Part Storage

Parts Bins

Milk Crates

(Legally acquired) milk crates work ok for storing parts. They are cheap, but small parts will fall out of the holes.

Large Parts Bins

This is the easiest to deal with because they take longer to fill. However it is hard to get to the parts at the bottom, the bins become heavy, are harder to put back on shelves, and one mis-placed part turns the entire bin into an "everything" bin if not corrected quickly.

Small Parts Bins

Constantly need re-stocking.

Clear Bins

Clear bins seem like a good idea, but has anyone found one that is made out of a non-breakable plastic?
