Roll-up hardware organizer

[scottb]

A buddy of mine has a hard plastic roll-up organizer that he uses to keep washers, nuts, screws, etc. organized. He keeps it in his truck so he has an organized assortment of hardware when he's working away from his shop. Unfortunately, he doesn't remember where he got the organizer. Does anyone have something similar or know where I can find one?

Thanks!

Just a thought: a lot of plastic products have a manufacturer's name, product number etc molded into them somewhere. Did you check the underside?

Also, maybe someone could ID it from a pic.

We looked for identifying info. It is as generic as they come!

I would get one stitched up out of strong canvas - outdoor gear repair people (call a local REI store) or any tent or awning maker can do a great job.

you custom design it exactly how you want and it'll be lots nicer and easier to roll up than the crummy plastic ones

ps - some Toyotas have or had these - I have one kicking around the garage right now - it's big and can take a jack, etc.

maybe see if a junk yard has them

In the old (drawing board) days we used to use a product called the Tabouret for organizing drawing and drafting equipment. They were plastic and on casters. We got them @ art supply houses.

I would also try stores that sell storage and organizer items, maybe even kitchen and restaurant supplies. And don't forget IKEA.

I've also seen plastic rolling drawer cabinets @ Home Depot. I use some for filing current jobs in my office.

Costco used to have one on the shelf in store, but I can't find it online.

i once posted a pic of a red one in a tools thread - it is not custom made but was a wrench organizer or some such. One of the few things worth the $$ from Griots - not sure they have it anymore.

Try search on tool
or look at Griots web site

Just build one. Scrap lumber and some old casters I had laying around, Harbor freight for the bins, 9 bins to a drawer, 10 drawers, a shallow tray to dump the bin so you can find what you need, with a cutout to scrape the contents of the tray back into the bin. Your needs may vary, but this works pretty well for me.

I know exactly what your talkin about. My grandmother has a bunch of them for sewing stuff. Its like solid plastic and it interlocks with itself. I cant remember what the name is

drAGO - DO A SEARCH ON TOOL ROLLUP

think that may be what these things are called - BTW - they can be had cheaper than at Griots - like everything else...

don't ignore places like Cabelas and Bass Pro Shop.
I use interlocking tackle boxes for small stuff in my track pack.
With movable partitions and varied bin width, you can configure at-will.
Also, you can get some pretty-nice multi-pocketed tackle bags that are designed to hold the boxes, and the bags are soft-sided, packable-friendly to P-cars. Bill K

My wife and sweetie-pie uses this thing...



...which she bought in an art-supply store for her paints and brushes. I'm thinkin' that it would work pretty well out in the garage. But that's just me.
