<font color="blue">( And nuts, washers, and staples? And if you're like me, every time I need one, I find that I have every size imaginable except the size I need today.</font>
Bird,
I'm the same way, except I find I already have them and didn't know it. I've compbined as many as three different packages of the same sized screw into one. I had two boxes of 5/16 washers. Three unopened packages of 1/4 washers, plus a box!!!!! All the duplicates I found were just amazing.
When I start a project, I just buy a box of what I need, then put them on a shelf with all the others. It seems the only time I really went through the pile was on repair projects, or spur of the moment ones.
For bolts, I organize them into small, med and large, then go through them when I need them. Same with nuts, washers and lock washers. Bins would be allot better, but so far I'm avoiding getting too orgainized. /forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif
Staples are with the staplers on the shelf. Same with nailers. Their nails are next to those guns.
Holzter,
Instead of tools for Christmas, I ask for blades!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
