Canadian Tire, wait for the sales to save some $$. Try looking at wallmart or Princess Auto too

The down side to those sliding drawer types, is somethings spring up and make it difficult to open a drawer. I find this mostly with small items in plastic bags with card stock tops.

I have since gone to Plano fishing type trays with adjustable bins and lids that securely snap down.

Plan 3730 is one part number.

Usually in the fishing gear section of Walmart or CTC.

At CTC check for 077-7563-6 which is just one of many. The 3700 family has many sizes. The size I use is CTC part number 078-0697-8
at about $17.00 but usually much cheaper at Walmart.

Look for 2-3730 ProLatch™ StowAway® in the seasonal or fishing dept of Walmart.

The advantage of the Plano is they latch securely and have movable dividers to change bin sizes. I have about a dozen and a half. Three are full of 1/2a size glow engines alone, 2 boxes have servos, 1 box has speed controls, another has receivers, and others are used for everything from pex fittings to AC electrical connectors.

They stack
Nothing like the smell of electrons in the morning ;-)
