Small Part Storage
I'm sure we all have our own preferred method of storing and organizing nuts, bolts, washers, hinges, clips, fittings etc.
For the last 15+yrs I've been using a set of Large Keeper Boxes. I really like these as they have multiple divided pockets but the best feature I find are the 'seals' on the lid that prevents thin parts such as washers migrating from pocket to pocket.
I liked them so much I bought a case of them, but I'm down to the last 3. It appears that the distributor no longer sells them and multiple Google searches as failed to find them anywhere.
I did find something similar in JoAnns yesterday, under the brand of Hildie & Jo as a bead container, but it was a little thinner so would hold less.
Continuing to search, I stumbled on this one that may be promising.

What does everyone else use? Any great ideas out there?

I am clumsy, and more than once I have knocked over the tray of screws and had to collect and sort. So similarly, I picked up these small containers at JoAnn.. they fit in the tackle trays, and I though I still knock them over, its a little less of an ordeal to clean one container up rather than a tray
Agree with AJ, some of the new tackle trays have the seals you are looking for. May be time for a trip to bass pro!

I am just impressed you guys are able to sort them at all, I've not been able to get that far. I generally keep a handful of old full servo boxes separated into "smallish bolts," "slightly bigger bolts" and "large bolts" and the same for nuts and washers. I'd love to sit down one day and actually sort them by size/thread.
