Copper fitting Storage

[mirekone]

Hi
I'm trying to find a tidy and mobile storage system to carry my copper fittings. My pet hate is mess and the sight of copper fittings mixed up in a bucket, drives me bonkers. I prefer a grid system in a bag if this exists?
Any suggections? I've been on the net but can't seem to find anything suitable.
Cheers

Stanley do boxes that have boxes inside

It's about the size of a suitcase and is perfect. It's what I used when I was an installer

You will need atleast 2. One for 15 one for 22

I use stanley boxes, 6 in total. 15 end feed, 22 end feed, compression, valves. screws and pipe clips. Not the cheapest on the market but robust and work well. I've had mine for almost 6 years now.

I'm cheap and use the Wickes own brand version of the Stanley boxes one for 28, 22, 15 and one for misc odds and sods pluss a couple of the smaller ones for oil line fittings and other sundries.

Im pretty basic. I have fittings every where.
All over the van
In every tool box and drill boxs
In all jackets and trousers
In bedroom, kitchen and shed
And to top it off, Ive even been known to put them in the washing machine !!
hope this helps

Just 2 of these this morning from tool station, very sturdy.

Swap the stars for tool station all in one word.

I use Stanley Junior Sortmaster. The boxes inside have removable dividers to create your own size of boxes, but the big bonus is that each case snaps together with clips onto the next case and you can carry 3 cases joined together at a time full of fittings or screws etc onto the job. I've racked out the top shelf of my van with them.

i use lin bins in the van but they are a waste of storage space as they are bulky but i can get a lot in them i would post photos up but the vans a tip at the mo have to wait until i clean it LOL

 

[REDSAW]

i use the stanley or the wickes ones for £6 each.

Obviously a new start :smile:

I have the van all racked out with 28 separate compartments *not enough as some fittings double up) and when i go into a job i have a look and put the fittings i think i'll need in a bucket (if it is an install it is a bag of this and that). When i'm done i put them back where they go in the van.

Much easier to carry and holds a lot more fittings than some stanley box but whatever floats your boat.

I have a Stanley box but they don't withstand much chucking about. I will get a steel parts box next.

In the workshop, I use lin bins on a wall rack to keep my copper fittings.
