Harbour Freight isn't known for their quality tools but their their storage containers are worth the price. Come see our review on these 3 containers.

Have several and no issues at all. Other than my own organization within them.

I just picked one up and i think its a great product at a good price if you use the harbor freight coupon.
I have both, the store house and the stanley 12 compartment for 13 and 18 dollars respectively. Here is the breakdown of the minor differences.
The stanley has a clear plastic in front, where store house has a cloudy plastic.
The stanley is made of better plastic, it feels sturdier, and the hinges have metal pins. The stanley is able to stand on its side better.
Overall, i would say they’re both good. If you want neat, compartmentalized storage, store house is totally fine. Ive seen people build shelves and line them with these cases at a reasonable price.
But if you are moving something to do heavy duty work, go with the stanley. It can take a hammer, or a drop from a proper height. I would say the durability is definitely proportional to the price.
Though i am surprised you want to store go pros in these. I would recommend going to a hard case. If you want to make another harbor freight review video... i recommend the harbor freight apache, which is a clone of premium pelican cases.
Edit: i forgot, the store house lid has one extra click to open and close. The stanley comes with more smaller trays, or the store house comes with more big trays. The dimensions of the individual trays are similar, but a couple millimeters different.
Stanley trays can fit in the store house (a millimeter shorter than height of case), but store house bins will not allow the stanley to close all the way.

I have used the middle size for several years and toted it many miles without a issue. I use them for screws.
Only complaint if you call it one is the little bins seem “too” little. But overall I am really pleased with it.

I rarely enter a comment. This is an excellent video. My compliments.

Thanks Karl. I have used the for small hardware and they work great. They are indeed worth the money. Thanks for sharing.

would love a playlist of container reviews :) thank you!

On the large bin holder case you can add a vertical strengthener to the bins that bow in the middle.

I’ve had several where the sticker was a bitch to get off! Took me 30 minutes with Goo-off. I also discovered that some of them have the stick stuck to the plastic over wrap. That’s the way to go if you can find those.

[@happy2meetu34]

They look a neat set of containers!

[@ScrollsawVideo]

Yes, I only wish that they locked together like the HDX brand.
Thanks for watching.

[@glockman9c]

Can the med bins fit in the small box? Specs say different depth which would be a silly manufacturing decision.

[@aliasfred]

The "dimples" in the bottom also add strength to the bottom.

[@JohnnyAirtimeJensen]

What is the ACTUAL exterior size of the small one?
HF website doesn't give it, and I need to know if it'll fit in a DeWalt tool box I'm repurposing.

[@mamabearssheshedtracykeato6941]

Karl, is there any sort of kerf between the top of the bins themselves and the lid? I deal with tiny little bitty stones at points, just slightly over grains of sand. Is this going to keep everything together even if it turns upside down? Any suggestions if this one doesn't work for me?

[@ScrollsawVideo]

Maybe you could get some of that 'fun foam' from Hobby Lobby and make a gasket for these bins.

[@Jordanwoodworking]

You have a great idea with the GoPro storage, I haven’t thought of that. Great review

[@ScrollsawVideo]

Love to see your setup, i need to add a chest mount to my collection of gear.

[@Jordanwoodworking]

@@ScrollsawVideo I may do one in the future

[@LakeErieWoodturner]

Thanks for the tip

[@ScrollsawVideo]

No problem!

[@CoachEbner]

Are these stackable.

[@andrewshoffitt3970]

I use the little one for fuses
The med. one I've put my rivet tool in it
The big like you I have my rotary tool in one. And in another I have my isolating. Tool in another for some examples
