It ought to be useful, but never is quite what you need? It came with the house?

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...
