Do the individual compartments seal completely? Would very small screws be able to mix through gaps in the lid?

The cover is soft plastic, is flexible and can bend - that's not good for non-light weight projects. I bought a pair and tested them for a few weeks. The latches work really well, but I went with the stanley organizers from HD because: - For me, I move my organizers around a lot and occasionally I'd get mixing across compartments - I found it difficult to remove small screws, washers, etc., from the bottom of the compartments - with the 1/2 of the box where the walls can move around, I'd frequently find that the orange walls would move up slightly while digging stuff out of the compartments, which caused more mixing - I decided that I wanted small boxes to hold each type of item. This let's me easily pull out a single box and have all the nuts/screws/etc. of the size I wanted. - The HDX boxes are smaller and don't hold as much as the Stanley organizers - The Stanley has a hard plastic cover that keeps everything in the right compartments - The Stanley latches are flexible, like the HDX latches, which is good. The Dewalt and some other organizers have hard plastic latches, which quickly crack, causing the box to lose its compartment integrity. - For Craftsman lovers (I'm a reformed one) StanleyBlackDecker owns the Craftsman brand and they just started selling Craftsman organizers that are the same as the Stanley organizers, except in red. If you want a light use organizer, the HDX boxes work well. I gave them to my granddaughter who uses them for her crafts - she loves them! I attached a few pics of the stanley organizers in action.
