If you have a menards by you this is a great deal, https://www.menards.com/main/tools/...t-3-piece/81588/p-1642874352553294-c-9189.htm. I was at menards last night and saw this on sale for 11.** so picked one up. Didn't really check it out so wasn't expecting much for 11 bucks but figured it may come in handy. Got it home and was pretty impressed with it. Happened to stop by HF today and saw they are selling what look to be the exact same trays individually for more. I had to stop at menards again so decided to pick up another set just to have around. They aren't magnetic but think they will still come in handy.

They were clearanced at the local Menards last Spring. About the same price. I got the only set on the shelf.

I had bought a set to put in the family white elephant Christmas exchange before then & regretted not getting 1 for me. My nephew ended up with it & said he liked it.

Extremely handy! Set 1 on the radiator shroud or even on a fender, they stay without magnets. I'd probably buy another set if i saw them. The small 1 with the spots for hex drive bits is great to throw fasteners in to take to where you're working.

How do they compare to Snap-On?

No clue, I don't have nor have even looked into the snap on ones. I'm guessing they compare by being a heck of a lot cheaper since they are way cheaper then even the HF ones that look to be the same. Personally I would never pay snap on prices for something like this, just don't see the value. I have some snap on tools that I bought because for those I could see the value, BJP and a few ratchets and bit sockets for example. For 10 dollars I would expect they aren't as great as the snap on ones but they do feel well made. I don't plan on using these for every job but can see them being handy. Things like brake jobs to throw the bolts and parts and tools in as working. Or on the workbench when tearing something down, like rebuilding diesel injectors and replacing their seals. Not sure how they will work for engine work just because of stability when setting the tray on something. And if you knock it off whatever you set it on then the bolts will go flying since they aren't magnetic. So a little hesitant to set one of them in the engine compartment while doing a bigger job but will see how it goes.

They're just a nice set to have around for 10 dollars and I'm sure they will come in handy so was passing on the deal if anyone else could use something like this.

I’ve had a set for a while and I use it everyday at work. Magnet trays are great but trucks today use so much plastic and aluminum there often isn’t place for them to sit. These silicon trays are pliable enough to conform to most surfaces, and they help to keep me organized. Even if I’m working on the ground I’ll use them: one for tools, one for parts, one for fasteners.

Hell I might pick up another set for myself at home and one to gift to my pops. Some of the best $11 I’ve spent.

When I see the prices now on the silicone trays, I sure am glad I procrastinated on buying the originals from the Shark Tank guy.

My set was $34 (not the $10 priced set above) but I'm happy with that. Came with 2 small metal magnetic trays which are always handy.

$9 cordless 3" grinder at Menards

I just picked one up for the wife to use for her plant poles and wire mesh. I tried it out to see if it should go right in the garbage or if it will stick around for a bit. I was actually pretty surprised that it feels halfway decent. Doesn't feel like it's going to break just holding it. I cut a piece of flat stock with it and it did pretty good. Think I might be a little disappointed if I was using it in the shop but for 9 bucks it will do just fine for the wife to use her and there instead of my m12. Thanks for the heads-up.

Ya they went up since I posted this a few weeks ago. Not as much of a great deal but still way cheaper then even HF if you need/want a set.
