Bits, wheels, discs, collets, taps. Each one is a geometry with a job.

The group has eight leaves

Burr bit, collet, cutoff wheel, drill bit, router bit, sanding disc, small saw blade, and tap and die.

And they divide into two storage problems rather than eight

Shanked tools that stand upright, and flat discs that stack. Everything in the group is one or the other, and the two want different containers.

Drill bits, burrs, router bits and taps are shanked

They have a parallel shank and a working end, and the working end is the part that must not be knocked against anything. Standing them shank down protects the edge and lets a set be read at a glance.

Which makes height the governing dimension for half the group

Of the 224 containers on this shelf that record a height, the range is 1.25 to 6.745 inches with a median of 2.60. A jobber length drill bit in a common size is comfortably inside that.

Cutoff wheels and sanding discs are the flat half

They stack, and the stack wants a floor it fits rather than a column. Diameter governs: the shelf runs 1.062 to 4.625 inches with a median of 2.87, recorded for 211 of 238 rows.

Collets are the odd leaf and the most demanding one

A collet is a precision part. Its outside is a taper and its inside is a bore, and both surfaces matter. Loose in a jar with abrasive discs is the situation to avoid.

So the practical answer for this group is separation by kind

Not by size. A sorted set of drill bits in one container and a stack of abrasive discs in another, because the discs produce grit and the bits carry an edge.

And every leaf satisfies the second limb of the article definition

End use function dependent in whole or in part upon shape or design during end use. There is no clearer illustration of that clause than a tap, whose entire function is a thread form.

Which is why the third limb is the one that matters here

The question is never whether these items have a shape with a function. It is what they release under normal conditions of use, and that is not a question about the item in the jar.

No page here answers it

The determination belongs to an employer assessing a particular operation. These pages describe the test, name the group, and stop at the point where a catalog stops knowing things.

The Davis Pack Supply catalog, measured 19 October 2026. 238 containers and 286 closures, a subset of the 251 and 288 that nine groups share identically. 204 jars, 21 bottles, 12 tubs and pails, 1 tube. 117 PET, 71 polypropylene, 50 glass. Nine colors, of which 88 are clear, 44 white, 30 amber, 24 black and 24 natural.

Written from 29 CFR 1910.1200 and from the catalog as it stood on 19 October 2026. That section is the Hazard Communication Standard and it governs the classification and labeling of hazardous chemicals in the workplace; it does not govern bits, blades, wheels or collets, and nothing here says it does. Nothing here determines whether any item is an article under paragraph (c), because that turns on a particular use. No container on this shelf is described as rated for any chemical, fluid or dust, and nothing here is guidance about handling a tool, about dust exposure, about ventilation or about protective equipment. This shelf is a subset of the store-small-dry shelf and the sewing notions property enumerates that shelf.
