Disclosure: I was sent this modular tool box free, for the purpose of providing an objective review. It is a little difficult to review a *piece* of a system, but here are my comments on this tool box.

The box comes with an optional center divider and a half-compartment sized upper tray.

First of all, it is an absolute BEAST when it comes to strength. I weigh around 80kg, and I have used it both as a stepstool and a seat, so when tasks are at those inconvenient levels, it doubles as a booster or keeping you off the ground. Secondly, the internal volume is huge. With the central divider, it easily accommodates all my largest screwdrivers and most wrenches (not larger pipe wrenches). Full size hammers also fit, on a diagonal if the center divider is in. Having said that, I think this unit is really designed for (and would be best suited for) storing power tools, with the upper tray for accessories or saw blades, tightening wrenches, etc. As part of a WHEELED, modular system (this box does not have wheels but the complete system does), it would represent a good modular storage option for a "mobile workshop" or at least MOST of the niche tools that one would want to be available. I *do* wish I had the complete system to review so I could get a better idea of its design function.    -
