This may seem trivial, but you want what you want.
I have some older Akro-Mils small parts organizers that allow resisters, diodes and the like, to be stored parallel to the face of the drawer. Akro-Mils no longer makes this 2-1/2" (inside measurement) of drawer width.
I also like the depth of the older drawers. They are only 1" deep so it is easy to get your fingers inside particularly if the partitions are deployed close together.
I have scrutinize the web looking for a different brand that might accommodate my needs.
It seems that all brands either offer a 2-1/8" or a much wider like 4" width drawer.
I can not be the only one with this dilemma.
Anybody have a tip to offer?
And a merry Christmas to all
Just cut the leads shorter so they fit the 2-1/8" drawer. I have never needed the full-length lead. Or, switch to lower wattage resistors that are shorter. Or, switch to SMD resistors -- resistance is futile.
