Altoids tins work for me, but you have to label them. I've also used the small round plastic boxes that 3M electrical tape is sometimes sold in. Nice to be able to see into it, but the lid comes off too easily. The fix, naturally, is a couple of pieces of electrical tape to hold the lid!

I use the plano boxes for all my parts. You can find them in the tackle box section of your favorite sporting goods store. At last count I have six different boxes for all sorts of stuff.

That's not a bad idea. When I worked at a drugstore I organized a whole bunch of fasteners we had laying around. Guess what I put them in? Old medicine bottles. Put a sticker on the lid to label what was in them. Worked out fine.
I also use the 3M electrical tape boxes, but you have to buy the more expensive tape then :thumb:

I buy zippered bags (cloth) at Lowe's, Home Depot etc. I stick sneak protectors & bridge clips in one, scotch locks and a crmper in another, dry wall crews in another, mod plugs and a crimper in another---etc, etc. I've also used little zippered leather-like toiletry bags for stuff too. Actually, none of them have worn out yet.
