Menda durAstatic ESD-Safe Tool Box with Removable Tray, Yellow, 14.5" x 7.5" x 5" – 35870
Keep tools, small parts, and workstation supplies organized with this yellow durAstatic tool box, designed for use in electrostatic discharge (ESD) protected environments. Manufactured from static-dissipative polypropylene, it provides a practical storage solution for technicians working with sensitive electronic components and assemblies.
The tool box features permanently embedded static-dissipative properties that help control electrostatic charge during handling and storage. Unlike containers that rely on a topical antistatic coating, its dissipative characteristics are incorporated into the material itself, so there is no surface coating to rub off during normal use.
An included removable inner tray provides convenient storage for smaller tools and accessories. The tray separates frequently used items from larger equipment stored in the main compartment, making it easier to organize a variety of tools in one portable container.
Measuring 14.5 inches long, 7.5 inches wide, and 5 inches high, the tool box offers a useful balance of storage capacity and portability. Its bright yellow color makes it easy to identify among other equipment and supplies.
The durable polypropylene construction is washable, allowing the container to be cleaned as part of routine workstation maintenance. It is suitable for electronics assembly, repair, inspection, and other environments where static-control practices are important.
Made in the USA, this tool box combines ESD-protective material, practical storage, and a removable organizer tray in one convenient solution.

Permanently Static-Dissipative Material
The tool box is manufactured from durAstatic polypropylene, a material designed to provide static-dissipative properties.
Ordinary plastic storage containers can accumulate electrostatic charge through friction, handling, and contact with other materials.
When used near sensitive electronics, uncontrolled electrostatic discharge can damage components or assemblies.
The durAstatic material helps address these concerns by providing a controlled resistance range suitable for appropriate ESD-protected environments.
Because the dissipative characteristics are incorporated into the material, they do not depend on a temporary surface coating.
This makes the tool box a practical choice for repeated use in electronics manufacturing and repair operations.
Removable Inner Storage Tray
The included lift-out tray provides an additional level of organization.
Smaller tools and accessories can be stored separately from larger items in the main compartment.
This arrangement makes it easier to locate frequently used equipment without searching through the entire tool box.
The tray can be removed to provide access to the main storage area.
It is particularly convenient for organizing precision tools, small accessories, and frequently used maintenance supplies.
Convenient Workstation Storage
With overall dimensions of 14.5" x 7.5" x 5", the tool box offers room for a variety of hand tools and workstation accessories.
It can be used to keep related tools together at a designated workstation or for moving tools between work areas.
Its compact rectangular design is convenient for storage on suitable shelves, benches, and equipment carts.
The bright yellow color helps distinguish it from ordinary storage containers.
Washable Polypropylene Construction
The polypropylene material is washable, making routine cleaning straightforward.
Unlike coated antistatic containers, there is no topical dissipative layer that must be preserved during cleaning.
This is useful in work environments where tool storage containers require regular maintenance.
Use cleaning products and procedures compatible with polypropylene and applicable ESD-control requirements.
Allow the tool box to dry completely before returning sensitive tools or components to storage.
No Surface Coating to Rub Off
Some antistatic storage products depend on a surface treatment or coating.
With Menda's durAstatic construction, the dissipative characteristics are incorporated into the material itself.
This eliminates concerns about a topical antistatic coating wearing away during normal handling.
The tool box remains subject to ordinary physical wear and should be inspected as part of routine workstation maintenance.
ESD-Protected Workstation Applications
This tool box is designed for use in electrostatic protected areas where sensitive electronic components are handled.
It can help organize tools used for electronics assembly, inspection, maintenance, and repair.
Static-dissipative storage is one part of a complete ESD-control program.
Personnel grounding, suitable work surfaces, proper handling procedures, and other required controls should still be used.
The tool box does not replace ESD shielding packaging for transporting or storing unpackaged sensitive electronic components outside a protected area.
Care and Maintenance
Clean the tool box periodically to remove dust, debris, and other contaminants.
Use cleaning products compatible with polypropylene.
Inspect the tool box and removable tray for cracks, deformation, or other damage.
Avoid exposing the container to excessive heat or chemicals that could damage the material.
Keep the storage area organized and avoid overloading the tray or main compartment.
For facilities with formal ESD-control programs, verify the tool box's continued suitability according to applicable testing and inspection procedures.
