Somewhere I have seen a vertical rack of small jars suitable for
screws, etc. It was in a catalog next to bins on shelves. But
now I can't find them.

Anybody seen same for sale?
-----------------------

I thought jars with lids screwed to a rack was a good idea until I saw one
in person. They use space poorly because they have to be separated for hand
clearance. Close nesting rectangular containers like Akro bins fit much more
into the same wall area.

I separate screws by thread size and whether rust-proof or not, but not by
length, which greatly reduces the number of bins and fills them better.
Often I don't know the best length until I take the bin to where I'm
assembling the device and try a few sizes.
From way way back, I collected a couple hundred half pound tobacco
tins with twist off lids (I smoked a pipe and our office manager
rolled cigarettes for herself and ex-military husband), these rest on
1x2's across the open side of the mid-basement support wall, three per
space. An alternate container is the cardboard sided tins about 4"
dia. by 3" high with snap on plastci lids that come full of nuts (the
edible kind)
