The Makita MAKTRAK Sub-Compact Box Keeps the Small Stuff in Check

If you’re already an avid MAKTRAK user, or you’re just getting into the system, you probably saw our blogs on Makita’s two new rolling toolboxes. No, Makita didn’t sneak out a third one. But it did release the next best thing: a compact storage box for all the little stuff that normally disappears at the bottom of your toolbox.

The Makita MAKTRAK Low-Profile Sub-Compact Box (T-90283) is built for small hand tools, accessories, PPE and loose parts. Think drill bits, fasteners, electrical connectors, blades, safety glasses or anything else you want to keep organized and easy to grab.

The biggest advantage here is the size. Its compact footprint makes it easy to dedicate one box to a specific job or trade without carrying an oversized organizer full of stuff you do not need.

Other useful features include:

1. A clear lid that lets you see what is inside without opening the box
2. An integrated, glove-friendly carrying handle
3. Impact-resistant copolymer construction for jobsite durability
4. Compatibility with MAKTRAK modular storage boxes and organizers
5. A low-profile design that is easy to stack, transport and store

You could load one with electrical supplies, another with plumbing fittings and another with drill and driver accessories. DIYers could also use it for picture-hanging hardware, furniture fasteners, safety gear or other small items that tend to end up scattered around the garage.

This box won’t hold your circular saw or rotary hammer. It is designed for smaller items that you want to keep organized, visible and close at hand. The clear lid helps you find what you need quickly, while the compact shape makes it easy to bring only the supplies required for the job.

One compatibility note: Makita states that the box will not connect in certain corner positions on the MAKTRAK Large Tool Box Lid (T-92302), which is used with the T-90009 Rolling Tool Chest and T-90015 Large Tool Box. Keep that placement limitation in mind when planning your stack.

If you already use MAKTRAK storage, the T-90283 gives you a simple way to organize smaller essentials. If you are just building your setup, it is an easy and practical place to start.
