Default Tip: Big tic tac containers for holding rivets

Was at the local hardware store and found these. For less then the cost of those small spill proof containers you can buy these http://www.amazon.com/Tic-Tac-Freshm...ds=tic+tac+200. They work perfect for holding different size rivets. Plus you'll have 800 tic tacs; win win in my book.

Default Juicy Fruit Gum Containers

My wife came home with some Sugar Free Juicy Fruit Gum containers that I have saved for the same purpose as you. Rivet storage containers. The top has two flip lids, a big one to add rivets and a small one that should be about right to dispense rivets. http://www.amazon.com/Wrigley-Juicy-.../dp/B0055IWHKI

I haven't compared the price nor how well they work, but hey, she bought them and was going to throw them away, so to me they are free!

I use empty clear water bottles. I can see the rivets inside and the small caps mean if I drop one only a few will spill.
