Electrical Connector Organization and Storage

[Engineer8000]

I currently keep all my electrical connectors in bags in a cardboard box. I am looking for ideas to organize these and also keep my related tools all together. Please show me what you use.

I am sure that Amazon has tons of offerings for plastic storage cases that would serve the purpose you need. The above is what i am most familiar with and have used for various storage needs at work and at home.

Check out the selection of HART brand boxes they sell at Walmart. I have a few that are pretty decent.

I use a set of these for my connectors. One each for 22-16, 16-14, and 12-10 connectors.

I did glue the dividers in place as they tend to come loose and allow the compartments to mix together when the box is open. With them glued, you can shake the box with it closed without mixing anything.

I bought some plastic tip-out bins from Northern Tool some years ago that mount on a wall to hold little stuff like connectors, cotter pins, carb jets, etc. Let me see if I can find them on-line.

Here they are, or at least similar to the ones I have:

They come in different sizes and lengths.

seems like you'd want to decide first if you want/need mobile or not. Different beasts.

I think I have settled on this, Plano Stow N Go with four 3700 trays. I can store my connector tools in the top.

Definitely! I like the tip-out style bins that @1911 mentions for things that I use at the workbench, but the connectors often "travel" for jobs.

These are for small lighter stuff.

For bolts and a little heavier stuff I made a cabinet.

In my rol cabinet,

And for the tools that are not on the wall

And this for the battery powered stuff.

This is a space I cannot use otherwise.

I have been using the Plano stow and go boxes for years for most of my hardware items. I store them on their long edge on a shelf above the work bench.

I think this was a good choice.
