My reccomendation would be to continue to use your large tubs, but sort
the parts by type and then put bags of similar types together in tubs.
For parts which you have smaller quantities of, look at the various
drawer units people have mentioned or the Plano compartmented boxes etc.
These can either be stacked on top of the tubs, or put inside the
appropriate tubs. With storing the tubs in a closet, I reccomend you
label the tubs as to what they generally contain. You may want to
reserve the top several tubs for selections of the parts you are most
likely to want to use on a casual basis.
