This 6.5 quart HDX tote is a compact, stackable bin that works best for small parts and other tightly grouped items. It fits everything from electrical and plumbing hardware to cables, drill bits, medicine cabinet items, makeup, and craft supplies, and the clear version makes contents easy to see from the sides. The plastic is described as thicker and stronger than cheaper Sterilite bins, but the small size, space inefficient shape, and lids that can crack or buckle under weight are the main drawbacks. It is a handy little organizer if the capacity is enough.

Common Questions (5)

  • It works well for small parts and organized odds-and-ends like electrical fittings, plumbing pieces, makeup, shower steamers, shampoo bars, cables, drill bits, and zip ties. The clear version lets you see contents from the sides without labels.

  • The plastic is noticeably thicker and stronger than many Sterilite bins, and the shape stacks better for hardware and small parts. The lid can buckle under weight and some lids crack easily, so it is better for light-to-medium storage than heavy loads.

  • It is small enough that some shoppers consider it for chest-freezer organization, but the plastic is not confirmed as food-grade. A freezer-bag liner inside the tote is one workaround for food-related use.

  • It measures about 6.20 inches high, 12.90 inches wide, and 8.10 inches deep. The footprint is compact, so it fits small-item storage better than bulky pantry or freezer loads.

  • It can off-gas for weeks after purchase, with the smell becoming noticeable again when the bin is reopened after being sealed. The odor is minimal when closed, but it may be a problem if you want to store sensitive items right away.

Ants don't build houses, but they do have farms made of plastic.

Would this be good for 7 cu ft chest freezer organizing? Or using baskets better?

Why would these be better than the (also stackable) sterilite 6 qt bins which are $2 any day of the week?
Seems like these are unnecessarily bulky and 25% more expensive for virtually no extra capacity...

Our community has rated this post as helpful. If you agree, why not thank

I stocked up on the clears last time and they're a bit small yeah but you can stack em pretty high before they begin to wobble-they're also much thicker plastic than like the cheapo sterilites. I quite like them.

You're bang on aside from the lid/bottom being better for stacking. I have a ton of both and prefer these for hardware and the others for not-as-hardware. They're also taller and not as wide, which i was not keen on when I first got them.

The sterilites go on sale for like less than a dollar with a lid at target like once a quarter though so if you play the scaling game the choice is easy on the price, but you can't stack the sterilites more than 3 high before one of them has a mishap. The lids are of poor quality, but will work with the right imagineering, but buckle pretty quickly under weight.. the sterilites are also easier to write on. Big visible flat spots.
The sterilites are frankly flimsy. This doesn't really matter for most things that would fit in a 6.5 qt container. Fill it with screws or bolts though.The yellow tops handle the bolts much better than the sterilites, but who's sticking bolts and screws into 6.5qt bins?

me that's who. got a label maker and everything.

can get plastic shoe boxes for about $1 each when you get 10 pack at walmart.
These are small enough where I doubt stacking weight will be an issue.

These are great for small parts organization. I put electrical in one (breakers, outlet covers, etc), plumbing (sharkbites, brass fittings, etc), things like that. I got clear so I can see what's inside without labels, and they are just the right size that you can see everything inside from the sides of the bin.
I get that but the shape makes them very space inefficient. They're not something you can tightly stack....

The sterilite are thinner/weaker.

So they have their place if you're ok with a lighter duty container.

Please post here next time the sterilites are on sale for a dollar... I never see them on sale anywhere. Walmart has them for cheaper but the Walmart version does not stack as well and has a crappier lid than the ones pictured which I think they also sell at Target as you mentioned.
Only place I used to get these good stackable sterilites on sale was at Big lots when they had a coupon that applied but know all the Big lots around here have closed
