I can't believe it's not butter tubs usage
I have been using these tubs/containers for the past couple of years for maintenance storage and they work so well that I thought I would share the idea. When ever I remove something from the plane I put all of the fastener hardware in one of these containers, put a strip of masking tape on the lid and write what assembly it is for on the tape with a Sharpie. Once used the container has its identification affixed to the lid even when not in use. Other than the obvious keeping the area organized and the hardware together it serves a check list function to make sure all of the right hardware (I use several different length #8 screws and some #10s) goes back into the right assemblies and the reassemblies are complete. I now have labeled containers for "Upper Cowl", "Lower Cowl", "Nose Landing Gear", "Baffle", "Left Main Gear", and "Right Main Gear." They work very well for me.
