Toolbox drawer dividers?

[PeterN]

Anyone found any good toolbox drawer dividers for a standard toolbox? I'm looking to divide a few cabinet drawers to store nuts, bolts, washers, etc. Something adjustable would be great. I'm familiar with the type used in Lista type cabinets but was wondering what works well in a smaller drawer size.

I don't know if I'd go drawer dividers. This is much easier, and portable for when you need to move them.

I have most of my consumables stored this way...screwdriver bits, drill bits, recip blades, jig saw blades, ect.

The best way I've found is to make your
Own. I've made some from aluminum
Strips. And have cut oil jugs and used
The bottoms

Boss uses old pickle jars.
I use tackle boxes from plano without the z rust stuff because it costs way too much. Just order silica packets and out them everywhere.

I recommend tackle boxes because they are transportable.

I've made some in the past using the free paint sticks from Home Depot...

The best ever is old IBM punch card files. All ball bearing and built to carry a ton.

Second best is old library Dewey Decimal files.

Third, I watch craigslist for old hardware drawers. I picked a four-drawer stack full of snap rings, key stock, electrical connectors for cheap.

Lots of good ideas here and here.

Personally, I've got these bent, spring metal clips, which rest against the side of the drawer. A piece of steel is placed between them and the tension of the bent steel holds the divider in place. I want to replicate a few of them if I cannot find a suitable supply.

Also, I've got a shallow drawer in one of my boxes I sues as a pedestal/base that I've cut the bottoms from plastic bottles (orange juice and peroxide bottles) to separate the contents of that drawer.

That's a Kennedy system. They'll sell you all you want.

I like shallow resealable food containers. The things you get 3 for $1.50 or so. Great for leftovers, but even better for holding specialized items in tool box drawers like spark plug sockets and feeler gauges, tapes, specialized sockets/bits, extensions or adapters, etc. I always have some empties ready to go and it makes reorganizing really easy since you can remove them. Keep the lids around under them and you can seal them to transport if need be.

I use the rubber maid instant drawer organizers, I get them at 2nd hand stores and yard sales. Or you could buy them new a places like wallmart, but they are a little spendy.
