Question about sorting tiny screws and springs

Lately, I've seen more people using pill organizers for gun parts (like the weekly ones from the drugstore). It's a cheap fix for keeping all those small bits in order. I tried it with my AR-15 build and it saved me a lot of time looking for springs. The only downside is they can tip over if you're not careful. Maybe a tackle box would be better, but the pill thing is so handy for on-the-go jobs. What do you guys use for this?

Those pill things seem clever but they're a mess waiting to happen... one wrong move and you've got springs rolling everywhere. It's not worth the hassle when a cheap tackle box keeps everything secure. You'll save time in the long run by not having to sort through spilled parts.

Yeah I get what skylerp20 means about the spills. I used tackle boxes for years but kept breaking the thin dividers. Switched to those small plastic bins with dividers from the hardware store, way sturdier for springs and tiny screws. What do you use for really small parts?

What specific tackle box brand holds up best for you?
