I bought this to use as a pill container. So I can’t say I have used it for what it is really made for. That said I couldn’t be happier. It holds 5 vitamin capsules and has room for a couple smaller ones. Regardless of what you are thinking of using it for the engineering is outstanding, it’s built like a tank, and definitely water tight. I have a similar product for toothpicks from a different reputable brand that’s cheaper (still good / no complaints with it) but the quality of this product is noticeably better. If you are a sucker for fine details and things that are overbuilt, you should be happy with it. Side note I got the whistle awhile back before I bought this and would say the same with that.
