I am a fairly handy individual, but not a pro. I have a larger toolbox that I keep most of my tools and hardware in and a separate crate for my powertools, but I wanted a smaller, simpler box for essential tools and quick jobs around the house--hanging a picture, repairing a drywall scratch, etc. This box does the trick. It's quality construction and attractively painted, and it is lightweight. The only downside is that there are no dividers within the compartments, so you should limit the amount and variety of tools and hardware you store in it. But that's kinda the point, right? A great gift (if you throw in a hammer and some screwdrivers) for a renter or new homeowner.
