Dan Decosmo saw a need and filled it. If you carry around a lot of small parts, and you get tired of using those cylinders that after market front ends, and other items come in, these may be just the ticket for you.

The unit comes with seven 4-chamber sections, for a total of 28 compartments. The dimensions are given below, but the quarter may give you a better perspective, for those mathematically challenged.

They all reside neatly, and firmly, in a nice little tray, and there is a finger hole under each division, making it easy to push it out. The workmanship is very good, so that everything fits well, and aligned.

Those who like to pack a lot of small spare parts in your tool box when you travel to a venue away from home, these pack very nicely. The plastic is easily marked with a felt pen, to identify the items.

If we could recommend any changes, it would be that to add some versatility, make two or three of the section's compartments double long. Also, you guys who measured size #11 rings may find it tough to scoop some items out of the bins without a tool, like tweezers. Lastly, if you intend to felt pen to identify, either have another color than black in mind, or stick with the white boxes.

Bottom line, for $5, these are very useful and reasonably priced, and a great addition for keeping everything tidy and at your fingertips.

Each container is 1”Wx3/4”Lx5/8”D with a positive latching cover. There are 4 containers per row. Each row securely locks into a tray giving you a total of 28 compartments. Over all size of the tray and containers is 4.5”x7”.

Available in 3 colors (Blue, Green, White), mix and match so you can color code your parts according to manufacturer.
Will fit perfectly into any pit box!

Price $5.00 + S&H
