Tech Tip X: One of the best storage boxes, that I have seen.

imageYou know parts boxes are ubiquitous! If it has a top, well it is blow molded and opaque which means you can't see the stuff in the box, or you cant store odd stuff, just maybe a 3x3 cube thing like the SplashNcolor Milwaukee Packout which is very good but not what I want. 

imageThen I found 12 in. 9-Compartment Waterproof Storage Bin Small Parts Organizer. It is clear and very flexible. 

and the price is not bad either. $12.98 vs $26.99

Winner, Winner, Chicken Dinner!!!

So here are two of mine in use.

    imageSame problem.  Currently, you can't even see the top of my workbench. Do you have any suggestions??.  My Desk comes in a close second. But at least I can still get to the keyboard.

    I have been reusing all of the restaurant take home boxes.

    I keep the ones with clear lids and they make great storage boxes.

    imageYeah, this was my field box for network and telco stuff.  And for those with questions here is a new one. Assortimentsdoos 2-zijdig I never really liked it.

    the covers never fit tight so parts would wander.

    Looks nice a little pricey at almost 40 dollars. And you still have the same problem with opaque boxes inside.  Not on my list. Rolling eyes
