Review on πŸ“¦ Akro-Mils 05805 Plastic Storage Case with Hinged Lid and Adjustable Dividers - Ideal for Hardware, Crafts, and More! (Medium, 11-Inch x 7-Inch x 2-3/8-Inch) by Sonny Nevers

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Pretty good, but the front latch is a hinged piece of plastic

The good news is that the contents of each compartment don't squirt out when you turn the box over. Another piece of good news is that it actually has a loop on the back, not a flimsy piece of polypropylene. The bad news is that the front latch is a thin piece of hinged polypropylene and I don't know how many cycles it will take before that piece breaks off. In this case, the box becomes unusable. Acro does some really good stuff, so maybe they thought about it. I usually buy Plano boxes because they have an active double locking front latch and real hinge. The problem with plano boxes is that they can sometimes spill the contents of the compartment since they don't have dividers along the lid like this one. Another box to look out for are the yellow Stanley boxes with solid yellow plastic shells. Stanley boxes are also very good.

Pros
  • Decent performance
Cons
  • I won't say anything
