The hardware is of the highest quality but the containers are the best I've ever used

I ordered these metric rivet and hex bolt sets and am very happy with the quality. But the real gem is the storage box they come in, it's the best I've ever used. The locks keep the box very secure (unlike many that open at the worst possible moment), but I still manage to open it with one hand (wow!). Once opened, the lid pivots freely to the fully open position via non-locking hinges and rests on the work surface in the open position. the back is closed when not held open. Shutters are often uncomfortable to open and close. They are difficult, if not impossible, to operate with one hand and sometimes spill the contents when trying to pry the lid back far enough to get to the contents. Also, they often don't lock tightly, so popping them open in a tool bag is a huge mess and a waste of time. Unlike these drawers from Homvale, they have three latches in a contrasting color so that they are clearly visible. The mechanism of their opening is comfortable and easily accessible (for me even with gloves). Once open, they stay out of the way so access to the lid is unhindered. When closed, they secure the lid on three sides, so the box can be safely dropped into a tool bag without fear of the lid cracking or the box deforming enough to mess up the compartments' contents. A real pleasure to use that I like to remember every time I touch it. A bit more expensive than other kits with a comparable amount of hardware, but worth every penny for me. Really five stars!
