Tap organization

[mattthemuppet2]

I want to shop at YOUR flea markets!

To rub salt in the wound I got my three Akro-mills organisers for $5 for all three AND they came filled with searchlight parts that I sold on for $750

Really, I've seen your hauls. If I remember you almost had to remove your car seats to get home one time and you left the akro bins on the table.... That was you right? Seats all crushed with stuff.

I don't have many taps, but I wanted them organized, so I got little square plastic mailing tubes at McMaster-Carr, labeled them and set them in my tool box drawer. I have a Huot tap case as well.

Here's the whole drawer. I didn't have a place for the air stuff, so it lives with the taps:


Here are the plastic cases. I used file folder labels for the labels:

This is the closest thing I have to "organized". It's more like they're grouped by common sizes but not in any particular order.
I also have about 100 more or so that are in my junk bins. Most are brand new and many are old school USA made.

This looks like just the ticket! I don't have nearly the number of taps that most folks seem to have, but lots of them are wrapped in surplus mcmaster carr plastic bags with sharpie labels. Not working!

Got everything sorted. I ran out of label tape, so I'll have to finish up some of them later. I am "missing" some sizes. But what I like about these drawers over the indexes is I can easily move them around. I like having the larger drawers, but, if I had to do it over again, I would habe just bought two of the sets with the small drawers.

Why not small up top and larger taps as you go down? That way if you find a crazy deal on a 1" tap you can fit multiples in the larger drawers.

It's easy enough to move everything around.
