I am amazed at what the systainer can hold!!!

Now run round the block carrying it [wink] [big grin]

I love the Damn things... keeps everything organised so much better.

Those sortainers are cool, but expensive.  I actually like your old way.  You can see everything.

Great when the job can go to the screws, but less ideal when the screws need to go to the job [wink]

It does look great, but how much does each systainer weigh now?

very heavy
That's why I don't use them anymore for on site work

RockettMan,  Welcome to the forum!  [smile]

  What's nice is that the drawers are removable so you can still take just the one you need to a work bench or where ever.

  Your jar rack is one of the nicest looking I have seen though. Do you have a secondary use for that now?

Yeah, sort of. I used the opaque jelly jars instead of the fully clear ones. Mistake!

Hey, that was hard!

It is heavy, but they stay put pretty much. The jars never went anywhere either.

Thanks Seth!
No, unfortunately I don't have a second use. This garage was originally intended for my vintage British motorcycles. When I moved my custom drum shop to this location, the bikes went up to the house garage and this became the drum shop. Jars of bolts really aren't needed in the same way anymore. Everything is more purposeful now. The Systainers are just awesome and I love working with them. Different headspace than the jars.

I'll miss my little set up, but onward and upward!

Yea, but does one need them ALL at the jobsite?

It's certainly more compact using the systainer vs the jars but for these types of things I'm leaning towards smaller screw boxes with clear lids. Been using fishing tackle boxes had on the cheap until I find that elusive perfect box for me.

Who knows??? My shop is the job site, so it doesn't matter!

Yes indeed, in the end all that matters is you found a good solution for your needs
