Stays shut with a great latching system - and the lid closes flush on the top of the individual storage bins so things don't get mixed up. This is a great item - lots of individual bins for nails, screws, and other items for the handyman. Tough as nails - I beat mine around and it stands up to the abuse. Mine is now many years old - bought the new one for my son-in-law when I couldn't find a 2 inch screw at his new home. The compartments will hold items as big as a 4 inch screw or 16 penny nail and as small as a glazing point.
I've bought 8 or 10 of these cases over the last year. I use them to sort and store a bunch of nuts/bolts/etc and they work great. I'm going to have to build some sort of storage cart for them because I've become hooked and I plan to buy some more.
I have had no problem with even #2 screws migrating between compartments but, with screws it can be a bit difficult to identify them by sight. Five are 4.5x3 1/8, 8 are 3 1/8x2 1/8 and 12 are 2 1/8x1 1/2 approximately. This is basically a box of small boxes. This brings up the one relatively minor down side to this case which is; there is no easy way to label the bins as to contents. So this is really for accessories and parts. It works best with things that you can identify on sight: electronic parts, bits for drivers like the Dermal or Wecheer, or a bit less usefully for machine screws etc. Yes you can label the lid but that cuts visibility of the contents. The Brother P-Touch PT-18R Rechargeable Labeling System does well with 1/4" black on white or 1/2 black on clear.At the current price it is a good buy but at list it would be expensive.
This storage case gets a big thumbs-up. The delivery of this product was SUPER-FAST. I use it to store and carry my beads for my homemade jewelry in it. It's awesome, with sooo many other capabilities. Thanks, Amazon. I plan on buying more.
This product is fantastic for storing small items. No more small jars, no more drawer-type storage units, no more spills of screws, nails, etc. I use this in my RV--it is the answer to storing all of those small hardware items that one must have but doesn't know where to store. The storage device doesn't take up much room, it is easy to see the contents, and the individual compartments are removable so you don't have to take the entire organizer to the job.
