Reddit reviews TRINITY TWM-3501 Wood Toolbox, Brown

I got mine here for $93: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00Y3IR5M6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_pYJ5Bb4WWFBD6

Amazon and Harbor Freight have a slightly different one available for $80, but I prefered the design and size of mine over it...

Here is a link to the alternate model on Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0069KALB8/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_P0J5BbJF90BDM

Even though mine was slightly more expensive than the alternate model, to me it was worth it.  Mine is more like a "jewelry box".  The alternate model looks more like a "tool box".  Mine is slightly less tall and has smooth round edges.  The alternet is taller, chunkier and has sharper edges.  One of the complaints that I read about the alternate model is..  Although it has two locks, one for the top and one for the front, they lock keys do not match...  Mine does not have any locks.  Rather, it has a very nice metal "clasp", which when twisted, holds everything closed.  Overall, either of these boxes would be great for storing your gadgets and gear.  Again, I simply prefered the design of the one I picked, over the alternate model.

Also, mine didn't come with a mirror (a real one would come with a mirror)...  So, today, I added a mirror.  I used a 3" concave x20 power mirror, a magnet, a washer, and some double-stick tape, so It's removable.  All from Walmart for around $10.

The removable concave mirror is not intended to be used for vanity.  Rather, it is to be used as a magnifying/inspection tool...  When held properly, it can be used just like magnifying glass.

EDIT:  I bought some houseplants today, to keep it company 😊

have a link? I need one of these, terribly.

I have this. It's very good for the price and looks cool. Really want a Gerstner one day though.

This does not include Squids or fixed blades, which have their own homes. The chest is made by Trinity, and while it's not the highest quality (it's sort of a Gerstner ripoff), it's perfect for knives. The Squids and fixed blades live in these aluminum gun cases, which are cheap, effective, and come in various sizes.

The little box at the end of the video containing three Canal Street Cutlery Boy's Knives (which is back in business) and a Shelby Mihalevich folder was given to me by Gary W. Graley in connection with a knife purchase, out of pure generosity on his part, because he's a great guy.

Machinist toolbox. Harbor freight has a similar design, you can find it on Amazon and other online retailers.
EDIT: The specific model I have is made by Trinity, be warned its made of laminated MDF, it scuffs easily and if you aren't careful, you may strip some screws, and there's no telling if it will survive shipping.
You might have better luck checking in your local harbor freight for a similar one

I’d say it’s quite different...

This isn’t in stock but I can find it elsewhere for you. Just wanted to send this so you’d get an idea...

Alternatively, if you're keeping all your tools and parts at home try a simple wood tool chest. They look much nicer than a tackle-box or a tool-box and do a better job of organizing, in my opinion.

I know it’s not really a “display” case, but I have this and I love it:

From your link to the Amazon page: last year, Costco sold these for the low cost of $50.00, which was a steal. I've outfitted that with trays in the drawers, but it was a bit of extra work, and is probably a bit big to set on your desk!

However, if you are looking into desktop storage and want no more than 36 pens displayed, some visible, this is quite reasonable build quality (i.e. looks nice and is solidly made) for a pretty low price. Sometimes offered on sale at that site, and it sells for more at other places. The bonus is that it is already made for the pens with padded trays.

I've been wanting to get this:

I've wanted this (see below, too lazy to embed) ever since I seen a YouTube video of it being used as a kinfe/watch box. Ill be upgrading to this down the road when I out grow my current over glorified cigar box. Harbor Freight also makes a comparable version, both for under a hundo... This is what I'd get.
