treesner Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Does anyone sell the little removable bins like sortimo uses? Wondering if I could just put them on planno boxes? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
G Ragatz Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Is this the type of thing you're looking for? https://www.grainger.com/product/BOSCH-Red-Yellow-Blue-Gray-Storage-46U406 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wdwerker Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 I think the Bosch Boxx is the same as the Sortimo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RileyD Posted December 18, 2018 Report Share Posted December 18, 2018 Harbor Freight sells a bunch of storage boxes with removable bins https://www.harborfreight.com/19-bin-portable-parts-storage-case-93928.html https://www.harborfreight.com/15-bin-portable-parts-storage-case-93929.html https://www.harborfreight.com/8-bin-portable-parts-storage-case-93927.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treesner Posted December 19, 2018 Author Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 These lee valley ones look nicer than the sortimo because you have the option of a thin case and a deep case http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/page.aspx?cat=1,43326&p=70869 they sell the bins separate which is what I was originally looking for http://www.leevalley.com/us/wood/page.aspx?p=70893&cat=1,43326,68736 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bankstick Posted December 19, 2018 Report Share Posted December 19, 2018 I have bought HF storage bins, this is what I use for fishing tackle. https://www.harborfreight.com/24-compartment-large-storage-container-61881.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look at the description, he may give more information. You could also send him a message, but if i recall, the build is pretty well covered in the video itself.

treesner Posted February 9, 2019 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2019 Bought the Lee valley ones to test, all 3 sizes. They’re all super big compared to my plano ones and I wish the boxes went smaller to a 1x2 not just 2x2 Was curious if the boxes fit plano so the short ones the heigh is nearly perfect and fit in the wider slots for the taller boxes with the biggwr Plano the boxes are a bit to short and don’t fit in the narrow parts Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

treesner Posted November 18, 2020 Author Report Share Posted November 18, 2020 these are the same as the harbor freight ones except you dont have to wait on very slow harbor freight shipping https://www.amazon.com/Stalwart-75-MJ4645102-Portable-Storage-Organizer/dp/B017W2Q6PG/ref=sr_1_67?dchild=1&keywords=small+parts+plastic+drawer+box&qid=1605728957&sr=8-67 https://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/parts-storage/organizers/15-bin-portable-parts-storage-case-93929.html https://www.harborfreight.com/material-handling/parts-storage/organizers/20-bin-medium-portable-parts-storage-case-93928.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
