- Stack-on Model # CB-12 -- Clear-View 12-Bin Organizer
- Brand: Stack-on | Category: Other

Looking for someplace out of the way to store all your screws/small hardware? Want to keep the dust out?
Well, here is a great solution. They are made by a company called Stack-On.
Here you will find their website.
They come with 12 compartments with a lid that protects the contents keeping the dust out. The lids
slide back in a little to keep them open as you can see in the second picture. They can also snap shut when
closed.
They can either stand alone or be hung on the wall. I attached two strips of wood to the wall to make
sure I hit studs, and then hung them on that. Gets them off my valuable table space.
I have applied blue tape to mark the contents. I did that because until I get it organized the way I want
it I can still move the labels around. Once I get everything the way I like it I will print up some nice labels.
I just set things on top that are either overflow or have their own packaging.
.
If you are interested you can see in the bottom of the pictures a sampling of my routers, Jet mini lathe (only
used once), miter trimmer, my sandpaper holder and Leigh jog.

Those look real handy.
And I was going to ask about the sign even if you had not mentioned it. :-)

These look pretty neat and the covers will keep the sawdust from polluting your bins.
The sign though might be offensive to some. I dunno. Martin might have to “whack” ya for that! Been nice knowing ya! LOL!

Nice bins Gary…...I especially like the sigh above them. I need 1 of those for a friend that has a real problem letting them fly.

Let’s get those tools organized next…just kidding…looks pretty good from here. I’ve been using dog food plastic containers. They take up a lot of room…LOL. Don’t know where I’d put anything else though. Don’t let my wife see the sign. she will put them up all over the house.

Well, there are 5 units in the pictures.
Each unit has 12 sections/bins.
Each unit cost was $9.95.
Total cost for what you see in the picture was $49.75.

Nice bins, Gary.
About the sign, though. If not in the shop, then where?
Here’s an unfortunate fact of life for you younger Jocks to contemplate. Prepare yourselves for the wailing and gnashing of teeth. There is a direct correlation between age and frequency of flatus. Diet and medication can only go so far in ameliorating this circumstance. Just ask Bob if you feel that I have reached this conclusion in error.

Gary this is a nice review. That is a handy storage system that you have put together. It sure beats simply tossing them into a drawer and trying to find what you need.

Great review. I always need help organizing, freeing valuable bench space, and keeping the dust off. Thanks.

Them look like they will do the trick, I have the old yellow ones, but I hate the way they are always getting full of dust or I end up throwing all kinds of thing in them just because their there and easy to dump stuff in so maybe having the lids on the bins will stop both of them problems I will check them out. Thanks Gary.

those look nice. I think they would be good in a small shop like mine as i could hang them up and they would stay out of my way taking up no valuable floor space. thanks for the review.

They look like a good buy. I like the covers, but I don’t have much wall space.

Thats a heck of allot of storage for 50 bucks. If I had the wall space I would buy these. And about the sign…if you can’t bust out a little thunder from down under in the shop then where can you for god sake?

Thanks for the great idea Gary. I’m still finishing the inside of my shop (took a break to remodel our home office) and as I go, I keep looking for the best solution for storing all the small hardware. Right now I’m using plastic boxes with lids and dividers (kind of like the plastic tackle boxes). Those work great when I need to tote things back and forth to the house for projects, but I’m just not in love with those.
