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

Holds my fire starters

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 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!

I researched dimensions for a tin to carry Alana Fairchild pocket decks. This tin is perfect. It has a hinged lid with a ridge so it stays closed. Its sturdy enough but arrived already dented a little. It fits the pocket decks perfectly. It also fits US games miniature decks like Deviant Moon and the Lo Scaradeo mini decks like Murder of Crows. My only complaint is that the hinges aren't the best and sometimes arrive bent outward so the lid partially falls off but I've been able to bend them back each time. After that, so far, the lids hinges stay.

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 work with yarn. When I’m at transition points in a project, I need a few things: needle threaders, a measuring tape, darning needles, knitting needle tips, and stitch markers. Lots of these items are small and portable. I bought these to help me keep what I need in my work close at hand so that I can do my work while out and about…there is nothing worse that planning on hours of knitting only to be hindered because you don’t have the correct tool. The price is perfect for creating bulk to boxes. The lid closure is nice and tight, just like any classic mint boxes. The gold color option means I don’t have to make efforts to diy my case to make it cuter, and I don’t know what else I could possibly say for such a simple, but perfect product!

Works well to hide money in for presents!

These tins are pretty thin and flimsy. They could be easily crushed, like an aluminum soda can. Some of them arrived with dents. They were packaged in an unpadded manilla envelope, so it doesn't surprise me. The damage was likely due to an Amazon shipping and handling issue. If I were to use these for packaging items for gifts or for resale, I would be very disappointed and I would return them. However, I only plan to use these tins for my own purposes to temporarily hold things like match sticks, paper clips, fishing hooks, sewing needles, thumb tacks, and chewing gum. Overall, it was an OK price price for a lot of small tins. However, these are not durable and won't last long. They probably won't hold up under any kind of abuse, such as with banging around inside a backpack or with hurriedly fumbling around in a fishing tackle box, but they will serve their purpose in the short term, if treated gently. If you need to store something where the tins would bang against other gear or fumble around inside a junk drawer, then it is probably best to look elsewhere for something more substantial. You would probably have better luck with reusing an Altoids mint tin. These tins are flimsier than that and seem more appropriate for holding something very temporary, such as a gift card or a small gift box for little candies. They don't seem much good for any other purpose. I wish that the item description more accurately portrayed this; but, I suppose, you get for what you paid.

Bon produit

La grandeur d'une carte de crédit , très pratique

I actually bought these to make Die Hard Christmas ornaments. Being hinged the way they are it was easy to separate the two halves and use the deeper side for the ornaments. I think they worked out pretty darn good!

They're really a little too small for what I wanted to use them for but that's on me. I will definitely have uses for them in other ways. They are very well made lightweight, easy to open.
