Attach a magnet to the bottom and use it when you're working on something and need to hold the screws, nuts, and bolts. For even when we were with you, we gave you this rule: "If a man will not work, he shall not eat." 2 Thessalonians 3:10

The tiny tins seemed inconvenient, so I emptied them all into a single, clean, Altoids tin, which was just right for all 1,000. Ahhhh, "curiously strong" percussion caps.

Wag more, bark less. The freedoms we surrender today will be the freedoms our grandchildren will never know existed. The men who wrote the Second Amendment didn't just finish a hunting trip, they just finished liberating a nation.

This is what I was thinking too. Great idea. If I were still into fishing, I'd do that. Did a lot as a kid with friends, but not much since.

Dad used Sucret cans to cut up pitch kindling and combine it with matches and paper towels as a fire starter kit. You could melt wax into sawdust and use them as fire starters for your pack. _______________________________________________________ An 8 dollar driveway boy living in a T-111 shack LOL

These cans are too small for bore snakes.

I don't know if percussion caps are more or less sensitive than primers, but it doesn't seem to be a good idea to have that many crammed together. Jerry Ignorance can be fixed. Stupid is forever!

Anything you might use them for...there are already much better containers out there for almost no money. I used to try and figure out what I could use my empty Skoal tins for. Answer, absolutely nothing.

Jerry They come 100 to a tin, packed loose, so I doubt it's a huge concern.
