Size

The main size of the container for tools. Inches are traditionally used for this designation, and the length is usually indicated as the main size. This information allows you to evaluate the "weight category" of the product as a whole, as well as to determine whether it is suitable for a particular instrument of large sizes. At the same time, the characteristics usually indicate the overall dimensions on all three main sides (in millimetres), however, it is more convenient for many craftsmen to use the size designation in inches.

For kits (see below), this paragraph indicates the dimensions of all containers supplied in the kit.

Lid organizer

Availability of a built-in organizer in the lid of the tool container.

The features of organizers are described in detail in paragraph “Type”; this type differs only in that it is built into the lid, and not made as a separate device. The combination of a box or case with an organizer allows you to conveniently store both large tools and small items such as fasteners or replaceable attachments in one container: the main volume is well suited for the former, the latter is convenient to keep in small cells of the organizer.

Organizer slots

The number of individual cells provided in the organizer. In this case, we can talk about an organizer as a separate device (see "Type"), or a set of cells built into the lid of the box (see "Lid with an organizer"). And for solutions with removable partitions, in which cells can be combined, the maximum number is indicated — with all installed partitions.

Organizers, by definition, are designed mainly for small things. Therefore, the more cells there are, the more varieties of small items can be stored in a container. For example, in 10 cells you can keep bolts of five different sizes and separately nuts for them. Such a number of compartments — up to 10 — is generally considered small, but in fact it is often quite enough. 11 – 20 cells can be called an average, and the most capacious organizers have up to 30 compartments. However it is worth considering that with the same dimensions of the container, an increase in the number of cells leads to a decrease in their volume.
