Yes, this is possible. The toolbox has a 20-inch exterior dimension (length). The inside measurement (length) starts at 19 inches and gradually decreases to 17 inches. At the very bottom of the box, it measures 7/8 inch. An 18- If you place the inch tool diagonally inside the toolbox's bottom, it will easily fit.
The toolbox's inside dimensions are 17-inches by 17-inches by 17-inches by 17-inches 7/8" wide x 7/8" long 1/2" wide at the very bottom of the box, tapering out to 19" long by 9" wide at the box's lid. The box's useful inside height without the tray is 7-1/2". 3/4" - with 4- 3" of height beneath the tray and 1/2" of height beneath the tray 1/4" above the tray is the recommended height. (Because the handle is recessed into the lid's center, you actually have four handles.) On the left and right sides of the tray, there should be 1/4" of space above it.
It measures 20 inches in width by 9 inches in height. There are ten in total, counting the protruding front latches and the hinges on the back side. The depth is 5 inches.
It's something I take with me when I go camping. I wouldn't call the lid "sealed" because it has a nice lip and clasp. My tools haven't rusted yet because I keep it in the under storage all the time.

This is without a doubt the best small toolbox I've purchased in the last two decades. Just in case, I keep one of these small tool boxes in my car with some frequently used tools. I've bought a few over the years because they're all garbage and don't last very long. All of the others are now made in Mexico for a lower price, and believe me, you can tell. All of the latches are plastic and wear out quickly, and the tool bags are also bad, but they're the only ones you can find at Lowe's, Harbor Freight, or any of the other big box stores, so I was stuck buying them over and over. This time, thank goodness, I was looking around on Amazon for something else and came across this Plano box and man, what a difference. I read the other reviews and decided to give it a shot and it's made just like they used to make them all with metal latches, sturdy construction, and a huge bonus is that it's even waterproof so your tools won't rust inside this box, and it's still made right here in America, so buying it helps keep jobs here. This toolbox is fantastic, and I would strongly advise anyone to get one.
This Plano toolbox, made in the United States, is ranked number 5 in Amazon's top ten toolboxes video, and it appears to be an excellent value for the money. When the item arrived today, however, the lid (rear) hinges, which must bear the entire weight of the time when fully loaded (along with the metal latch loops over plastic), had *PLASTIC* hinge pins rather than metal. Metal hinge pins are used in high-quality boxes with plastic barrels (or knuckles) as a hinge. This item employs plastic knuckles that "snap over" the molded lid's plastic hinge pins (molded as an integral part of the lid). Such pins, in my experience, break and fail when loaded. The toolbox is made to hold "larger" tools - These become quite substantial. What model with metal latches (or latch loops) and a metal hinge pin would Plano personnel recommend if they read these reviews?.
The construction is solid. Unlike other China-made products, it is not flimsy. These days, made crap is the norm. I bought one of these at an Autozone ten years ago and I absolutely adore it. It's the perfect size for my massive Rigid Impact Drill and all of its attachments. These items are simply not available in stores. This is where I finally found it. I'm thinking about getting another one just in case.
This is a box that can be used in a number of different ways. It has a removable inside tray and is designed to be used as a toolbox. It is, however, ideal for storing anything. If you need more space, simply remove the inert, and you'll have a fairly deep shell for whatever you require. I've also seen these used as a project box, with holes drilled for switches or outlets, for whatever project you can think of. Overall, it's a fantastic deal for the amount of flexibility it provides.
I purchased this tool box in order to declutter my junk drawer, which had become overrun with tools. It's a little larger than I'd hoped, so it takes up a little more room in the closet than I'd hoped, but it's worth it to have all of the tools in one place. Fits hammers, channel locks, C wrenches, long screwdrivers, and other small items such as allen wrenches comfortably. I got my drawer back, and it's still a toolbox for the house, not a garage.
This toolbox will primarily be used to store magazines and cleaning supplies for my firearm. It's made of tough plastic that should hold up well, and it's also quite large, so I'll be able to fit most of my necessities inside. br>br>I bought enough foam to line the bottom of the container so that my okay surefeeds don't bang around as much. br>br>I noticed the lock tab wasn't drilled out very well, but that's a minor flaw that can be fixed with a hammer and a screwdriver. This toolbox isn't supposed to be pretty because it's going to get scuffed up anyway! br>br>That's the only flaw I've discovered so far, but it's minor to me and won't detract from the overall purpose. Oh, and just a heads up, the "brass" brackets may appear to be brass, but they are actually plastic, which is fine because it closes without a hitch. If you really wanted to, I think you could swap them out for metal ones.
Even if the latches fail (they're mostly plastic), there's a spot in the middle to put a lock or something else to keep the lid shut. However, it should be sufficient for my purchase. It was purchased for art supplies (paints, brushes) so that they could be easily transported. I did make it look a little more fancy by spray painting the design with a stencil I made (after sanding the area). This appears to be a good fit for my intended purchase.
For the past six years of biology labs, I've carried my microscope around in this tool box. To give you an idea of how you might pack microscope parts with egg crate foam, bubble wrap, and plastic bags, see photos (1,2,3). I keep the head and eyepieces separate from the main body, but your mileage may vary. For bits and pieces, a standard school supply box works well on one end. br>br>* * * *

br>br>Sturdy and deep. It has a good grip. The latches are made of plastic, but they are very strong. The tray is immediately removed. This tool box transforms into a fantastic microscope carrying case with the addition of some egg-crate foam! There's even space for a school supply box containing objective lenses, immersion oil, and slides; a small digital microscope, a power cord, and a rolled-up sheet of paper cover up the dust This is the simplest and most cost-effective way I've found to transport a microscope to biology classes and other outings. I'm off to a co-op of homeschooling parents. This cash-strapped company The traditional laundry basket with beach towels is outshone by a friendly approach. Great Scopes' John Lind directed me to his website, where he demonstrates how to do it. Easy DIY. He recommended this precise Plano tool box, which I was unable to locate in my area. Thank you so much! I'm not sure I can put the instructional URL here, and I don't want to break Amazon's rules about promotional content, so if you're interested, do a site search for "Make a Carry Case for Your Microscope" on his site. He has good pictures and explanations. Note: Mr. Lind is the photographer in the photo with the white egg crating in the lid. not mine.
