I like sorting everything, it is the peeling back the bubble wrap on everything that takes the time. I like Tayda, they build a bubble wrap fort and sticks it all in there.

I am lazy, I find the Mouser part I want then find the part of the Mouser number that corresponds to the entire product line like 603-MFR-25FBF52 for Yageo bulk resistors. That said, lately with end of life and some crazy price hikes plus tariffs, been searching a little more, mix and...
