I’ve put a crank-style radio, batteries, and various odds and sods, old Walkman, in a spare Craftsman metal toolbox. Someone mentioned aluminum foil, but I haven’t gone that far. Think it’ll work?

I would think so, but you might want to do some research on Faraday Cages. From what I have read they are fairly easy to build.

You might want to go ahead and try wrapping that tool box in the aluminum foil. I did the same thing sortof although I wrapped my crank radio in it’s own box it came in in alum foil then put that down in a steel ammo box. Homemade “Faraday Cage” or something like that.

When I first heard that term I didn't know what it meant. But then it dawned on me that I was listening to Art Bell, and it became obvious.

Just remember that when the polarity reverses you must crank the radio backwards
