Good idea. Its nice admiring your collection through clear containers

That's a pretty sweet setup. I need bigger buckets, myself.

Those DINO bags or Totes or whatever they're called are an interesting idea. Those ones look like a manageable size.
The ones I've seen at my friends' farm are approximately 4' square by about 5' or so tall. They get distillers grain in them.
Come to think of it, I've seen some smaller ones along the road when the hydro crews are replacing hydro poles filled with aggregate.
Might just have to stop and ask about them next time I see a crew out replacing poles.

The one on the left full of cans is 3'x3'wide x4'tall. I can't lift it without a forklift if I put anything other than alum cans in it. The smaller ones are perfect. 2'x2'x2'. Full of motherboards it's about 150lbs.
I get them from work. they come full of small rebar loops, dobies and tiewire. The large ones are full of sand. I do Bridge construction, There is no deposit for us to send them back. So ask if you see a jobsite with some. I know I would let you have it if you asked me at work.

love the idea with the microwave magnet to hold on the bits totally awesome idea ...hope you don't mind but I am going to steal that idea lol

I like the bag idea also. We have quite a pile of them at the farm. I have overlooked them in my haste to find containers with solid sides. We have several put into use soon. Thanks for the tip!

They make great screw holders too, just drop em in that direction and it grabs all the ferrous ones

Thats exactly what I use them for. Works great and keeps from having screws bounce all over the place.

Nice idea Parker. Bridge work going on, on one of the bridges into the sandbar, I get the chance I'ma ask the guys there if they don't reuse them for anything.

Sirscrapalot - always needs containers.
