Best Organizer Boxes for Screws, Nuts, and Bolts for DIY Projects – Makita, Sortimo, or Other Options in Europe?

Hey r/DIY, I’ve got a massive pile of screws, nuts, bolts, and plugs from various DIY projects, and I’m desperate to organize them so I can actually find what I need! I already use some Makita MAKPAC boxes for my battery tools, so I’m thinking about sticking with their organizers (like the interlocking cases or drawer systems) to keep everything cohesive. That said, it doesn’t seem like many folks use Makita for small parts storage, and I’m wondering if there’s a better setup out there. I’ve heard Sortimo (like T-Boxx or L-Boxx) is great for organizing fasteners, but I’m curious about how they compare for DIY use in terms of durability, ease of access, and price. Are there other brands or systems available in Europe that you’d recommend for managing a big mix of hardware? I’d love something modular and tough, ideally for my home workshop but portable enough if I need to take stuff to a project site. What organizer boxes do you use for screws, bolts, and other small hardware in your DIY projects? Anyone using Makita’s MAKPAC organizers, or have you switched to Sortimo, Milwaukee, Qbrick, or something else? What are the pros and cons of Makita vs. Sortimo (or other brands) for DIY workshop storage? Any budget-friendly or DIY hacks for organizing a ton of fasteners on the cheap? I’m in Europe, so availability here is important. Thanks for any advice or recommendations to keep my projects organized and stress-free! submitted by /u/pocketnl [link] [comments]
