Black & Decker Small Parts Organizer Box With Dividers

Why I picked up this organizer

I’m always fighting the same battle: small parts scattered across tool bags and bench drawers. Screws, anchors, wire nuts, and the random hardware that accumulates around projects tend to disappear when I need them most. I grabbed the Black & Decker organizer (a two-pack of small-parts cases) to see if a compact, configurable solution could keep my frequently used bits accessible without consuming too much bench or van space.

Design and build quality

Each case is compact—about 12.1 x 8.4 x 4.5 inches—and built from durable plastic. The form factor hits a nice middle ground: big enough to carry a decent assortment, small enough to tuck on a shelf or into a tote. The clear lid is genuinely clear, not the milky translucent plastic you sometimes see on budget organizers, so I can identify contents at a glance without opening it.

The hardware and hinges feel competent for a storage case at this size and price point. While there’s no rubber gasket or jobsite-grade sealing, the lid aligns well and sits flush, which helps keep parts from hopping between compartments during transport. The built-in ruler along the edge is more useful than I expected; I used it to eyeball screw lengths and to verify small cuts without searching for a tape.

Customization and capacity

The flexibility here is the selling point. Each case supports up to 17 compartments when all the included dividers are installed. You get 12 removable dividers per case, which gives you enough options to tailor the layout for your most-used items. For example, I set a row for 1-inch screws, another for 1-1/4-inch, and a long bay for anchors and wall plugs. The larger fixed bays take oddball items—pigtail bundles, picture-hanging kits, and a compact driver bit set.

Depth matters for how these cases perform. At roughly 4.5 inches tall overall, each compartment is deeper than flat craft boxes, which I appreciate for hardware and larger fasteners. It also means the organizer can handle bulkier items like wire nuts, toggle bolts, or small sanding drums without crowding the lid.

In use on projects

I loaded one case as a “fastener station” and kept it on the bench during a week of punch-list work. The clear lid turned out to be a productivity boost—fewer openings, faster decisions, less rummaging. The case doesn’t flop around when you carry it loaded, and the latch held well in and out of a truck. I didn’t experience spillover between sections when carried upright or laid flat in the back seat.

Driver bits and small drill accessories fit well in the longer bays. The ruler along the edge saved an extra trip to my tape measure when I needed to confirm screw length or check a small bracket measurement. It’s a small convenience, but it adds up when the case is within arm’s reach.

Craft and hobby use

I dedicated the second case to craft and shop odds and ends: ferrules, heat-shrink, cabinet hardware, picture-hanging supplies, and a mix of beads for a side project. The adjustable dividers let me cluster tiny items into tighter spaces and give bulky components more room. For very small items—think 2 mm seed beads or tiny watch screws—any organizer with removable dividers can be a mixed bag. If the case is tossed around, the smallest pieces sometimes sneak under a divider or ride over when a divider isn’t seated perfectly. Keeping the tiniest items in the compartments that share a molded wall with the case perimeter solved that for me.

Labeling helps. I used a fine-tip marker on removable labels stuck to the underside of the lid so I could reconfigure without scraping stickers off the bins. Because the lid is clear, labels are easy to read through the top.

Portability and footprint

The two-pack is pragmatic: one lives in the shop, one travels in a tool bag or sits in the passenger footwell. Each loaded case is manageable with one hand, and the dimensions make it easy to stack or file upright on a shelf. If you’re coming from large, briefcase-style organizers, these feel more nimble; if you’re used to tiny tackle boxes, these will seem roomy but not cumbersome.

Weight-wise, a pair of empty cases is light enough that you won’t think twice about adding them to your setup. Fully loaded with hardware, of course, the weight climbs, but the compact footprint keeps them comfortable to carry.

Durability and maintenance

After several weeks, the cases show the expected light scuffing on the lid from sliding around on a bench, but nothing that impairs visibility. The plastic bodies resist flexing when loaded, and the dividers lock in securely when pressed firmly into their slots. Like all modular boxes, the performance of the dividers is only as good as their seating: take a second to ensure they click into place and you’ll avoid most migration issues.

These aren’t weatherproof and shouldn’t be treated as such. If you’re working in heavy rain or dusty environments, stash the case in a bag or keep it inside the vehicle. A quick wipe with a shop towel keeps the lid readable and the latch area clear of grit.

Where it excels

• Fastener organization for small to medium hardware
• Craft and hobby components that benefit from at-a-glance visibility
• Portable kits (picture hanging, electrical odds and ends, driver bits)
• Situations where you need to reconfigure compartments often

The combination of 12 removable dividers and up to 17 compartments per case hits a sweet spot for flexibility. I also appreciate that the built-in ruler isn’t an afterthought—it’s actually handy.

What could be better

• Divider quantity is finite. If you want micro-compartments across the entire case, you’ll hit the limit. Extra dividers would be a welcome accessory.
• For ultra-fine parts (the tiny stuff), I’d still use small screw-top vials or baggies inside the compartments. That keeps the smallest items from wandering and lets you pour out only what you need.
• No gasket or water resistance. That’s fair for the category and price, but worth noting if you plan to use it outdoors.

It’s also worth noting that while the depth is a plus for hardware, it can be overkill for very flat craft components. If your primary use is slim beads or decals, a shallower organizer might pack more layers into the same vertical space.

Tips for getting the most out of it

• Seat dividers firmly and place the tiniest items against factory-molded walls to reduce migration.
• Use removable labels on the underside of the clear lid to keep the compartments flexible.
• Group by task, not just size: one case for wall/anchor work, another for electrical or hardware. The two-pack is ideal for this.
• Store upright when possible; contents stay put and the labels are easier to read through the lid.

Recommendation

I recommend this organizer two-pack for anyone who juggles small to medium components and wants a tidy, configurable system that stays visible and portable. The clear lids, up-to-17-compartment layout with 12 removable dividers per case, and compact footprint make it a practical upgrade over catch-all bins. It’s not weatherproof, and extremely tiny parts still benefit from bags or vials inside the compartments, but for everyday hardware, craft supplies, and project kits, the Black & Decker organizer strikes a smart balance of durability, flexibility, and value.
