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 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 was gonna get on a high horse and say you can't have a plastic can. Then I realized we can in jars and now I don't know if I know anything.

Yes just like my dad and grandfather

Of course. Every man worth his salt has this. If you don't you are a faggot. You probably wear crocks, suck cock and have blue hair.
I once new a guy who's Dad called him and said, Son bring the trailer, I am gonna get a few things from the old lady up the road, her husband died and she is cleaning out the shop. 5 trailer loads, about 4000lbs a trailer, they just kept loading shit. Buckets and buckets of bolts, screws, nails, washers, fasteners, welding supplies, tools, all kinds of shit. This conversation happened as I saw in his attic a shit load of coffe cans with nuts and screws in them, to which I said, if you are gonna throw those away, I will take them....so here comes the story.
He said his old man was so fucking cheap, as kids, they had to pull nails out of the lumber he got for free in his remodel business, then hammer them straight and put them in a coffee can. He said his dad was so fucking cheap, he'd pickup old dead TV's on the side of the road, and then take them home. Spend 2 days taking them apart....just for the fucking nuts and bolts in them. But the old man had a fuck ton of bolts and screws.
I still have a metal 4 drawer cabinet (about the size of a suitcase) that has nuts and bolts that my dad had. I can remember that shitty metal thing making the metal on metal sliding noise when I'd look for a screw....I think of Dad everytime I open it.

I don't know if lack of a can makes a man gay... But it's definitely a red flag.

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.

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.
