    HF small parts organizers holding up in rack?

    There has been a couple threads about making these over the years. I'd agree that the harbor freight cases might be a little flimsy to "hang" from the edges. If there will be much weight, I'd think shelves would be the way to go. Here is my humble take on the project...

    Nut & Bolt Storage

    Re: Nut & Bolt Storage That's the thread! I was searching for "hardware rack" not "small parts storage". Photos of mine are above. I posted a few in the original thread while I was building, but never finished and never of my 3D printed dividers.

    Nut & Bolt Storage

    Re: Nut & Bolt Storage Based on a thread I found on GJ a couple of years ago (I can't seem to find it at the moment...), I built my hardware and small parts organizer using the Harbor Freight medium parts cases. Mine holds 46 cases, based on the largest carcass I could build using a single...

    Cabinet for Small Parts Storage Cases

    Yes. My "good" cases have deeper, more vibrant yellow trays, whereas the "bad" ones appear more pale or washed out. As I look at them more, I also notice more of the bins are generally misshapen too. I know it is all Harbor Freight and you get what you pay for, but still disappointing. Steer...

    Cabinet for Small Parts Storage Cases

    A quick note on the Harbor Freight medium parts cases that I got burned on this afternoon. Like many of their products, HF sells these cases under two different part numbers. 93928 and 62778. I had previously ordered all of my cases to date online, using P/N 93928. I've been extremely...

    Cabinet for Small Parts Storage Cases

    From what I've seen, the Bosch and Sortimo are really nice and offer some extra flexibility in terms of the various compartment sizes. But man, that price is too hard to swallow. I would have been looking at hundreds and hundreds of dollars for cases in my setup. In my case, I can afford a...

    Cabinet for Small Parts Storage Cases

    Thanks for the kind words! It is indeed a bit of a monster. Im still debating if it will end up on a mobile base or not, so it might get a bit taller. Otherwise it'll end up sitting on the floor and anchored to the wall. You are a bit taller than me, but due to this design, the cases must be...

    Cabinet for Small Parts Storage Cases

    Just wanted to pop in and thank you all for the inspiration! I've still got a couple of shelves to go and I need to add the back yet, but I'm nearing completion! Looking forward to having everything sorted and at my finger tips! I ended up making the outer frame, center divider, and back out...

    Craftsman Tool Kits

    Personaly, I feel that the larger kits have a lot of things you will not use very often. Many sizes of nut drivers for example. (might just be because I'm not a big fan of them.) I would say, just keep the set you have and add on to it. Buy a set of screw drivers, a set of wrenches, ect ect. I...

    Rotisserie anyone?

    Hello everyone, first time post by a Lurker. I don't have my own garage, I live in an apartment near the UWM campus, so space is tight. I miss my Dad's garage. :( Anyways, onto the topic. My Father and Brother built one of these to work on a mid 70's AMC Gremlin they are restoring. I'll snap...
