Yep, those have a decent gauge. *If I could get my hands on enough of
those I'd make some metal bins that fit better on 18" deep metal
shelves that I have and I could rearrange my nut/bolt/screw
collections.

Maybe I'll try freecycle as you suggest. I haven't looked at it in a

they're pretty rugged.and hold quite a bit. Metal bins that fit the
shelves would be perfect though.
