That is a good idea. I might do that on my transfer punches.
I have a bunch of these. I only latch them if I am going to remove the drawer (case) and take to another part of the shop with me and that does not happen often. They are all located right next to my main work-bench so it is pretty easy to reach over, pull out a drawer and get what I want. 90% of the time, I am getting a machine screw out of them. I am able to keep a large variety of screw hardware from #8 through to 3/8. They are kind of expensive but I have really liked having them a lot. I like that they are very durable metal construction. You can see them in the background of this picture.
To each his own. Those just don't suit me. Labeling isn't as easy and they end up very heavy.
this is one of the reasons that I like this forum so much. Every one here has a different way of solving similar problems (often better than my ideas
). Having used these for a few years, I agree that when full of metal hardware they can get quite heavy but I find a rarely remove the boxes from the drawers. I also do not attempt to label the individual compartments, just the overall drawers.
