@Grumpy_Mike
Are those the plastic drawers Maplin used to sell?
Not sure, they were at where he worked at the time, not his or mine.
I used to buy them one at a time with pocket money when I could afford them. Don't know what happened to them.
They are in a drawer somewhere ![]()
Ever bought a box? They normally come in a box.
What do they put the box in?
If it comes from Amazon, another box
With size 1.5m*0.6m*0.5m.
Same here (Canada), they started out at $0.99 each; before they vanished, they were $3.99 each.
These were called Add-a-Drawer.
Mine look similar to Mike’s.
2 versions.
I've got organisation envy!
Or in my case this would be dis-organiser envy. Resistors far left, nuts & bolts far right. Other stuff in the middle two.
And Proxxon envy too!
I bought 4 of these for $4 ea in 2012. They're portable and hold a range of components. The rest is in boxes and bins that need only 2 storage totes to hold.
I pick up a couple of these mini versions (5"x7"x1") of the one posted by @GoForSmoke at Dollar Tree whenever I go. I really like the size.
Hi,
I bought a collection of these for my resistors, they are just wide enough and clip together, I keep them in a larger plastic box on my shelves.
I also have a readily accessible drawer with 4K7 and 10K resistors, for obvious reasons.

Resist ohms! Use microSiemens!
We should be measuring in "Futiles".
Cos Resistance is Futile.
