Here's a question for discussion...What do you do with all the old nuts and bolts you collect? Do you throw them in one big coffee can? Sort them somehow? Or (gasp!) toss them and buy new whenever yo

I use several medium-size tupperware containers. I like them because the lids fit tight, less likely to accidentally spill the contents. I don't have so much extra hardware that I sort by thread size

Yeah, but how much does it cost in fuel and time to drive to the store to pick up just one bolt? Especially at 5:55 on Sunday, when the store closes at 6. If they even have the right size in stock.
