There aren't any compartments at the top that I don't like. The compartments at the top take up a lot of space in the toolbox and I bought this toolbox mainly for that reason. I have many toolkits that are highly rated here on Revain. I don't agree with the high ratings of other toolboxes, but I think I should review this one because it's the roomiest, most attractive, easy to find, and no nonsense. The top tray fits in snugly, unlike the Stanley tool boxes. Oops, I didn't mean to disrespectβ¦
