If you're alive you have extra pieces of hardware around your
home. And the older you get, the more you accumulate. You assemble something and
find yourself with leftover parts. You buy hardware to hang curtain rods and you
have some extra hardware. You use push-in hooks or screw-in hooks to hang something in
your home. You take it down. You stash the hardware. You buy the wrong hardware
for the job. And then you buy some more. You trash something--but you keep some
of its hardware in case you need it for other repairs. See how easy it is to end
up with extra screws, nuts, bolts, hooks, nails and more in your home. Soon you
have a coffee can full of hardware. Make it easier on yourself to find the
right hardware for the job you're doing by separating and organizing these items
now.
♦One of the best sorters for the job is simply the ordinary
see-through plastic compartmentalized box. You don't have to label anything
because you can see everything right through the box. And you can carry these
compartment boxes with you to the job so you don't have to walk back and forth
to get another tack or hook if the first one doesn't work for the job. Stacks
and Stacks sells the
Hardware Compartment Box
 with 6, 12, 18 and 24 compartments. These particular
ones have sliding lids too. Buy as many as you need and keep them in a stack on
a shelf in your garage near your tools.
