Choosing an organizer for screws and screws

Properly organized storage of tools is the key to successful and fast work. To organize the storage of fasteners and various small-sized consumables, it is convenient to use special organizer boxes.

The organizer is a box (case) with many sections for sorting fasteners of different calibers and purposes. This storage option is optimal for placing inside accessories for tools and various small items.

An organizer for screws, screws, nails and other things is a very functional item that serves for the following purposes:

• organization of fasteners according to individual characteristics with quick access as needed;
• elimination of loss of content, protection of it from destructive influences from the outside and damage;
• ease of transporting fasteners to the work site and storage during the period of non-use;
• maintaining order in the workshop, reducing the time to select the required part.

The modern construction market presents hundreds of models of roomy organizers for placing fasteners, which can be grouped according to the purpose, method of planning the interior space, parameters and design features.

Organizers differ in form factor.

• Compact portable box (box) with horizontal layout, but without carrying handles.

• Larger vertical drawer, assuming a desktop arrangement (stationary and with the option of rearrangement).

• Portable case. Improved modern box with integrated transport handle and lid locks. Cases are one- or two-sided with different compartments: unchangeable, with sliding partitions, removable trays. These cases are made with a back wall made of opaque plastic with a visible lid.

• Large portable box with a comfortable handle. The most elementary is a tray with compartments and a removable or hinged lid. This is the most capacious type of organizer that is often used to accommodate repair tools. In a deep box with a removable lid on top, either fixed or removable compartments are provided, and there can also be trays with compartments.

• Modular organizer for professional storage. Designed to be placed on special trolleys to create a common structure of several modules.

• Belt and waist bag with capacious compartments for storing screws and other fasteners. The pockets are made of dense, durable textile for a secure positioning of boxes with small fasteners.

Containers can be equipped with:

• stationary and variable compartments in the form of movable walls;
• removable or sliding sections like drawers and trays;
• combined interior design.

In the first version, the boxes have a wall at the back (to prevent the boxes from falling out), in the second it is located in the middle. By type, such boxes are both stationary and portable. The latter are transported by the handle, the compartments in them are distinguished by a special design that holds the trays in place during the transfer or tilt of the box. Also, such a storage system contributes to better access when searching for the desired fasteners.

The differences between themselves are the design of the organizer covers:

• completely removable;
• reclining, with plastic hinges;
• no cover - with vertical layout.

Difference in purpose:

• for sorting small items in the workshop, in the trunk of a car, etc. - standard plastic containers of compact dimensions;
• for sorting and carrying fasteners to the work site - cases (boxes) with handles, belt options, boxes from prefabricated systems;
• for numerous types of fasteners and all kinds of accessories stored at the workplace - large-sized vertical cases.

Repair parts boxes can vary in size from the smallest to the largest. The size range of this category of products is measured in inches. The most popular organizer sizes are from 7.5 to 24 inches.

In most cases, the box is made of a transparent material - polycarbonate or opaque plastic. Inside, the space is divided into equal or different compartments. On top there is a tightly closing lid with locks or latches, which prevents the contents from spilling or re-sorting, protects the parts from the negative influence of the external environment.

When choosing an organizer box, you should decide for what purposes it will be used, what is supposed to be stored there, in what conditions it will be used.

This design is very popular among hand-made craftsmen to store decorative items, sewing accessories and other handicraft items. They are also used with pleasure by radio amateurs and just home craftsmen who need something compact to keep their desktop in order.

The most versatile cases of all kinds and parameters are suitable for both home craftsmen and specialists in various fields. In everyday life, cases are suitable for standard design, approximately 14-16 inches in size, equipped with a small number of compartments. Oversized cases with many compartments are more suitable for professionals.

If you need to store a wide variety of mounting positions and other accessories in small quantities, a practical solution would be to purchase a double-sided practical case with a series of small compartments. In principle, in this case, it makes sense to use boxes with many compartments.

Often, professional craftsmen have such situations when the fastening set is periodically changed, transporting some small tool or accessories to the place of work. A suitable solution in this situation would be an organizer with removable compartments with movable walls and mobile trays. Thus, it is possible to divide the space of the box into the required number of compartments of certain sizes, changing the configuration depending on the purpose.

When, in addition to fasteners, it is necessary to store or carry a tool, you should pay attention to large box-boxes. In general, they are endowed with the same functionality as the cases, but need more space. These boxes are interesting for both professionals and amateurs.

When used at home, this is often the best solution - all the necessary accessories will be in one place.

The organization of fasteners and the distribution of all sorts of accessories on site is facilitated by systems with a vertical layout, with drawers of a pull-out type.In such a practical case, you can place a lot of little things, if necessary, having free access to them. This solution is the best option for professional applications. And portable organizers will allow you to carry a mini-workshop with you for performing a number of different works.

For work at height (ladder, attic), it is necessary that all accessories are at hand. An alternative to the belt can be a plastic or textile holder for a box with screws. It is attached to a standard belt. It does not restrict movement and saves time when searching for the desired part.
