Pictured is the large size, it holds 14 (!!!) of the SMALL tins, in a tiny footprint. I added 1/8" foam dish packing sheets to pad each layer and the short sides. The tins contact the plastic on the longer sides. With the lid closed, there are no rattles of cans shifting. With 12 full tins and 2 empty ones it weighs 9 lbs 6 oz.

I saw this pic on another forum and shuddered, I used to live in earthquake country and I can image what would happen when the floor started shaking!

It would not be good if you dropped this box, but I plan to keep mine in a secured tool box drawer. I just ordered one more big and two small ones from Walmart, I think the small will be good for the big tins. I'll update this later with comments on the small box. I don't post in other airgun forums, so if you want to share this thread link, please do so!

I got one more big box and two small ones. The small size is great for12 gram CO2 powerlets, I can fit 31 neatly inside.

It really is too small for pellet tins. I filled the other big box with assorted tins, and everything fits nicely in my deep tool box drawer. The large boxes are almost *exactly* as tall as two Flambeau Tuff Tainers (stacked), they provide a nice level platform for another gear box to sit on top.

I really like this combination, it makes the most of limited storage space and all my airgun stuff, including compressor, now fits in one small part of my garage, and it is wheeled so I can shift it all where I want to be.
