The Klein Tools 54823MB is the MODbox Three Drawer Toolbox, a stackable tool box from Klein's MODbox modular system, molded from impact-resistant polymers. Each of its three drawers rides on heavy-duty ball-bearing slides that fully extend, and a reinforced bottom channel keeps the drawers rigid so they don't sag when loaded. It ships with 24 removable dividers so each drawer can be laid out for the tools and parts it needs to hold.
Electricians, HVAC and plumbing technicians, and maintenance crews use the MODbox to keep hand tools and small parts organized and secure between jobs. An integrated locking bar holds the drawers shut during transport and stores in the base of the box when not in use, a steel-reinforced red latch accepts a padlock with a shackle of 5/16" or smaller, and a 3/8" cable lock feed-through lets you secure the whole system. Built-in side rails take accessories (sold separately), and the lid has a molded-in ruler and a V-groove for conduit or PVC. The unit connects with other MODbox components, also sold separately, to build a custom mobile workstation.
Common configuration: orange body, 22.3" L x 16.4" W x 14.4" H overall (56.6 x 41.7 x 36.6 cm), 1.19 cu ft (33.7 L) of total cubic area, and about 27 lb in weight. Each drawer measures 3.5" H x 16.6" W x 12.5" L (8.9 x 42.2 x 31.8 cm). Klein lists a 50 lb (22.7 kg) maximum system weight rating, stackable top and bottom, a heavy-duty metal latch, and six sides. Klein notes it is not a rolling unit, is not weather resistant, and must not be used as a step stool or ladder. A replacement divider (54923MBR) is sold separately, and distributor spec sheets list China as the country of origin.
