@quixoticgeek@social.v.st @twigathy@hachyderm.io They're also surprisingly useful when you have to build a temporary platform to prop something up with. The clever bit is not to use the one containing the tool you're about to need as part of the stack...
The 35 litre ones are about right for breeding kettle leads...

tagged cables etc etc way way organised is Kim
@ozzy @quixoticgeek@social.v.st @twigathy@hachyderm.io It helps that we spent lockdown tidying up...
@kim @quixoticgeek @twigathy I have box envy.
@ravenbait @kim @twigathy i highly recommend the 4/9/19l really useful boxes. Esp if you can get them in different colours, so you can have sewing stuff in purple, tools in black, stationary in clear, etc... they also fit perfectly on IVAR shelves from IKEA. Which are also excellent.
@quixoticgeek@social.v.st @ravenbait@mastodon.scot @twigathy@hachyderm.io My sewing stuff got relegated to the remaining not-Really-Useful (slightly useful?) plastic boxes, which are much less robust, but wedge neatly in a corner of the bedroom. I don't do a lot of sewing, so this is fine.
@quixoticgeek@social.v.st @twigathy@hachyderm.io I found that 4/9-litre Really Useful Boxes™ work quite well for larger component/tool storage (to say nothing of camping equipment storage and paper magazine storage). Stackable to a reasonable height makes them Generation Rent friendly, and you can shuffle them round depending on what you're working on.
Not especially bikeable, but quite good for chucking in the footwell of a hire car as the need arises.
