Any hacks for separating dust from clips and screws etc.

[Mikegh]

I'm sorting out a load of stuff and have about 6 Stanley deep organizers

Is there any dust cyclone you can make up to separate the dust and dirt

Otherwise I've got some mesh and I'll use it to shake the dust out of a bucket or something ?

Sort it out before it gets dusty simples

If you have 6 boxes full of dust and crap then you have 5 boxes too many

I've got 6 of the deep ones but only need about 4

I've got tonnes of beam clips which have never been organised so need 1 for those

Also going to start using the smaller organizers for convenience

A good magnet will work wonders. I have one of them cable gecko things and use that

Still need to sort plugs etc. Only open organiser lids when you need something.

Most of the dust I need to separate is from the bottom of tool bags and totes, the organizers are mostly clean

take all tools etc' out. tip crap into bin. throw tools back in.

basically you run i part under a floor with cable attached and pull it across with magmet on top of floor. OK till it hits a water pipe. and, of course, you can only go parallel with the joists.

Had that happen a few times, when it happens I run it across the ceiling below the floor to avoid the pipes
