It looks similar to the Plano tackle box just 30% cheaper and different color. I wonder if it fits the plano cases. If that price includes shipping it's a good deal, the plano box is around 30 bucks.

I didn't post originally because HF's website is useless IMO. I guess I got it on sale because now it's $15.

This is what I use for small shims and parts. It is about 6x4 1/4x 1 1/2. Works great and all 24 boxes have a lid and removable cap. $5 at Walmart.

Those look like tic-tac containers.

Was about to say that. It's a very smart way to organize small parts as well.

I never thought of it but they are about the exact size.

On edge the box fits perfect inside of the small drawers of a hauler bag.

It's a good way to organize tools.

I think I saw something similar to this at IKEA. Its kinda magnetic bar that can be mounted on the wall. Its used to magnetically stick knives and cooking utensils in the kitchen.

When I drive my RC cars outdoors I usually take all my tools with me so for me, unless that's just for my workbench I keep all my tools in the one tool box.

Btw, I was shopping the other day at HomeDepot for the cable ducts to make my curbs. While at the store, I checked out the Plano parts organizer boxes you guys mentioned and noticed they are real nice. Heavy duty plastic hinges, 2 clamp locks, etc. I should've gotten those instead of the crafty Darice or whatever junk parts box for string spools or something which costed more than the Plano boxes!

(We need a facepalm emoticon!)
