Storage for bolts, nuts, screws, fittings PLEASE

[dann2707]

Hiya all,

Hope yall well.

I'm looking for a decent storage solution for nuts and bolts and screws and fittings and etc.

I have seen them before that holt to the wall with little plastic drawers that slide out. I'm wondering what makes are good, what are cheap and nasty etc. I have a decent sized wall that they can mount to.

Any suggestions /pictures etc very welcome!

That reminds me of working on cars with my dad from a young age and he'd ask me to go grab a 13mm socket. I'd take 30 years to find it so I'd come back with as many as I could carry and then he'd beat me

 

[dann2707]

Something like this would be absolutely perfect. Can't find any though with what that guy has called them?

Not what your after but I’ve got a few Stanley fatmax organisers, saves running back and too, to the garage when you pick up the wrong size bolt.

 

[OEM Battery Nonce]

How many bolts you got?

I have a mix of Stanley fatmax and raaco boxes. They're both decent.

I also have a couple of these that are decent for the money Clicky

Or get a s**t load of the open bins but they'll get covered in dust.

 

[Jamie86]

As above Stanley fatmax boxes. Bought a load when they had a deal in screwfix or somewhere for about a tenner each.

 

[JamesBryan]

Obviously @dann2707 isn't going to buy Stanley, he's a red man!

Milwaukee all the way.

 

[dann2707]

If only they did electric ones with m12 batteries that slid out the drawers for you. I'd bring it

Milwaukee all the way.

Whilst the pack out ones are very nice the clip system they use leads to a load of unused space which is annoying.

But but but it's Milwaukee 🥹

I use Tactix cases from Wickes. Nice and strong and also portable so I can take some to race weekends.
Have loads, some with bolts, some with electrical connectors, rivets/revnuts etc etc.

My girlfriend bought me one of these 7-8 years ago, at first I thought Mac Allister.. that's going to be crap.. But it's actually pretty decent quality, sturdy and portable. I have a Racco handybox, and Stanley organisers etc. but the Mac Allister is where I keep my frequently used nuts and bolts.

Spent the best part of this week looking at these. Stressing myself out as I want something that will last me, I've seen mixed reviews of the raaco stuff and we even have one at work I discovered... Quality didn't look brilliant.

Man mathsed it and now £150 lighter but gone for one of each of these.

108 boxes in total which is a lovely amount, means I can really organise everything now. Comes with labels and dividers too which is even better.

The thing that sold it to be on these is that their target market are companies not home and DIY people.

 

[Krarl]

I've got something similar to that

I think at some stage I'll upgrade to having wall racking and bins though. They're spot in for small nuts, bolts, washers etc but need something a bit bigger for the big stuff

You basically just keep adding them, screwing them to the wall and then I have one of these that you can slot the container into when you want to transport some for a job. And you get different colours, so can distinguish between screws, bolts etc. I.e. use blue for bolts in increasing size order and red for screws, again put on the wall in increasing size order. If that makes sense..

Do you use those for your £10's £20's and £50's?

They’re available from:

HTH. 🤣

Roses or quality street tins are the best

 

[Brigsy]

Roses tins. I also have a drawer in the garage with an old kitchen cutlery divider fitted which is brimmed with allsorts of fasteners, it weighs a ton im expecting the drawer to break one day and make a right fu king mess.

 

[DaveL485]

I keep used stuff by size in old mayonnaise tubs she nicked from the Morrisons sandwich bar

New stuff is all super organised though in various divided tray things. I find it pleasing to do that.

 

[ilovewilly]

Modern Raaco stuff may be questionable quality but I have some old stuff which is good. Draws are thick plastic and the metal frame is strong.

Package 1 of 2 has arrived.

Very impressed with the quality.
