Plano Tackle Box: Plano 3700 Size Prolatch with Adjustable Dividers Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This is certainly a superb product. I have four, plus several other Plano Prolatch models.

PROS:
-Latches are positive (you know when they are closed right) and reliable
-Durability appears very good
-Easy to see through
-The lid can be carefully snapped off and re-attached

CONS:
-Even when inserted properly, the dividers may be loose enough to slide upwards easily.(Perhaps I cut mine too close.)
-Difficult to get exact inside dimensions to know if your particular object(s) will fit

LAYOUT:
Four fixed rows.The rear three can have 1 to 12 compartments, the front row can have 1 to 10 compartments (because of the latch).These "latch compartments" are double-wide, but squeezed 1/4" toward the rear.

INSIDE MEASUREMENTS:
(All compartments except the two "latch compartments".)

The easy answer is to assume that one single compartment can fit an object 1 1/32" left-to-right, 1 7/8" front-to-back, and 1 3/4" high.

So, if you use two compartments, you can fit something 2" left-to-right (plus 1/16" or so), but you're still limited to 1 7/8" front-to-back and 1 3/4" high.I measure that the longest object can be 13 5/8" (for 12 compartments).This discrepancy is because my single-compartment measurement is taking into account the slight widening of the dividers
at the very top.

The above takes into account the way the tracks for the dividers jut out into the compartment, and allows the space between them to be just wasted space.If your object is kept to 13/16" left-to-right, then it can be somewhat bigger, 2 1/16" front-to-back.

The two "odd" latch compartments: they are basically each 2-compartments wide (can't subdivide), with the compartments' front-to-back measurement reduced by 1/4", to 1 5/8".

At our house, these Plano organizers are used to sort and store small LEGO pieces and to store the usual hardware (screws and other fasteners, cup hooks, cable ties, etc.).For LEGO, it's very convenient to be able to remove the lid, but we also found out that a divider can slide upwards if you let your finger drag on it when removing a part.That would allow the sorted pieces to mix... I'm quite sure I can resolve the problem by adding some extra friction somehow.
