This Storage Organizing Bin Company Also Makes…Sweatpants Drawstring Re-Threaders?
Did one of the boss' kids sneak this into the catalog?
Schaller Corporation is one of those industrial supply companies that (seemingly) make one thing: Plastic bins, in a million different sizes.
In drawers of any size, you can use these bins to organize things to your liking.
I find monoproduct companies fascinating, but in fact they make one other object: This Easy Threader for getting the drawstring back into your sweatpants or hoodie after they become separated in the washing machine.
My DIY method has always been to Scotch-tape the drawstring to a chopstick or dull pencil, and worm the drawstring through that way. But I suppose this thing would be useful if you were in a factory environment, or constantly doing laundry for a large family that enjoys sweat-wear. My main question is, how the heck did this doohickey make its way into the company's catalog?

Why do they make the threaders? One word, "Plastics".
Thanks for the link to this company. I've been looking to make my tool chests more Kanban. While the look of foam cut outs is very sexy, the pounds of tools per cubic foot of tool box metric grates at my inner operations research calculator. These little bins break up the drawer into zones. They also allow stacking tools like pliers and cutters. The added benefit that I discovered on the first project after binning the first drawer was that I could grab the entire bin and take it to the bench. This is cool when you know you need a Torx driver and your eyeball is only calibrated to Phillips 00 to 4.
Who knew there was a non chopstick way to do this. Santa if you are listening... Stocking stuffer.
Just as a reminder, companies are a non-existent figment of social construction.
The real live flesh & blood humans would be sitting at home, directionless, without the companies organizing and directing them.
