Yes, but I plan on a section of wall with those little tip- out bins, then get stuff sorted. I use milk crates for electrical parts. Being of an age where the WWII generation was a big influence, it is normal to have this. Repair, reuse, repurpose, or, if it is not sevicable, strip the usable parts, then throw it in the pile "over there". A WWII vet chastised me once: "we couldn't get nails when I was your age, and if we could, we couldn't afford them!" I had left 2 nails in the dirt, sheeting a barn. Funny how those things stick with you.

Gotta save the useful stuff even if you don't have a use for it. I've been known to pull a few nails and save them...

I have several metal paint cans loaded with bent nails, screws and bolts I've pulled over the years. I currently have a plastic washtub with maybe 7 pounds of fasteners I've pulled on my reframing project over the past week. They're potentially tainted with some fallout from my bat shit encounter, so uncertain what their fate will be...

Sometimes it feels like the best option is melting it all down and forging a battle-axe.

I actually have a special little case where they are all neatly categorized.
Before, I used to have a big magnet and all of them stuck to it, and just chucled it in the toolbag like that. Honestly that was the most efficient option.

Needs to be tossed in a coffee can with some fence staples and other hidden dangers!

You only have one?
I have mine I've had forever, the one that came with the house, the one that my friend left because he "probably had the thing I needed."
There's probably another couple I'm forgetting.

I have a few, but my house didn't come with one... Disappointed.

I think that I do. I'll have to dig around in my storage building that is packed with miscellaneous junk and see if I can find it...

I replaced my coffee cans with clear plastic containers. It's easier to see what's in them and I get the added satisfaction of knowing I used more plastic. Added bonus for annoying leftist retards.

I dunno. I prefer the mystery of the can.

Definitely. Adds to the mystique of the spare fastener can lottery. Can you find a piece of hardware that will fulfill your immediate need? Only the hardware deities know until you pour them out and search through them.

Come to think of it, perhaps a magic 8 ball belongs with the cans.

Yep, also a old jar with various drill bits that I have at some point lost the proper container for and don't have anywhere else to put them.
Another coffee can with all of the various (usually the same) hex wrenches and tiny screw drivers that are included in the packaging of any flat-pack furniture you order and have to assemble yourself.

Haha, a full can of whatever size that hex is.

I have a bunch of little drawers that were once sorted, now they mostly have a mishmash of screws nuts and bolts.

Reminds me that last time I was working on the truck baby girl helped by organizing my sockets... That'll take some time to fix.
