Decent compartment boxes?

[fury9]

Anybody have these? Looking for a few compartment boxes other than the plastic ones that can't take any kind of abuse. Mainly will be for screws and some tools to carry around to different jobs.

Can you recommend any other metal compartment boxes? Need to be USA

I've got a bunch of those styles Durham manufacturing boxes and I like them a lot. (mine aren't adjustable inside, tho I wish they were.)
I've also heard good things about the Milwaukee plastic ones at HD but I don't have any first hand experience.

I did check out the Durham boxes and they seem to be a great deal considering the plastic ones are almost the same cost and in some cases more. I can't seem to find any COO on the Fastenal ones, I think I did see the Durham ones are USA?

I have a few durham boxes and like them very much. The one with my small sae stuff is tight enough that #6 washers haven't sliped between compartments, although I don't exactly turn it upside down and shake it hard.

FWIW we have tons of the Fastenal's at work and they are loaded down with everything from nuts, bolts, screws, toggles, copper fittings, fuses, drill bits, and everything in between. I work in maintenance department at hospital. We have the whole setup where they are stacked up and slide out like drawers. They are really good quality. A few may have even ended up at home with me...

I would shoot them an email and ask coo. Look at this box. It says under product details - Compliance - USA

The steel boxes don't have that logo.

I used to have a bunch of those until I got my Equipto boxes, They are like lista.

I have a bunch of the Grainger boxes just like that. I'm considering building an enclosure of some type and installing drawer slides on the sides. Right now I just have them stacked on my bench. I really like the adjustable compartments. I wasn't too sure I would but it makes them very easy to customize.

We use these at work to store/organize screws....Have separate plastic bins inside. Think some HD carry them too. Have a couple of the larger sizes also.

I was under the impression that the Grainger (red), Fastenal (blue) and Klein (gray) steel compartment boxes all came from Durham.

I just looked at work this morning we have Bowman and Jeska

Jeska products. Not sure if they make the boxes or not.

Didn't know about the color thing, thanks.

I have a 6 pack of the grey with the rack for some of my stainless fasteners. I love the trays. High quality. The rack tho... I cheaped out and it doesn't actually slide easily. Wish I went for the higher end rack.

I have a bunch of the Durham bins of the same size as you posted. I haven't used the ones with adjustable compartments but they are very nice. Mine are used to organize my woods crews (framing, cabinet, smaller lags, stainless, pocket hole, etc) and impact and screwdriver bits. I have them in one of the drawer units that I mounted on the wall of my shop. The bin with the bits sits on top until I add another drawer unit.

I got mine from Fastenal, and with exception of the drawer unit, all of my drawers were USA in origin. I don't believe the small bins had a Fastenal logo on them but the rack has several.

At the moment I have one of the larger Durham boxes. Its only a matter of time before I pick up some more! I'd also like to get a rack at some point. I'll keep your feedback on that item in mind.

The boxes I mentioned in my previous post also have matching racks and stands; the Klein stuff looks like its the same Durham gray with different labeling. Here are some examples:

Grainger:

Fastenal:

Klein:
