    I didn't want to start a new thread, plus this is an 11 year-old necropost, so I should be eligible for some sort of award.

    I was strolling through Home Depot and saw these while looking for DeWalt parts boxes:

    https://www.homedepot.com/p/Husky-12...5-03/301959980

    They looked well made, rubber gasket and latch securely. The dividers are sturdy (thick plastic - don't flex) and well shaped so the parts shouldn't migrate to adjoining bins.

    At $6.00 a pop I bought a couple for my range bag.

    Plus, as I've been in Home Depot quite a bit recently, I've seen some killer deals on DeWalt combo kits coming up to Black Friday:

    https://www.homedepot.com/p/DEWALT-2...-305585076-_-N ($499 from $899)

    They also have a pretty good deal on Milwaukee combo kits, up to 50% off:

    Anyways, those small parts storage boxes really jumped out as a value in my eyes.

    This is the best by far. They make a slightly larger one too. Holds all my M4 pattern parts from uppers and buffers to detents.

    Tools I'm still using the bag my kit came in, though I need to reorg it with all the stuff I've added.

    I find that generally the boxes with removable dividers will allow small parts such as ejectors, gas tube roll pins, detent pins, springs, etc. roll under them and become intermixed.

    I've had some luck anchoring them with Gorilla brand super glue. I've also used silicone sealant, but it doesn't dispense as neatly in my hands.

    I use these in my shop: https://www.harborfreight.com/tool-s...ers-68238.html
