My mess of spare parts finally got organized last week.

I used to just toss all tiny screws and springs into one jar after repairs. After losing a crucial screw for an hour, I sorted them by camera model, and now jobs take half the time. How do you guys keep track of all the small bits?

Label each compartment with both the model and part type. Saves you from digging through all the M3 screws just to find one specific length.

Throw the screw size on there too.

My buddy once spent an entire afternoon hunting for a single tiny lens screw in his junk drawer.
