AdeV:
We all know the problem, I'm sure. You've got a few dozen [insert name of thingybob here], and nowhere to put them... and those fancy racks are so expensive...

Well, not all of them. A few months back, I bought a couple of these, for just under 15 quid + the inevitable Eurotax (VAT) (click the image to go to Farnell's website, where I found them)



Basically, a 44-drawer wall-mounting (or free-standing, if you want to take the risk) unit. I have electronic components in mine at the moment, but they'll easily hold end mills, lathe tools, or small bits of metal. Each (small) drawer is about 5.25" long, 2" wide & 1.25" deep internally. If you buy the dividers (link on the product page), you can subdivide each draw into strangely irregular sizes (up to 4 compartments per drawer - small drawers only).

I plan to buy a couple more in the near future for some of my milling tools (which are starting to spread out like spilt milk), any unused drawers can hold nuts/bolts... so if anyone local to me fancies saving a couple of quid, we can probably get the price down to the 5+ level quite easily.

Ade,

I am a little reluctant to tell you what was in the big box Bluechip sent over for me last Saturday with Rob, while you were here.

Two brand new ones of those you have shown, but mine were a lot better value, freebies. :lol: :lol: :lol:

Sorry about that.
