Catch the after Christmas sales and buy a bunch of 30 gallon plastic tubs
with lids. Make up labels that read "Christmas Decorations" and load the
parts in the tubs, snap the lids on them, and stack them neatly in the
garage. Number the tubs, and write up an inventory of parts in each tub, so

Thanks guys for all the suggestions. Next year I'll ask about where to hide
all the extra car parts (especially the unattractive used ones) so the lady
of the house doesn't see them.
Have a nice Christmas.

Another thing you can do for Allens is buy a couple of magnet strips and
put the metric on one and the SAE on the other, lined up according to

haha no but I have stacks of those plastic rice box cubes with the big
lids, those things are great for all kinds of stuff. Trouble is I can't

Don’t tell me you have racks of baby food jars with the lids attached to a
piece of wood, do you?
If any of you recall Jay, the retired phone company guy who lived in

kid you not, damned near everything in that place
I have a similar arrangement for “paddle” or spade type wood bits in one drawer
of my tool box. It holds them all and “lays down” so I can close the drawer. I
just cut the 2x4 to the width of the drawer and put a screw in from each side
to hold it in place and act as a pivot. It does take a lot

Taps and dies, the box the 40pc set came in, with very few loose ones of
other sizes in ziploc bags in the same drawer of the toolbox.

in the edge of a 2x4, then rip the 2x4 in half to make two trays of
taps. The dies

I have some cheap sets whose cutters get replaced with decent ones if
they get used. Alternatively, I bet there are STLs for 3D printing for
storage, if you have a friend close by with a 3D printer. I have one for a
set of collets I made.

I have a good assortment of taps, handles and a few dies, along with an
unknown number of duplicates, mostly SAE. However, they are just lying in a
drawer. When I need one, I have to search through the collection. Is there a
system for organizing the taps similar to a drill index which allows the
