Speaking of which, what does everyone use for temporary storage of not so little parts like bolts and such that you pull off of engines during a repair? I haven't seen a (metal) #10 coffee can in years. Likewise, metal coffee cans are a thing of the past... They were great for washing out

Si si, I've got more than a few metal cans from my favorite Italian espresso. I also get plastic cans from our coffee mess at work, handy for sealing up parts for protection against corrosion. Max Dillon, Charleston SC ___ http://www.okiebenz.com To search

I'm pretty sure we can still get large metal coffee cans at Walmart - I have a couple iin my garage. But for storing small parts I prefer using Tupperware type of plastic containers as I dislike rummaging through 10# coffee cans full of misc stuff.. They have snap-on lids and are

My wife uses an expensive Cascade dishwasher detergent that comes in a plastic rectangular tub that I use for the larger bolts, hose clamps, etc. They are challenged with head bolts, but are generally OK otherwise and I'm keeping them out of the landfill. On Mon, Aug 11, 2014 at 1:24 PM, John
