Plastic Containers

Plastic storage containers of all sizes are available at the dollar store, at a much cheaper price than the brand name versions found in other stores. They’re great for organizing your garage or workshop.

Use them to corral nails and screws, paint supplies, drill bits, and more! Just make sure you use a labeling system for optimal organization.

You’ll always have a pair at hand, and you won’t worry if you scratch a lens or snap a frame. But remember that reading glasses are not a substitute for safety glasses.
