Component & breakout storage

Post by robcranfill »

I'm collecting a whole lot of parts - wires, resistors, switches, etc - including quite a few Adafruit breakout sensor boards and microcontrollers..... and I was wondering what people use to store all this good stuff in? I have a couple Stanley parts cases that seem to be OK, but maybe there's something better.

What do you use?

Do I need to worry about static? About parts bumping into each other (I don't think so, maybe).

Ideas appreciated!

I have an assortment of Akro-Mils drawer units, single and double width drawers. I've never had any problem with them.

Fishing tackle boxes are also good, and easy to find.

For components, I mostly use SMT parts. Test tubes work well for those:
