Unless You operate a large farm shop, industrial site, dealership, or retail store with a high volume of bolt sales or usage; the bolt bins are often an underutilized, overkill way of storing bolts and fasteners. For the time being; use it as much as you can. I have a pair of poor man's lista cabinets that have worked out very well. They started out as a pair Craftsman top chest and roller cabinet combinations.. I also had 20+ of those 18 and 64 small drawer plastic organizer cabinets. I tossed 15 of the plastic cabinets, and lined the little plastic drawers up in the drawers of the Craftsman boxes.. The resulting drawer for 1/4" nuts and bolts has 30 little plastic drawers holding six different types of nuts, four different washer types. and bolts sorted by size.. Opening that single drawer puts all this into an unobstructed view, and each of the little plastic drawers can be lifted out, if desired.
I use one top chest drawer for the tubes of glue, silicone, and sealants. One drawer holds rolls of emery strip cloth, various tapes, and mechanics wire. Another larger drawer contains larger plastic drawers holding rivets, and there is enough room for the rivet guns to boot.
All those little assortment kits of copper washers, cotter pins, grease fittings and such stay in the little compartment containers they came in..
The Plano type compartment boxes work great for automotive bulbs, relays, hose clamps and other small parts..
I few years back, I went to the parts store and bought five feet of each size of vacuum and fuel hose. Rather than have them in their current dish pan, I will be picking up some re-usable freezer bags, and label the hose size and type in large print. A key ring in the corner of the bag should make them easy to hang, if desired. But, if placed in a drawer, those bags will not end up in a tangled mess.
The plastic shoe boxes that sell for about a dollar work well for larger parts that You may wish to keep separated from other things, such as hinges, larger plumbing or electrical parts and such. I use them to hold muffler clamps, zip ties, and rolls of electrical wire as well.
It is easy to spend $400 to $500 on storage solutions, and end up unsatisfied. Those 20+ plastic drawer cabinets stand as a testament to My blunder..
I have to laugh when thinking about this. After tossing most of those cabinets after removing the drawers, I made a trip to Wal-Mart and bought a couple more, just for the drawers.
Purpose built Lista cabinets would be the ultimate cure, But making the best use of what You have is a bit less costly..
I have thought about converting My 56" General top/roller into a parts unit. Those two sets of 26" Craftsman boxes have worked so well, but the 56" top alone would hold most of what is stored in the two Craftsman sets.
Keep in mind the secondary advantages of using an existing, Craig's list, HF, or other inexpensive tool box; It can be re-purposed as an equipment stand, and if not that, re-sold on Craig's list.
My goodness I dream about a setup like that
