The roof build involved M5 hardware, quarter-twenty hardware, washers and several types of connector. A compartment organizer is one of the storage purchases in my build kit for managing that kind of small-parts collection.

Keeping the Roof Hardware Groups Distinct
My roof-mount assembly brought together plates, washers, bolts and slot nuts.
The rack and the added extrusion used different hardware sizes.
I bought a divided organizer as part of the small-parts storage kit around that work.

My Takeaway from This Job
Separating the hardware by joint would make it easier to bring the right pieces to each assembly. The double-sided case, the FATMAX compartment case and DEWALT removable compartments offer different ways to arrange that collection.
The kit had to move between storage, transport and the place where I was working.

Removable plastic partitions
A small parts organizer box is most useful when each compartment has a clear purpose. Separate fasteners by thread size and length before subdividing washers, nuts and extrusion connectors. Put the parts used together near one another, with a label that identifies the thread rather than only its appearance. Removable dividers make room for longer bolts, but the lid still needs to close over the tallest item. A photograph of the finished compartment layout provides a quick reference when replenishing parts after a fabrication session.
Record thread size and length so the correct bolt can be selected without relying on appearance alone.

Two Alternatives to Compare
The STANLEY FATMAX and DEWALT organizers offer other divided small-parts cases. Compartment depth, removable sections and the case layout distinguish these portable storage formats.
This organizer separates small components into compartments beneath a transparent lid. Its case and handle provide a portable format for hardware storage.
