Hi folks,
I have loads of boxes of screws that I need to store in my van.
What do you think about using these plastic storage boxes that fit on
a metal louvered panel in a van? Are they likley to fall off if I
drive over a pothole?

That was my experience, plus stuff bouncing out as Peter said, plus anything
in the van not strapped down knocks them off.

Can you take a middle box out without having to remove one above it?

You can if you have a big enough gap.

I ended up with three of these which are stored upright

the cheaper ones don't have removeable boxes and the lid clips arent as
strong.

Strong enough to keep plumbing fittings in, which weigh quite a lot.

You can sometimes find the Stanley ones badged as Wickes & a bit cheaper.

I've also got a couple of these

if you buy them often the case is cheaper - as long as you use all the
screws.
