A Closer Look: May 2014 The Handy Box Review – For the Home / “Handy” Subscription Box

May 2014 The Handy Box Review

The Handy Box is a newer subscription box that is great for DIYers, first-time home owners, and others who want a monthly box of handy tools and gadgets. The May 2014 The Handy Box is their second box and we were excited to see what was in this month’s box.

The first thing we noticed was that this month’s box was both heavy and STUFFED. After opening the box, we saw why. Right on top was a wireless security system.

May 2014 The Handy Box Wrap-Up

May 2014 The Handy Box Review

The Handy Box subscription box continued to deliver a great assortment of handy tools and gadgets with their second box. There seemed to be a “safety” theme with the security alarm and safety glasses. The staple gun is a tool that lots of people could use but rarely actually buy for themselves. The total estimated retail value of the May 2014 The Handy Box is $56.06.
