Tiny and flimsy. Pictures are deceiving. But for a dollar, it might be worth to keep one in the car with a few emergency tools.
No, thats a use case where you want a more durable box.
These are better suited for home use, storing craft supplies, paint brushes, office supplies, etc.
As others said, good for small craft items etc. They don't hold much weight and have flimsy hinges which makes them bad for tools IMO. Decent enough value for a buck plus, but check the dimensions so you know what your getting.
And you get your money's worth for 5 quarters. I owned 8 of these, and 3 of them broke on a single drop to the car from the dollartree. I did end up using them as a cover box for A/C power strips for christmas inflatables by using a soldering a hole into the side. It stopped the rain for pouring on them directly, but it was far from waterproof.
Gotta ask, how strong is the adhesive on the stickers on these? I bought a Harbor Freight mini ammo box and and the adhesive on there was incredibly hard to remove (I wanted to do some labelling with the product stickers off and it just wasn't worth the time and effort so I returned several).
It has been around for ages, long before dollar tree hiked prices to $1.25. Why is this in SD now?
Was just sharing because it's cheap storage and I happened to pick up a few at The Dollar Tree the other day when they restocked. I like what some people did in the reviews. They gave them out as gifts to customers. Not a bad idea, especially if you slap your own logo on them.
