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.

... these rest on
1x2's across the open side of the mid-basement support wall, three per
space. ...

As Jim said, I have found such arrangements to be very inefficient of
space used.

For instance - the tobacco tins. If the tins are 6"t & 4+" wide, 3 of
them take 6 x 16 sq in of wall (32 sq in each). If instead that wall
space was used for divided drawers like this:

You might get 4 or 5 compartments in the same area on the wall.

Can't compete on price!
And lotsa luck finding a significant quantity of those


I've seen the vertical magnetic jars sold for kitchen storage. I have
re-used pill bottles for small storage on the bench, things like T-Pins
and probe tips for the meters are handy that way.
