nuts and bolts *

As my DIYing gets more and more serious I'm finding myself not so confident in keeping track of nuts and bolts.

At the moment I use a combination of this:



And also keeping nuts and bolts with the parts that are coming off.

But I am still finding myself questioning myself and double guessing where the bolts came from, especially in the compartment version. Especially where I would be dropping a subframe and all of a sudden there will be something in the way so I will quickly remove a bolt and put in a compartment. It's this type of bolt that I'd forget where it'd come from.

How do you guys keep track of where the nuts and bolts came from?

Well I've done 2 big jobs and my brain somewhat automatically new which bolts go where. I just had them in the compartments and the order I took them off in. No biggie I guess!
