Thread: Small Parts storage bins

I saw some the other day either in "The Warehouse" or "Supercheap Autos"

fischer plastics do a good range of tilt bin type storage drawers. made in aust.
They are good & solid but ain't dirt cheap. aren't real dear either.
Speak to a commercial storage supplier. If you have dificulty post me a message, I know where I can lay my hands on them.
cheers

but my question is, does anyone know where in Oz I might find a supplier for small tilt style storage bins. (I wanted the tilt style to minimise the dust collection) They are for screws etc so they dont really need to be too big.

alternatively I have found something that I like at Rockler.com here but I am unsure of the issues with purchasing from the US. anyone had experience with them, any tips??

cheers

Don't know mate.........but if you want to make one up yourself I new of a bloke who came accross a dozen or so muffin trays.......good for small parts......he just built a small wall hung cabinet to hold all the trays on rails so each tray was removeable.....and he said it was good because each muffin hole was shallow so he could easily get the small pieces out.....if you get my drift......and on front of cabinet he just had a door to keep dust out.........

might help ??? probably not.....sounds like you've got your heart set on those plastic things.......good luck.

I also had a similar issue with saw dust and other matter getting into screws and nails and I found these storage bins made by Stanley at Bunnies. The draws have dividers that can be set to different sizes and the top draws are shallower than the deeper bottom draws. The draws have a yellow clip at the top that locks the draw shut so nothing gets into them. They also have the added advantage of being wall mounted and can be taken off the wall and have a carry strap at the top to take them to the job site if required.

My experience and I have had these for around a year is they work.

From memory, they were around $30.00 each and were in the tool box section of my local bunnies.

Hope this helps.

The Fischer ones are available at bunnings: the tilt bin ones are called VisiPak: http://www.fischerplastics.com.au/Pr...s/VisiPak.html

They should be easy to find as they keep them in bunnings next to the bright blue and yellow storage boxes also made by Fischer.

These we actually in the supercheap autos cattledog at 15% off. Not sure of the price though.

hey thanks all for your help,

I will definitely be off on an expodition this weekend, first stop Super cheap, escond stop Bunnies.(Will check out the toolbox section, while I'm there may as well stop in the tool section and of course I will have to go and grab a bag of screws as I need some to christen the new containers )

will report back later on the results of the hunt.

thanks again all.

I have seen limited fischer product in kmart & bigw from time to time.
cheers
