments. I say, what's the point of having a case that does that.This case has a radius on the bottom of the dividers that perfectly matches the radius on the bottom sides of each compartment thereby forming a complete seal. It also has a channel molded into the lid for each and every divider slot so that the top of the dividers goes inside the channel thereby forming a complete seal on the top, too. If you plan to use it for crafting and have small beads, they will not jump over into the next compartment. I did not see that on other cases that I looked at. Good engineering.I bought the medium size. I found that it was a better price and a good working size for me. I am using mine for storing my presser feet for my sewing machine. The compartments are large enough that you can also put your presser feet instructions, notes and descriptions in the same compartment. Actually, you could put several presser feet in the same compartment if you had a large enough collection and wanted to do that.Another thing that his one has over others is that it has a true hinge. So many of the plastic cases and boxes that are available these days do not have true hinges. Instead, they have a plastic continuation that molds the top to the bottom forming a single piece. Eventually that plastic area will fatigue and break on you, leaving you with a useless case that opens up on the opposite end. Money down the drain. If you watch my video, you can see daylight at the hinge since it is a true hinge. Good engineering again.There is also a hanging tab on one end that folds over flat. Since it folds, it will eventually create a weak point and give way – much like what the one piece plastic molded (lid to bottom) pieces do that I explained above. Presumably, though, it will not begin to get nearly as much activity to bring it to its breaking point during normal use. I don't use the hook. It is not flush with the edge of the container so you are going to need something long and protruding to hook it on. Think display hooks in a store type of a hook (which is probably really what it was designed for). The last two photos show the hook both from the side and straight on.I have tried to show you the snap clasps, hinges, and the dividers and how they seat in the attached photos. Hopefully you can make sense of the pictures.► Dimensions:With hanging tab folded down: 11” x 6 13/16” (exclusive of hinge) x 2 3/8” including feetDepth with hinge 7 1/8”Compartments: 2 1/8” x 1 7/8” x 2 1/16” deep► Pros:True hinge, not just continuation of molding which tends to break. Dividers fully seat top and bottom to hold even the smallest of beads in their own compartment when shaken. Good value for money.► Cons:None.► Suggestions for Improvement:Offer these in different colors as colors help us organize better.► Would I buy again?Yes.► Purchasing Decision & Questions:I hope I have helped your purchasing decision of this 15 Compartment Medium Storage Case.

Good product. Strong, useable

The description implies that the compartments are completely customizable, which is only partly true. The vertical dividers can be moved and cut to make them custom, but the horizontal ones are fixed in place by the box so they can't be removed.That little oversight put a small dent in my plan to consolidate a board game into the box, but it still is high-quality plastic and does everything it says. Great for small pieces and crafts.

We've bought a few of these now, and I really do think they're fabulous. We originally bought one to organize and store my older daughter's Rainbow Loom bands, and as she started acquiring more bands, beads, and whatnot to go with it all, we decided we ought to get another. Plus, as we've been organizing the Legos in the house, I thought these would be useful to sort and store the littler Lego pieces. They've worked really well for both uses. They're sturdy, and the lid pops off without breaking the box if you want to temporarily remove it and set it aside. Which is also nice, given that it means it doesn't break when used by children a lot. The removable dividers are great for adjusting the size of the compartments (though the long ones that go from side to side don't come out - they're a fixed part of the box, if that makes a difference for you) have been great for creating spaces to organize and store things. We've made larger ones for beads, smaller ones for bands and connectors, and varying ones for Legos depending on how many we had of certain kinds of pieces. And the lid has grooves for where the dividers go in the bottom part of the case, helping seal each compartment off from each other when it's closed. (No, I don't think it's a watertight seal, so I doubt it'd work for liquids, but it works great on Rainbow Loom bands so clearly it works with relatively small objects.) And they stack nicely on top of each other, so everything gets tucked away nicely when people are done with things. And just having all these little things organized makes it easier for people wanting to use them, too.I really can't say enough good things about these, and they've been holding up well for several months now. I'd highly recommend these if you have a need to store and organize small objects in your house, whether for your kids or yourself.

Handy little organizer. Solidly built and good size for what we needed.

Made a great case for storing bits and burrs for the Dremel. The bits don't migrate from one bin to the next like other cases. I could see it storing things like electrical connectors, beads, screws, etc. Seems fairly durable but the biggest complaint I have is the mechanism for keeping it closed does not function well. You can imagine what happens when it comes open unexpectedly. If that worked well I would give it 5 stars.

Sturdy and well made, this case has a lot of compartments. I store guitar picks and banjo fingerpicks and it is perfect.

This is working well to keep small lego pieces organized. It opens easy and is clear which allows you to see what’s in it. The labels are a bit hard to take off but overall for the price it’s a nice storage box.
