I have a few of the Dewalt organizers and one Milwaukee, I have a couple of the Husky (keter style) that I really like and a Keter that  I picked up on sale a Lowes a while back, love these organizers. My wife even picked up couple of cheaper ones at The Container Store for our sons Legos.

Cool,I have some Plano ones too.  I probably have a few i could free up as well. one i use for electrical connectors and such.

 

For home electrical I use a fishing tackle box. Tons of storage compartments and then a big open bay at the bottom to throw wire strippers and other misc large items.

Nice selection brother. I need to get a labeler so I can do that with mine.

My wife makes the labels on the computer, really cool. You buy the label printer paper and off you go... 

Thats a great idea,I think I actually have a bunch of those. Thanks for the idea.

...and a hell of a lot cheaper than the replacement label tape on label makers I'm sure. Those freaking label makers are just outright scams, they sell the label maker for $10 with a small roll of tape. The maker uses 2 times or more the tape it needs when printing the label and the replacement tapes are twice the cost of the printer.

My wife just told me you buy some label paper at Staples or Target and it has the Microsoft word program with it that you use on your computer, she loves this thing, she actually turned me on to it...

I think open office and such can do it too.

You get no fancy backgrounds for this, just simple snaps. I have 3 Stanley organizers with all kinds of random crap in them, and a couple of Plano boxes. The smaller box holds screws, anchors, drywall screws, etc., and the larger one hold electrical stuff like wire nuts and whatnot.

The only thing worthwhile is the Plano boxes, those Stanley organizers are nice but it's too easy to jumble stuff up. I've got so much mix of gobbledygook in those that it's not even funny.

I keep most of my hardware in the Milwaukee organizers. Just wishing I would have bought more when they were $19. $24 isn't a deal breaker but I'll save 5 bucks whenever I can!

That is what black Fridays are for. I am sure someone will have some for sale in November.

 

Now Lowe's and Home Depot have spring ones, seemingly on different weekends.

 

The price is pretty good while the sale is on, but if some are left over after the sale and they are still in the store a month later, that is when the bargains happen.:D :D :D :D :D
