The Harbor Freight one is 6" tall, and the top shelf and upper drawer are very shallow. This one is 8" tall and the top shelf and drawer look deeper. Just something to think about, depending on what you want to store in it.
This mini metal toolbox is best as a cute, compact organizer for small, valuable items like jewelry, watches, makeup, drill bits, office supplies, and tiny shop parts. The deeper top storage and drawers make it more practical than shallower mini chests, and it fits niche uses like 3D printer maintenance, machinist tools, or a desk and nightstand setup. The main drawback is capacity, since the small storage space can feel limited for the weight and there is no handle. Similar Harbor Freight, Lowe's, Menards, and Husky options were also cited as cheaper or better finished alternatives.
people organizing small EDC and desk/workshop items because commenters say these mini boxes work well for holding a bunch of lesser-used tools and for things like drill bits and office supplies.
jewelry, watch, and makeup organizers because the community notes these are made for small items like jewelry, knives, watches, and makeup (not just general tools).
3D printing hobbyists who need a place for tiny printer maintenance parts because commenters say the 3D printing community likes similar boxes for small parts/tools used for printer maintenance.
machinists storing very small, expensive tools because one commenter specifically calls these out as good for machinists since many tools are very small and extremely expensive.
buyers who want deeper drawer/top storage than the smallest mini chests because this one is described as 8" tall with deeper top shelf/upper drawer compared with a Harbor Freight model that's 6" tall with very shallow storage.
people expecting easy full-drawer access because a commenter worries the drawers may only open about ~5" of an 8+" depth, leaving about a third of the drawer covered by the cabinet and making access annoying.
people who want the smoothest drawer experience and sturdier hardware because one commenter says they'd pass on the Lowe's option and prefers the Harbor Freight version for smoother ball bearings, anti-slip drawer mats, thicker metal, and magnetic pull-shut.
buyers who want a more premium mini toolbox experience similar to Snap-On/MAC because commenters say those brands' small boxes are typically expensive when you can find them.
A Harbor Freight alternative can offer smoother ball bearings, anti-slip drawer mats, thicker metal, and magnetic pull-shut, making the Walmart option less appealing by comparison.
The WORKPRO is 8 inches tall with a deeper top shelf and upper drawer, while the Harbor Freight version is 6 inches tall with shallower storage. Harbor Freight models are also described as having smoother ball-bearing drawers, anti-slip mats, thicker metal, and magnetic pull-shut, with some colors priced at $14.99 in-store.
It can hold jewelry, knives, watches, makeup, drill bits, office supplies, and other small items. It also works well for small parts and tools used in 3D printer maintenance or for lesser-used tools on a bench.
It is a novelty-sized box, but it can still be functional for small, valuable items and compact tool storage. The main limitation is capacity: it looks cute, but it may feel useless if you need to store many tools relative to its size and weight.
I saw a similar art home depot, don't understand the concept.... for the small amount of tools it can store versus star it weighs, makes it useless, albeit cute?

These are made for your jewelry, knives, watches, make up, drill bits, office supplies, etc., Harbor Freight has a nicer model in better colors.

Yes its a novelty piece, but it can still be functional.
The 3D printing community likes them for all the small parts/tools for printer maintenance.

With the absence of specs, I would be worried that the drawers only open about 5" of the 8+" depth. This makes about at third of the drawer covered by the cabinet itself, which can be really annoying. This is the way the OG HF cabinets work (which are only $15).
HF's new cabinets extend a bit further, which makes it much easier to access things stored in the drawers. The new style are currently $19.
While comparing these mini-chests, it's interesting that HF's chest is rated at 5lbs per drawer, and this one is 8.5lbs. The weight between the two options is very similar.

Hard pass on Lowes compared to the Harbor. Harbor has smooth ez glide ball bearings & anti-slip mats for each drawer. Also, metal is thicker & has magnetic pull shut. Harbor 4the win!!

Personally I have one of the harbor freight versions sitting on my leathercraft bench. It's pretty great for holding a bunch of my lesser used tools.
i want the functionality of this but in something cuter. It seems the natural cute alternative is craft organizers? But they don't seem as functional. drawers are always clunky plastic and don't seem as well-built. Maybe a desk organizer is the middleground?

Most are little versions of a full roll around and they are quite expensive if you can find one.
