Storage for small things, nuts, bolts, . . .
 

O.K., any recommendations for something that can be bought & mounted
to the wall to store nuts, bolts, anything capable of sitting into
small spaces? Been looking around the Internet for a while and just
nothing that fits my needs for an affordable price. Thanks for any
suggestions.

The really small stuff can be stored in fishing tackle boxes.

For small stuff I have been buying the plastic containers at Harbor
Freight when they are on sale or when the email coupons discount them.

Be sure to get the ones with REAL: hinges...not the folded over
plastic type.

How small? I use the standard multi tray organizers for stuff up to
about 10-32 size. From that up I have a wall covered with the gray HF
storage bins. Tagged with sizes from #12 through 1" and sorted by
size/material/length. They go on sale all the time and are low priced
but surprisingly sturdy. Then went to a Jo-Ann fabrics and picked up
some 20 Ga. clear vinyl and made a drop over cover that keeps the dust
and shop crud from collecting in the bins.

I use a large set of surplus Acro-bins and their proprietary wall and
bench mounted racks. They aren't cheap new, about $80 for a bench
mount rack and about 20 bins, but if you can find a set surplus,
they're hard to beat.

From my pipe smoking days, I have about 80 half pound tobacco tins.
these fit, three to a space between the studs of the dividing wall in
my basement (sheeted on the other side). I ran horizontal strapping to
support each row of cans. Labels are 2 x14 inch large type (printed
landscape on legal paper) held on and kept clean with clear packing
tape. When I was in a garage, I built a framework on the block wall.
Other covered cans such as one pound coffee cans or nut cans will work
as well. I avoid glass jars at all cost.

harbor freight has a thing with little bins that pivots at the bottom that
mounts to the wall - I like it for small things

If you (or someone you know) uses a lot of pharmacy pills, they oftem
come in nice plastic jars, with child-proof screw tops. Good for small
fasteners.
