CRAFTSMAN CMMT98286 CRFT RECTANGLE MAGNETIC TRAY

CRAFTSMAN CMMT98286 CRFT RECTANGLE MAGNETIC TRAY

CRAFTSMAN's 5-1/2 x 9-1/2 inch rectangular magnetic tray with a rubber base and flat bottom. It suits a bench where screws, hobby blades, pins and small steel tools need to stay put.

Price range: See on Amazon

What we liked

  • + 5-1/2 x 9-1/2 inch tray is large enough for tweezers, files and blades as well as loose screws and pins
  • + Rubber base prevents the tray from scratching a cutting mat, desk or painted surface
  • + Flat bottom removes the risk of tipping when you drop parts in or pull a tool out

Trade-offs

  • - The magnet only holds steel: plastic, resin, brass photo-etch and white metal parts just sit loose in the tray
  • - One open compartment with no dividers, so mixed small parts are not sorted for you
