Thickness? What has this to do with a tool box?Should this be robustness? But is plastic robust? Indestructible yes but robust, probably not.But its a Stanley and for the money not too shabby.I hate over centre closure more so in plastic but some of the metal boxes are criminally sharp and far too thin.So one settles for what manufactures compromised design offers to us, knowing that it might just cope with occaisonal use not the regular day to day pounding that makes Snap-On a better choice.As with all tool boxes manufacturers have no idea what you will put in them so the inner parts may or may not suit your needs. I have a larger version for bigger tools and a small version for computer/electronic servicing tools,

We all know that the Stanley brand, once an epitome of quality and one associated with knowledgeable craftsmenis now a good marketing tool for cheap tools and equipment in a World awash with other similar items.Gone are the days when a Stanley measure would last a lifetime and might even be handed down to the next generation.So this toll box should at such a low cost be measured against similar items at this or similar price and in this context it is a bargain. It is simple, one tray + two small sections on the top for screws etc bit it is ideal for a second box that holds the everyday essentials such as screwdrivers,

This review is for the:Stanley STST1-75517 Essential 16" Toolbox with Plastic Latches, Black/Yellow.I purchased these 16inch toolboxs ? to go along with their "big brother " one on wheels (see separate review). They are perfect for the odds and ends that build up and clutter your main toolbox ?. They are perfect for the job, and at a reasonable price. My only point is I would prefer metal clasps, not plastic. These would make this perfect.If you want a small toolbox ? that is easy to carry, these are perfect.I hope you found this review useful ?

Purchased to store my Bosch electric plane as the cardboard box it came in is starting to suffer from wear and tear.Hedged my bets on this toolbox as the dimensions given are external and don't take into account that the box tapers inwards towards the bottom.No surprise to find the plane won't fit.I could return the toolbox and buy a larger version but cannot be bothered with all the trouble it causes.I'll use this to house some of my smaller hand tools that are loose in my garage and see if I can find a bigger (and maybe stronger?) toolbox on line.

I was after a good sized tool box for my son who is 7. The previous one I bought was 12 inch and too small for him. He wanted to carry real tools so needed a proper toolbox. This one is ideal.He loves the fact it has a hole to lock it. He keeps the key in the top flap!Overall it’s built well, it’s solid enough and not weak at all.The inside tray doesn’t fit the whole inside by design. Which is fine.Lots of compartments and a handy size. A really good buy!Pls rate as helpful if this review helped you.Thanks for reading!

I purchased this to keep the bike tools in. Works fine exactly as should, no quibbles regarding quality, layout or function. Only thing is this was a too small for what I needed. Read the dimensions before purchasing and don't forget to measure your tools. I had a hex key set, multi tool, hammer, pliers, screwdrivers, torque wrench and all the bits. Other than the hex keys, everything else would fit but that would probably be the max tools it can hold. You can never have too many tools, always keep space for more.

Standard plastic tool box with 2 compartments on either side of lid, 3/4 length insert with 2 long compartments and 2 short and eye for padlock (padlock not included). Wanted something for basic tools and small replacement parts on a yacht and this box is ideal. I don't think it would suit someone who would be carrying it around and/or tossing it in and out of a van regularly as it is plastic but pleasantly surprised at how robust it is for the price! Happy with this purchase. Quick delivery.

Reasonably robust and solid. Long strong hinge on the lid should stand the test of time well. The lid has good clearance of the top tray so you can overload and pile things up in the tray but still close the lid okay. The top removable tray/caddy is about two thirds the length of the tool box - I would have preferred the tray to be the full length of the tool box but the resulting gap means you can reach past the caddy into the tool box to grab say, your extending tape measure.

There's very little wrong with the toolbox itself, it's easy to access what you need, light, sturdy and well designed. It's ideal for keeping a few household DIY bits in. The only criticism I have is entirely my own fault - it's small. You cant even fit a stubby screwdriver in the top compartments. I should have checked the dimensions but it'll come in handy anyway. If in doubt, buy a bigger one because honestly this is more suited to art/craft tools than real DIY.

I wanted something to store my ever-growing collection of bike tools and spare bits.This is essentially a large empty box with a removable tool tray that sits on the inside lip of the main store.There are a couple of little storage compartments in the lid.A folding handle is inlaid to the lid.I've got all the bits I want to be stored in the box, with plenty of room for more. It is a good, neat and sturdy box that meets my needs perfectly

My big tool box is a pain to carry anywhere needed so I bought a small that it cant accomodate my ruler, hammer, etc. This item does the job and I like it because it doesnt drop the lid all the way to the other side when you open... it stops at 90 degrees (something you have to know if you like the opposite). Small side pockets but its the least of my concern because now I can climb anywhere with it without breaking my back.

This was bought to house several small hand tools for storage in corner of a kitchen cupboard for handy positioning. I was so pleased with it that I bought another on the following day to house my soldering accessories. The design of the top lift-out tray is not the full length of the toolbox, allowing larger objects to be kept in the bottom section, towards one end. Good design, excellent value.

This toolbox has provided more than one use to me - it made a great gift, very handy box for the painter who received it, and an excellent cake carrier and balloon holder.This toolbox was very well received. It’s lightweight which is good for a grafter but not so great for a cake. There are also separate compartments which would provide space for screws and bolts, but not so much a cake.

Stanley does it again making this the sharpest toolbox in the box!Emblazoned in the characteristic not to mention stylish Stanley colours of deep black and a bold yellow splash the high quality plastic box reveals more as you open it’s lidInside you will find well designed compartments and lots of nooks and crannies in which to place your tools.Superb Stanley - well done !

I bought a number of these, each to store a variety of small items (e.g. tools, shoe-cleaning...) . This might seem like overkill/expensive route, but these are fabulous containers with handles that stack well and structure my odd-shaped storage spaces (e.g. under-sink, airing cupboard) really effectively. There is cheaper and larger storage, but for small bits, these are ace.
