Manage Those Reciprocating Saw Blades

If you have a reciprocating saw, like a Sawzall or similar, you probably have an assortment of blades. These blades are often scattered about at the bottom of the tool's carrying case, creating a nuisance. I have tried grouping them with rubber bands (they break), keeping them in Ziploc bags (the blades just poke through), and other various containers, none to my liking. I have now found a quick and easy means of organizing those recip saw blades.

Simply clip together several blades using a spring binder clip, which you can obtain by the box for a buck or so at any office supply store. Now you will only have a couple things rattling around in the saw's case instead of many.

Unorganized blades.
Saw blades everywhere...what a mess.
Spring binder clips.
Spring binder clips can be picked up cheaply at any office supply store. They come in various sizes.
Blades clipped together.
You can clip together several blades, depending on the size of the clip.
More organized now.
No more blades strewn about.
