Overall, a very well designed and functional product. Too bad that the edges and corners of the aluminum sheet components had to be deburred, and the corners had to be rounded. If not done, the edges could cut your hands and the corners could tear your clothes or upholstery in your wehicle. Seems like fewer and fewer manufacturers are likely to completely finish their products anymore. I guess hand finishing is too expensive. That's why manufacturers are going overseas for cheap labor and hand finishing.

I do not like to give to bad reviews. But, this really is a piece of junk. Most cookie tins are better constructed then this product. All the edges of the sheet metal are unfinished and sharp. The aluminum is very thin gauge and will bend with the slightest stress. This product will not live through more then a few months of normal job site bumps and bruises.

Really. I mean that. It is a metal box designed to withstand the stresses of the general contractor. Ya the edges may need "de-burring" and such, but geez - you're most likely a contractor who handles modifications to tools and products all the time. Take your file and the 10 seconds of your life to de-burr the edge. Done. I would rather that then pay 40 to 50 dollars extra for the same metal box de-burred for me.

I have had mine for 4 years and it has done what I asked it to do and for the money have expected nothing more. I didn't even need to de-burr it. It holds the necessary paperwork you need it to. It has a strong clip on top to secure some weighty items if needed. At the end of the day, week, month or whenever I clean it up a bit - straighten out the papers and re-load it ready for more work.
