2 Pcs Metal Hinged Tin Box Container Mini Portable Small Storage Container Kit with Lid for Home Storage 3.7x2.3x0.8 inch, Silver

Great little tins, the size and build similar to Altoids mint containers. I use my leftover mint containers to store my crochet notions (sewing needles, stitch markers, small scissors), so I can easily grab the tin and throw it in the project bag I want to work on. But I only had 2 mint tins, so I bought these so I could have a bunch of notion containers ready to go. I bought the extra scissors and stitch markers on Amazon as well, divided up my craft sewing needles, and assembled them all in each tin. I usually have about 1/2 dozen projects going at a time, so now I don't have to play "find the notions box" when I'd rather just grab a kit bag as I'm running out the door to work or other places. Great tins for organization. The lids are attached so you can't lose them, and function fine. These are perfect for holding my notions when I'm on the go, and I love the dark gold color. I now have 10 kits prepared and I always have plenty available!

So I got these as a special item for my son and I. We saw a video on how to make little fire starter kits out of cardboard and melted candle wax. We thought it would be cool to do this and have a place to store them. These little tins were perfect for the size. Locks down well. No smell. No dents or scratches. Even, consistent finish. We got a multi-pack to make a few and gave the as gifts for the men in our family.

I was using a candy tin with the same measurements to pack some electronic equipment for travel, a small AM/FM radio and wired ear buds. The radio fit perfectly, but the earbuds could not squeeze in. I ordered these (actually by mistake, I didn't realize they were exactly the same dimensions as my container). I was going to cancel the order but they were on the way, so I waited. When they arrived, I could see that the angles in the corners of the containers were a little sharper. Still rounded, but not as much. So, I tried putting the radio in, and it fit (like it did in the other). But, there was more wiggle room because of the slightly better defined corners. It ended up providing another 3/16" of room inside, so that both the radio and the earbuds were easy to pack into it. Although the overall dimensions (L, W, and T) are identical to my original box, the volume is actually considerably larger! The only downside is that the bargain price per box required me to buy 6 of the even though I really only wanted one, but you know, it justifies the free shipping. Anyway, I can find uses for the rest. They are far sturdier than acrylic that is so common, and they aren't plasitic, but rather recyclable biodegradeable steel. Good product. Note that they also have hinges so that the lid can't get lost. I knew that when I bought them. Just realize that there is no way to make them air tight or water proof with the hinges. I would have preferred to buy a box with no hinges, but could not find any. No hinges would have provided some protection from water for this box, but that was not a priority, mainly I wanted to protect the radio and keep it together with the ear buds. Mission Accomplished!

This is a no frills box, it works for a variety of things, stays closed, opens fairly easily. They are durable and will last, we use to put fishing lures in them.

Wanted to wait to write my review till after I tried them in the fire to make Char Cloth. These held up well through the first firing. Can't speak to later on, but there doesn't seem to be any issues and I plan to char more cloth in them. I tried charring the cloth two ways -- 1) WITH putting a small (very small) hole on top with the very tip of a steak knife, and 2) without a hole on top, trying to rely on the hinges to provide just enough air to char. WITH the hole on top is DEFINITELY better. They almost didn't char at all over 20 mins with no hole punched in top. Also -- I tried them with holes then another two ways 1) with ONLY about 6-8 pieces of 100% cotton Tshirt (cut to size of ID of tin) and 2) filling the tin with the pieces of cut-up cotton. With 6 - 8 pieces inside the tin, they charred beautifully on a Gas BBQ with the lid CLOSED in about 15 minutes. Using same technique but with MORE pieces inside, they didn't char at all even after 30. Both of these cans can small holes I punctured in the top. The second one was just too full. The fabric got slightly brown, but didn't char. I'll stick with 8 pieces and try 1 more, one at a time to fit the perfect amount to char in 20mins. They are the size of Altoids cans. I like the fact they are plain, without a coat of labeling ink. These FIT THE BILL for me. They would also work well as small packets inside my purse, bug out bag or travel bag as the lid is tight enough to hold in place but still easy enough to open.

I bought these tins to use for flint and steel fire making kits and survival kits. A steel flint striker, flint and charcloth fit nicely in the tin. The lid has a small hole in it now, so the tin can be placed in a fire to make char cloth. Would love to have a tin like this which is even heavier material. They seem quite adequate for what I have in mind, and plan to purchase a few more. Good price and great delivery.

I purchased these tins to create storage kits for my fiber arts projects and it worked out well. These tins are just the right size to hold a small measuring tape, tapestry needle, stitch markers, and scrap yarn. The tin was too small to contain my snips but that's okay. Now I have a set of fiber arts notions tins for each project I'm working on!

These are great tins but they got banged up during shipping. I used the ones that came undamaged for my bulk gum.

Perfect for keeping things safe and stored away securely
