Compartmentalised case for carrying components

    Hey there,

    I am looking for a carry case to carry my various electrical components. Resistors, caps etc. I have been using a sandwich box until now but it is far from ideal as everything gets mixed up.

    Does anyone have any suggestions on what to go for? I will be carrying my components with me daily so need a robust case.

    I was thinking of something like this:
    http://www.amazon.co.uk/Compartment-Crafts-Plastic-Storage-Case/dp/B000KMGK20/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1411578338&sr=8-6&keywords=compartment+box

    However it does not look like it has a handle and I do not know how sturdy it is.

    I would pay good money for a good quality one as I don't want the case to open on me unexpectedly and have me picking up transistors all day!

    The bigger the better to a certain degree. A perfect situation would be something like a toolbox but compartmentalised with a large cavity that has room for my iron!

    If they are surface mount components then the ones from www.smtzone.com are great. If they are through hole then these are likely too small for you.

    I have a bit of everything going out in the morning! That does look nice though for the home workshop. All the SMD Led's get lost as soon as I take them off the strip :P
