Storage idea for these

[Buford T. Justice]

Anyone ever use these for storage? Looking for clever mounting to wall ideas etc:

I keep coffee in Mine!

seriously, I have a few under the workbench for misc small items, keep 4 of them In a milk crate, 4 on bottom, 4 on top.

I've used coffee cans for years & still have a bunch of them that are steel.

Never did anything fancy to store them, just had them on a shelf. Small ones on top of the larger ones to save space & keep them balanced better. I am getting away from using them because I have so much junk & I like to know what storage can I am after with just a glance. Some of the steel ones I have are ones my Dad used & are probably almost as old as I am.

I like the milk crate idea.

I put them on a shelf...so nothing fancy here either.

My only gripe with those is I can't see what's inside them. I really like the cheap clear shoe box containers you can get for a buck damn near anywhere. Makes it easy to see what I've shoved into em

I built a shelf to keep mine on. Right up under the cabinets to avoid wasting space.

I use them, too. My favorite coffee. I like the handles on them. Plus they hold a lot.

I use them all the time also. I label them with a black felt marker. I use them for small parts washers also. I have them labeled with Simple Green, Metal Ready, H2O, Carb Cleaner, etc...
They work great for cleaning out paint brushes also...

^^ this, or close to it. I have a yucky vinegar concoction in one that I use to de-rust even yuckier stuff.

dude, you're drinking the wrong coffee.

 

[MrSnicks]

I use them for bolt/nut storage for my "extra parts" storage. I also use them for small items to soak in Simple Green for cleaning or Evap-o-rust for derusting. Haven't mounted any anywhere before though.

If they are not too heavy, you can attach the lid to the bottom of a shelf or table with screws, and then just screw the main body onto it.

 

[MrSnicks]

The lids snap on, instead of screw on. Don't know if that would work.
