I am looking for the storage bins for an assortment of nuts and bolts. Fastenal has them and I get a good deal but the color is their baby blue and I really want the bins to be red.

Who online sells these?

are you talking about the poly bins that are of varying sizes? i've seen them at swap meets for cheap...usually a few dealers....

if you are talking about the cardboard ones....i don't know.....

you also my give a harbor freight store a try.....again, they are yellow but they have a really nice little storage rack, bins and all for about $39...i've got one and i'm looking for another one.....seems like they had seperate bins too

Dad and I got a bunch from our local hardware store. You know the kind they have for display with the flat plastic or steel storage boxes in steel sliders.
When they ordered a bunch of new inventory, they were just throwing out the old ones. Gave a bunch of em to us for free. Ask around.

I'm in the process of getting rid of my drawer organizers. After several years I have decided they ****. I'm going with red akro-mills bins and plano clear covered organizers. I have a few 12'' long blue plastic ones I got for free when the local GM parts dept. remodeled too. No more opening 10 little drawers to find the right one.

I throw my extra screw, nuts and bolts in old coffee jars, baby jars or peanut butter jars

It's cheaper that way
Another idea along that line is to attach the lid of the jar with a screw to the underside of a shelf and label them, so they're at eye level and easy to get yet out of the way.

BMW,
Where did you buy that plastic tray . Very nice.

They're Lista-style boxes, but will fit in any drawers. They come in all different sizes, heights and colors.

This particular pict came from an eBay auction:

I have a couple of drawers full of them now in a cabinet I have dedicated to this type of stuff. I will probably get more as I need them.

The cool thing, at least on my Lista cabs, you can configure the layout however you want (big boxes in the back, small ones in the front, etc) and the boxes fit the space. But you can measure and see for yourself for other brands of drawers.

I paint big coffee cans.

Folgers now sells their stuff in red plastic jars with screw on lids. Peel the label off and put your own on.
