I had larger bins but, find I have large amounts of only a few items. Most things I have quantities of 100 or less (or they take up small amounts of room). I bought a bunch of these Plano boxes at Lowe's once upon a time. I built a rack out of some old t1-11 siding and particle board that came from a neighbor's shed that he tore out. This setup does not give you direct sight at every compartment. In practice this is not an issue
for me (YMMV) as I group items by "family" as opposed to filling compartments till I run out of spots and then moving on to the next bin.
Flathead screws in one unit, washerhead screws in another, pocket hole screws, brass screws, cabinet fittings (bumpers, door rubs, shelf pins and so forth), etc. For nuts, bolts and other less-used stuff I have some of those little plastic drawer do-jobbers and old sliced peaches jars behind those with larger items. Sounds pretty ghetto but, seems to keep working and so has not fallen under the "needs improvement" category yet ;-) These pics are from back in 2009; the empty bins have been pretty well put to use by now. The benefits of one system or another will depend on what you have, normally stock and how much you go through. This system would be way too fussy for a pro shop. Karl probably uses more hardware on one job than I do all year
