Storing Small Parts and Hardware - Plastic Jars or Parts Bins

[David Herbert]

The only issue with the type of storage that you show in your photo above is that over a period of time a huge amount of dirt gets into them unless they are inside a really clean room / cupboard. In the UK this attracts damp and nice new zinc plated bolts start to deteriorate. This is depressing. I have taken to using plastic storage boxes with snap on lids that are sold for storing food. They need shelves to sit on but are robust, you can see into them and they are available in useful sizes.
