I bought this case probably six months or so ago, and haven't used it since. I'd bought it in the hopes of using it as an odds and ends storage container for nails, screws, bolts, etc. It works well for the larger items, but the minute you hold it as intended, the smaller pieces fall through the cracks into the other bins, defeating the purpose of the separate bins.

While it's still a usable tote, I found the Plano brand (looks like a lunchbox) to be better suited for what I needed. The difference between the two being Plano's method of carrying the smaller bits. Rather than have the cartons tipped on their side, they're always laying flat. The stanley organizing case works against itself.

I'll probably end up using it for larger items that are still small enough to fit into the separate bins, but be advised that the case is not suited to carrying small nails and parts.

Very good organizer. Overall a fair price for a good product. Wish it was available in metal

i've tried organizers before with little sucess.coffee cans and old coffee cups did the job quite well. I purchased three stanley 014725r 25 organizers and was very pleased. The items actually stay in the bin where you put them.The bins are also removable so you can take different items to point of use,this aviods the enevatable "pick-up a million screw game".
It is so well built and very sturdy that I ordered 6 more for to give to other tradesman so they dont "misplace" mine onto their trucks.

I took my old multi plastic-drawer storage unit to the Good Will. I got so tired of pulling out a dozen small drawers looking for the right type of screw or whatever.

This storage unit is great because it allows me to organize a bunch of small junk in a way that is efficient. I can 'see' each compartment of obscure and various items that I may only use once in a great while. Being able to pull out each individual section is very handy also. These are nice because you can stack them one atop the other to save space on your workbench, and since they are flat, usable space remains on top of the stack.

One concern is that the hinges appear to be the first likely fail point. Kinda cheaply made.

Happy to say that I've purchased about 30 of these storage trays over the last 2 years for helping organize all the bolts, nuts, screws, washers, and other small items in my garage/workshop. These are MUCH BETTER than typical storage trays that adjust by inserting little divider panels (that always come loose or fall out and your stuff gets all mixed up again). Stanley's various box-shaped bins (small, med, large) are great for mixing and matching to conserve space. There are small notches in the bottom of the tray to prevent the bins from sliding around, and the lid fits snugly to keep your junk in place when carrying the tray. Plus each bin lifts out so I can carry only the nuts and bolts I need for the job and leave the entire organizer tray behind. The trays also stack nicely on top of each other with little notches that, again, prevent them from sliding around while stacked. The designers at Stanley did a nice job on these products.
