Small parts organization

[MSweetz13]

So I saw the video of Adam Savages tool chests the sortimo stuff, and its PRICEY!!! like way to much for me being only 16, so I checked out this (http://festools-online.com/festool-tools-1/festool-storage-1/festool-sys-mini-empty.html) It looks cool, but there are like no reviews that I can find, and I dont know if their bins will even fit in it (Bins are here -> http://festools-online.com/festool-tools-1/festool-storage-1.html?p=2). Anyone know the quality, and more specifically how many of what bins would fit in this thing? If you have a video or a review of it I would GREATLY appreciate it, don't want to waste my money on something that wont suit my needs.

I don't know if you noticed or not but the first link is for a Mini Systainer which is only 10.4 x 6.7 x 2.75 in. Seems pretty small to start with and won't fit very many of the bins from your second link. That may fit your usage just fine though.

I've got a couple of Bosch's L-Boxx cases including one with small parts bins. Quality seems to be pretty good. I'm planning to get one or two more to organize my case-less Bosch tools and accessories.

To me that's still spendy for storing fasteners or materials for so I've picked up half a dozen Stanley Sortmaster Juniors over the last year or so. Each is set up for different parts and pieces i.e. 1/2" EMT conduit fittings, wood screws, etc.

DeWalt also has some stacking / locking storage boxes with inserts.

all the big box stores carry storage bins,
from small to large
cheap, and not so cheap

stanley has some with removable bins of various sizes

Yeah I did check those out, I was just wondering about the quality of the mini, and Ill check out the Stanley stuff also, I do want something small for now, and Im on a TIGHT budget bc I am only 16, also I plan on using it for electronic components (resistors, cap's, Pot's, switches, servos, motors and such.) Thanks,
