A tidy way to sort screws, bits and small parts that stacks with other VERSASTACK units. The modest load rating and lack of water resistance make it a shop shelf organizer, not a jobsite box.

Overview
Not a lidded carry box for hand tools, the Craftsman unit is a pair of shallow pull-out drawers for small parts, divided into compartments. It latches on top of or under other VERSASTACK pieces and lifts by a handle on top.
Small-parts sorting is its job: removable dividers let each drawer be laid out for screws, anchors or bits, and ball bearing slides open smoothly even when loaded. Its recommended load is light, so heavy hand tools belong elsewhere in the stack.
Who it's for
Hobbyists and tradespeople already using the Craftsman stacking system get a parts layer that clips into the tower. Anyone needing weather protection or a heavy-duty carry box should choose another unit.
Pros and cons
- Removable dividers adjust compartment sizes
- Smooth slides on both drawers
- Latches to other VERSASTACK pieces
- Top handle for lifting
- Water can get in
- Light recommended load
- No lock or padlock point mentioned
Performance notes
Bearing slides govern how smoothly a loaded drawer opens, and the shallow depth stops parts from piling up out of sight. Side latches lock each unit to the next so a stack moves as one piece, but the plastic body and recommended limit suit light parts, not heavy steel tools.
