Keep nuts, bolts, and screws organized
Somewhere in a corner of your basement or garage you probably have a small bench where you go to fix things – a cord on a lamp, a loose screw on a chair, a door hinge, etc. And on a shelf near that bench (or in a drawer) there is an old coffee can where you keep the left over screws from old projects. It has lots of different wood and metal screws, bolts, nuts, washers, and odd looking bits and pieces you decided should not get thrown away because "some day you’ll need it".
When it comes time for the next fix-it project, you dutifully go to the bench, dump out the coffee can and sift through the contents in hopes of finding the perfect match. If the can is big and you’ve been at this for 20 years, odds are good you will find something. When it’s all done, you are left with the task of putting all those odd bits back in the can. The challenge is that some are small and many have sharp points. Inevitably you drop a few on the floor or prick you hand or both.
The solution is a "pan funnel". You empty the can into the pan rather than out on the bench and when you are done, you conveniently just pour the contents right back into the can!
Don’t think OSHA would like sharp edges. Alternative, take a cheapo dust pan (plastic or metal) and cut off the handle at the point the point that gives you the desired funnel width. Alright, I never did that – too lazy and/or cheap. Just used the dust pan for the sorting surface then tipped it at the appropriate angle to jiggle the rest back into the can. Added benefit: If you have some loose screws (!), just brush them into the dust pan.
If someone has no woodworking tools or tin snips, you idea of cutting the handle off a dust bin is a great alternative. As for OSHA, I soften the metal edges. I don’t like sharp edges either – with the exception of my knives.
