I had to contact Plano to get these details:
"The model 964 is only offered as follows: 2 boxes have 6 fixed compartments and 2 have 12 fixed compartments. These racks will accept any of the other 3600 series boxes." So the 964 Organizer Rack is only offered with the bottom-of-the-line boxes with the standard latches and fixed compartments. Their excellent ProLatch boxes with the adjustable compartments must be purchased separately. I wish that they would instead offer the deluxe version (or just the rack separately), and stop trying to save me a few pennies.

The "3600 Series" boxes included have fixed dividers, unlike the actual 3600 box sold separately. The case is very flimsy and arrived completely bent out of shape by the plastic shipping strap. The boxes do not snap into the case and fall right out. The cases are "stackable," but do not lock together. I cannot recommend this product. I intend to return the two I bought.

i love mine! got lots of things organized and easy to find in a short amount of time. have not mounted it to the wall though so i can't attest to that aspect of this product.

I am a handyman and save little bits of hardware for future projects. Organizing nuts and bolts and screws and washers so you can find what you need in a hurry is a tough task. These organizer racks make it much easier. I have 5 of these racks mounted to the wall over my workbench, with labels on the outside of each tray for what is inside (nuts, washers, screws-drywall, screws-sheet metal, screws-wood, etc). If I need a drywall screw, coarse thread, 2" long, I just grab my tray, pop open the lid and grab the size I need. I can also carry the tray to the job site and have a variety of sizes at hand. These work much better than the organizers with 24-36 little drawers that you must keep opening until you find the right component. It is also much easier to sort a loose handful of hardware into one of these organizer trays than into a bunch of little drawers. The tray has adjustable dividers to accommodate parts of varying lengths.

The Plano products seem pretty durable. I've been using mine for 5+ years, the hinges on the lid are still attached, the latches still work, nothing has cracked or split, and the labels are still stuck to the front side. The rack makes it very easy to remove the tray that you need without disturbing the other trays in the rack. I'm very pleased with the product and would recommend this for any application where you have small pieces of hardware that you need to store and retrieve easily and quickly. Don't think of this as a garage tool only, I can see using it for computer hardware, model car bits, sewing and craft parts, coin collections, watch parts, stationary supplies, all kinds of stuff.

What can I say.
Have used this producct for years.
It works very well
No problems

I am not especially fond of this item and I believe I returned it. The boxes wanted to slide out. I am using these items for my scrapbooking. I'll let the guys use them for fishing.

Bent completely out of shape by the time it arrived. Cheap plastic shell that holds four cheap and barely subdivided trays. Would not recommend this to anybody. Plano is now in the 'never buy' pile.

No more digging to find 'that' one small item one is looking for. I have several of this storage bins and love them! They are compact and easily accessible, great to store small pieces--beads, parts, etc. The storage bins can be placed on a shelf or they can be hung on the wall. What else would one want?
