Toolboxes

Im looking for a tool box. I live in an apartment and have limited space hence my lack of tools. What Im looking for is basically a durable brand with compartments for various electrical connectors and maybe a side compartment for drill bits, etc. It doesnt have to be something glorious and fancy. Something like these:

I'd just swing by Home Depot or Lowes and check em out there. See how easy it is to pull the locking clips off. Those are always the first thing to go, atleast for me. I hate it when those cheap plastic clips break, or pop off easily.

My current box is an open top one, I'd find a picture of it, but I'm laying in bed on my iPhone. It's kinda like a bowl, in a rectangle shape, with a handle that goes across. Little pockets all around to slide the tools into, all the small things, I keep in cheap plastic containers, they will break, even the expensive ones, so I get the cheap ones, they last a month or two depending on use.

You get what you pay for.

I grabbed a Husky toolbox. It was normally $30 and I was willing to pay that, but got it for $14 after I was rang up. Its similar to the one below except the clips are solid metal and the top boxes slide out for easy moving. I have all my electrical connectors in there and then inside it has a holder for screw driver tips.

The car shop I worked at has one of those with all the wrenches and nuts, it seems pretty durable, the three trays slides in and out without a problem and it does not bend.

Mine doesnt have that. I have just the tray that sits on the top, but other than that they are almost identical.
