Agree.
I got two of eachblackblueand red when they came out and were $10 each.
They're supposed to release a new color soon.
This is exactly what I use a couple of mine for too.

Oh i wonder what the new color will be? My wife wants one now for here knives.
I picked up a Black one on the ITC member early Black Friday Sale with other stuff on sale.
I keep gunsmithing punches in my top drawer. I do want an Orange onehopefully they will make them in that color sometime.

I tried getting one on sale. Always unavailable. Our closest one only let's you buy one per visit due to demandand usually sold out anyway.
I only grabbed this because of those. I found it at a thrifty shopper for $3. I figure I can 3d print some trays for organization inside. I'm thinking CNC router bit'sscroll saw blades. and maybe gauges on top.
It is screaming for a piece of leather riveted to the top for a handle!

Rumor has it that it could be purpleorangegreenor yellow.
Basically the same color as the big boxes.

That's pretty cool! I think my boys would appreciate that!
Had to go pick me one up today. I hate going there. I went in for a $20 purchase that wound up costing me almost $100. Darned if a die grindersome sockets and a few other things didn’t just jump into my cart.:18:

Dang those are pretty sweet! Make a good four wheeler toolbox.
I'd like a couple of those little tool boxes... one for leather tools one for pocket knives.
The nearby stores haven't had them in stock.

I need a version with no top openingjust a third drawer instead. It'd fit nicely on some existing shelving I've got -- enough so I'd probably end up with several of them organizing small hobby stuff.
I'd just build some drawersbut even "cheap" drawer slides are getting stupidly expensive.

These guys were my "secret go-to" for cabinet hardware... I just grabbed a link to a random drawer guide web page.

I quick tip I learned from youtube. Make your drawer slide slot in the cabinetstart 1/2" in from the front and go all the way through the back. Add dowel pins to your drawer sides. Slide the drawer in from the back and install the rear panel. The drawer can't pull out and can be easily removed by pulling the back panel off. One dowel behind center and one at the rear of the drawer. Let the front of the drawer rest on the front panel when sliding. maybe add a piece of plastic there.
Here are the 3D print sites and files if anyone wants to print their own organization trays. gridfinity is an organization system that is universal. all components are designed to lock into the grid.
These are the grid plates that fit the top decktop drawerand bottom drawer. Once you have this you can print any of the gridfinifty options to fit.

I don't have enough knives to fill up one drawer.

How about ferro rods? Or are you a total slacker? :4:
Thanks for the heads up I'm gonna have to find one.About a decade ago I bought a Turnigy mini rolling cabinet and it's been fantastic for small tools like needle files and suchthe HF cabinet should compliment it nicely.
The HF model:
Does the lid stay up ?
Is this only available in 2 drawers?
I bought the Lowe’s Kobalt model and the lid does not stay up. And the drawers feel flimsy and very “gritty” when opening and closing
I’m going to take it back
My plan is for watches and knives

The lid will stay up but only because it leans back. The HF box has drawer slides and magnets to help keep them closed. Kobalt doesn't have either. The HF has liners too I don't think the Kobalt does?

Not total but maybe a half arse slacker?
Dangit now i need one!!
I picked one up Sunday for my bullet sizing dies and top punches. Picked up a second for my daughtersuspect she will be organizing her baggie of Allen wrench’s and other small tools. Made her day!!
This is a better deal as the kobalt doesn't come with liners
