The $15 Mini Toolbox from Harbor Freight<\/strong><\/h1>\n\n\n\n
\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

How did I not know about the mini toolbox category? In this \u201cShop Humor\u201d video, they look at these teeny-tiny toolboxes from Snap-on, Micro Tool, Pit, and good ol\u2019 Harbor Fright. While silly and useless to some, this size (e.g. 11\u201d x 6\u201d x 6.5,\u201d with 2 drawers and a lift top for the\u00a0U.S. General box<\/a>\u00a0from HF) is perfect for hobby tools and materials and similar smart parts makery. In the review, the only one that seems worth it is the box from Harbor Freight. It\u2019s only $15(!) (at time of review). I couldn\u2019t hit the link fast enough only to see that it\u2019s currently out of stock. I am definitely looking to get a couple of these for my hobby workbench.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
