But being 7.5" square that's taking up a lot of shelf space.

HF Funnel tray. $2.99

Highly recommended! These are ideal to dump out a random mix, say nuts/bolts/washers of one size - to find the one lockwasher you know was in there, and then pour everything back into the container.

Essentially what the pharmacy uses to sort pills. Same idea.

ROFL, I did the same thing with an old 8x8 aluminum one with falling off non stick. That had to have been 15 years ago and I still haven't heard the end of it. Since she uses it as an excuse for any kitchen gadget she needs/wants I guess that old "free" parts sorter has cost me plenty

I was wondering who would be the first to admit being caught!

Well that sounds good but every wall has shelves and they are full.

A few pages back I noted I found a $10 Remington cordless pole chainsaw, less battery and charger. Those accessories are NLA, not even on Ebay.

Here's my juryrigged setup to try it out. Its battery input takes ordinary extension cord blades (but modified farther apart) so I hacked a Ryobi flashlight for a power supply to carry in a fanny pack. When I discovered my power supply fits its battery cavity, I mounted it there.

The chain is identical to my Ryobi 18 volt chainsaw and the Ryobi Li-Ion battery is stronger than the original Remington battery so this should work ok.

A new toy! It runs but I haven't tried it for real cutting yet. This beats paying over $100 for similar from HF that I might use an hour per year. Hopefully this will make it unnecessary to reach way off the ladder like I do sometimes with the Robi 18 volt chainsaw.
