Klein MODbox 54823MB Dimensions & Tool Clearance
Klein publishes a compartment size of 16.6 in wide × 12.5 in long × 3.5 in high for MODbox 54823MB. Measure the tool with its battery and attachments, then compare each axis with room to handle it.

Scroll sideways to see the millimeter column.
| Measurement | Published inches | Converted millimeters |
|---|---|---|
| Compartment width | 16.6 | 421.64 |
| Compartment length | 12.5 | 317.50 |
| Compartment height | 3.5 | 88.90 |
| Exterior length | 22.3 | 566.42 |
| Exterior width | 16.4 | 416.56 |
| Exterior height | 14.4 | 365.76 |
The compartment and exterior fields use different axis labels. Use compartment values for tool fit and exterior values for the storage footprint; the sources do not establish how the two sets of axes align. Metric values use 25.4 mm per inch and are conversions, not new measurements.
Measure the complete tool.
- Use the configuration you intend to store. Attach the battery, belt clip and any accessory that will stay fitted. Measure the bounding length, width and height.
- Choose an allowance on each side. The calculator starts at 0.25 in per side. This is an editable planning assumption, not a Klein requirement. With that allowance, the dimensions available for the tool are 16.1 × 12.0 × 3.0 in before considering the opening or dividers.
- Check a 90° turn on the drawer floor. A long tool may clear the published rectangle when length and width swap. Its height remains unchanged.
- Check the drawer opening and dividers separately. A bounding box can clear the compartment and still catch on the opening, divider or rounded corner. Confirm those details for a close fit.

compartment clearance.
For Klein MODbox 54823MB only: the published compartment is 16.6 in wide × 12.5 in long × 3.5 in high. Compare a tool's bounding dimensions against that space, with an allowance on every side.
Klein 54823MB datasheetThis is a calculation using published dimensions. It allows a 90° turn on the drawer floor. It does not model dividers, the drawer opening, rounded corners or the tool's shape, and does not establish a load limit. Verify usable space before purchasing.
Use storage volume for the right question.
Klein declares 33.7 L of total storage. Multiplying the published compartment dimensions across three drawers gives approximately 35.7 L of rectangular geometry. The difference does not establish an error or extra usable space: the calculation does not model corners, ribs, dividers or openings. For a particular tool, compare its dimensions rather than relying on either total volume.
Check the environment and load scope.
The datasheet identifies 54823MB as not weather resistant and not rolling. If you need transport, check a separately supported MODbox base; the drawer unit alone does not include wheels.
Klein's specifications describe 50 lb capacity, while the warning calls 50 lb a maximum system weight rating. That scope remains unresolved. Confirm the limit for your loaded configuration with Klein, and never treat it as 50 lb per drawer. Klein also warns against using this toolbox as a step stool or ladder.
