parts bin
Hardware storage box
A parts bin is a container—typically a small open-topped box or drawer—used to store components, hardware, or spare pieces in workshops, factories, and garages.
Parts bins often appear in organized arrays on shelves or pegboards, each holding screws, bolts, resistors, or other small items sorted by type or size.
Figuratively, a parts bin is any collection of existing components assembled into something new: The car was built from the corporate parts bin.
