Advice please. Parts storage containers.

I can't stand those vertical metal units that have individual plastic pull out bins. Looking for economically priced flat boxes with a lid and dividers inside. Parts consist of fuses, connectors and the like.

Any suggestions or links or BTDT stories? We have what is called "The Container Store" in town but they think they are gold plated, 15-20 bucks each for a 2x12x18 box.

You can find stuff like this all day long at Lowe's, Home Depot, Great Northern, Porter Cable, Harbor Freight, Walmart, Sears, K-mart, etc. Or Amazon.

Scroll down and look at the "Frequently Bought Together" and "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" sections. Click the > arrow to the right of the "Customers Who Bought This Item Also Bought" section.

Thanks, I had to use the right search string to get what I wanted. Using bead/jewelry storage.

I like the Plano brand. They come in multiple configurations and are made in America too. I always keep a bunch on hand so I'm not tempted to combine different items in the same container.

Harbor Freight, $160 new. Beats the used crap on CL.

They have these at Home Depot and I have plans to but a couple to sort my nail/screw collection. I have one of those clear plastic ones in the OP and the little dividers can't hold up to the weight of the hardware I'm trying to store.

I should add that the above yellow carrier with the removable bins is typically used by road crews.
