Plano 3700 Size Prolatch with adj dividers |
This plactic box with dividers is normally used for fishing hooks, etc. I saw one with my friend in Oregon and realized it's perfect for all my vitamins and prescriptions I use every day. It keeps everything sorted out and in view because it's clear. I can take it with me wherever I go if I am on the run or traveling. I just keep it refilled each week.
I will need more dividers so I am going to locate that, but other than that I love it! |

Plano 3700 is the best |
|
I have used Plano 3700 series storage containers for well over a decade. They are great because of there versatility and their long life. They store extremely well and maximize my storage space. |

Plano 3700 stowaway boxes |
|
I use these boxes for several years, at both home and work totaling over 75 boxes. We use them to organize screws, nuts, bolts, fitting, parts, etc.... They are quick and easy to configure to size and big enough to hold a number of diffenent sizes without being too big. They make it easy to take the parts to the project. I have 1 storage holder (20 boxes) in the garage and working on another. At work we removed the dividers from the tool cabinet and filled the drawers with these boxes. A note, if you use them in the garage and it is cold, the plastic latch or hindge can shatter when opening of being rough with them. |

Inside Measurements |
This is certainly a superb product. I have four, plus several other Plano Prolatch models.
PROS:
-Latches are positive (you know when they are closed right) and reliable
-Durability appears very good
-Easy to see through
-The lid can be carefully snapped off and re-attached
CONS:
-Even when inserted properly, the dividers may be loose enough to slide upwards easily. (Perhaps I cut mine too close.)
-Difficult to get exact inside dimensions to know if your particular object(s) will fit
LAYOUT:
Four fixed rows. The rear three can have 1 to 12 compartments, the front row can have 1 to 10 compartments (because of the latch). These "latch compartments" are double-wide, but squeezed 1/4" toward the rear.
INSIDE MEASUREMENTS:
(All compartments except the two "latch compartments".)
The easy answer is to assume that one single compartment can fit an object 1 1/32" left-to-right, 1 7/8" front-to-back, and 1 3/4" high.
So, if you use two compartments, you can fit something 2" left-to-right (plus 1/16" or so), but you're still limited to 1 7/8" front-to-back and 1 3/4" high. I measure that the longest object can be 13 5/8" (for 12 compartments). This discrepancy is because my single-compartment measurement is taking into account the slight widening of the dividers
at the very top.
The above takes into account the way the tracks for the dividers jut out into the compartment, and allows the space between them to be just wasted space. If your object is kept to 13/16" left-to-right, then it can be somewhat bigger, 2 1/16" front-to-back.
The two "odd" latch compartments: they are basically each 2-compartments wide (can't subdivide), with the compartments' front-to-back measurement reduced by 1/4", to 1 5/8".
At our house, these Plano organizers are used to sort and store small LEGO pieces and to store the usual hardware (screws and other fasteners, cup hooks, cable ties, etc.). For LEGO, it's very convenient to be able to remove the lid, but we also found out that a divider can slide upwards if you let your finger drag on it when removing a part. That would allow the sorted pieces to mix... I'm quite sure I can resolve the problem by adding some extra friction somehow. |

Great versatile organizer! |
|
This is a great organizer. The dividers are adjustable which make it very versatile. We adjusted the dividers for hot wheels cars and it made a good case for them. It is also nice that you can see what is inside. My son got a different case for his hot wheels for Christmas, so we re-adjusted the dividers for organizing pencils, markers, erasers, etc. |
