Shop Fox D2927 8-Tray Sandpaper Storage Box

 (3 customer reviews)

Not a serious piece. The drawers are too small to conveniently hold boxed or enveloped paper. They should be at least ¼" larger in each direction. The drawer depth is too shallow to hold 100 sheets. The units don't stack. I was surprised I thought they would be designed to stack one atop the other. The material they are made from bleaches in about a day when exposed to the sun and is unusually slippery. Overall these are fine for the hobbyist but not good for a real shop. But..... lets face it constructing a proper storage unit is easy and these are for the people like myself that are too lazy, even after 20 years of wood working, to build one.

I reinstalled them correctly and everything worked as expected. The unit had a sticker on it which I interpreted to be an inspection sticker. If I was right, the inspection failed.

As a retiree, my labor is free, so the overall cost of a self-made sandpaper holder would have been very little, probably only the cost of the glue used and the infinitessimal cost of tool deterioration during the process of construction and assembly.

This storage box is made of plastic and has enough drawers for sandpaper but the box is very cheap and maybe worth the cost if it was half of the price paid.

the drawers do not close completely. Very cheaply made. It does storage sandpaper.
Nor worth the cost.
