Customers say
Customers find the tool box functional and appreciate its perfect size, noting that everything fits in perfectly and it’s small enough to carry several tools. They like its lightweight design and consider it good value for the price. The build quality receives mixed feedback – while some find it sturdy, others describe it as cheaply made. The latch mechanism is problematic, with customers reporting that it falls off easily and makes the box suspect.

Handy sized toolbox
Handy sized toolbox for my basic in the house tools for when working on electrical switches. It is very sturdy.

Good cheap toolbox
Its not particularly heavyweight but works for me to hold my tools in my apartment and is affordable. I don’t have anything particularly heavy but would not recommend this if you’re using your tools daily, but thats why its at this price point.

Great deal, but latch is flimsy
I am glad I bought this because the size is great, but the plastic latch sometimes falls off and I don’t trust it to hold when it is heavy from many tools. I have a larger craftsman toolbox that has metal in the latch. I wish this box, which is a great small size, had a sturdier latch.

Nice little toolbox for the car
Fits perfectly between the inner fender and the taillights on a lot of cars. Fits behind the seat of a standard cab pickup. Receiver hitch ball, small wrench or socket set, tire plug kit, battery booster, very compact air compressors, etc. Would be equally as handy on a boat. Tie the handle to something solid. The latch works pretty well, but you could wrap a bungee around it if you were paranoid about it. Good hall closet toolbox, long enough for a good all-around hammer. The tray is just deep enough, and there’s still just enough room under it. The handle folds down FLAT, I can imagine a half a dozen of these in a rack for organizing project boxes. Boomstick cleaning kit, craft paint, golf balls, secure box for a side by side, a few plumbing tools, lawn machine toolkit.. It’s a cool little toolbox!The only cons are, it is really small, and in direct sunlight it could get really hot.Pretty sure I’m going to buy another one or 7

Not up to Craftsman standards
Nice size. The design is fine, but overall, the box is for tools, so it needs to be studier, so make it from thicker plastic. The price is fair for this, but given the choice, I would pay more for the same model, but with thicker plastic.I do not think this is up to Craftsman’s reputation, so I’m disappointed. I bought it for my daughter’s tools, but she will use it infrequently and keep it in a storage closet. Do not get this if you plan on using it everyday for your workshop, or on your jobsite.

Nice Size Tool Box
Just the right size “Craftsman Tool Box” for around my home, and in my truck when I travel. Yes, I am a Craftsman fan, and I plan to fill my new tool box with only Craftsman tools. As a female, I did not have a tool box or tools. I relied on my husbands tools, and later my kids tools. They liked Craftsman as well.Craftsman and Winnie the Pooh are synonymous with Sears Roebuck & Co, and they both will forever be iconic legends in my book. I proudly worked for, and retired from Sears after 23 years. I may be sentimental… but that is not why I recommend this Craftsman Tool Box or recommend the Craftsman Tools. I knew I wanted Craftsman, but there were so many sizes, it was difficult to decide which one will be perfect for my needs. I wrote down all the sizes on paper, pulled out my Craftsman tape measure, and narrowed out the boxes that were too long, not deep enough, or too big. Honestly, I was not sure about this box, the great price made me ask myself… would it be too small? So, I tell you the truth. I recommend this box because the size is just right for a basic set of tools. Not too big or too small. The handle grip is strong, I can add a lock… and it is proudly made in the USA! What’s not to like? This Craftsman Tool Box looks tough, and just like its tools will likely stand the test of time in durability. 🙂

Great box for hidden gems! I thought a small lock and it works great for what I need it for

As expected. Nice product, but you get what you paid for. Don’t expect snap-on

I have 2 adult sons that live and home and although they are helpful around the house they CANNOT put a tool back if their life depended on it. (My 21 year old will agrue it’s only the 18 year old that does this). So I bought a tool kit (actually 2) so they could just throw stuff back in there and then at least we’d know where to look…the tool kit is empty. BUT they are great value for the money!

Just moved into a condo and have collected some tools that were rolling around cupboards so saw this on sale and bit :)It smells like a toolbox, functions like a toolbox and did what it was supposed to do. I sometimes fumble with the latch a bit, but honestly I cannot complain, I didn’t have huge expectations but now I am fully organized with something that a non handyman can come and access whenever he needs to “fix” something in the house.Recommend, but try to get on sale 🙂
