Hilllman Box bins

I bought some Hillman boxes that were out of an old hardware store and used to store bolts, nuts, screws, stuff like that.  

The boxes/bins/whatever actually held the bits inside were missing or broken, so I had to make my own.  

I basically just changed the scale on the models I remixed.  I liked how they worked in my Harbor Freight boxes, and I thought they'd work well in the Hillman boxes, and they do! 

My Hillman boxes are 132x270x40mm

To make sure the lid always closed I made my bins all  39.2mm high.  

I made the following bins: 

1/6 the width x ⅓ the depth, 45x43.8x39.2mm

⅓ width x ⅓  depth, 90x43.8x39.2mm

⅓  width x ⅔ depth, 90x87.6x39.2mm

⅓ width x full depth, 90x132x39.2mm

¼ width x ⅓ depth, 67.5x43.8x39.2mm

¼ width x ⅔ depth, 67.5x87.6x39.2mm

¼ width by full depth, 67.5x132x39.2mm

½ width x full depth, 132x135x39.2mm

Those sizes made sense to me, and seem to work well.  Lots of combinations available with them.  The original model had lots more skinnier bins, but I find I don't ever use them in my Harbor Freight boxes.  The 1/6 x ⅓ box is the smallest I find I need.  Even though all my measurements are in metric I tend to just have Imperial/SAE stuff, and not a lot of small screws or bolts, so that's what works for me.  

Enjoy!
