In recent years I have taken a few steps with my misc collections. These collections are very helpful but less used items can overwhelm.
I rarely or never use lock washers and my can of misc washers was infested with them. So all the lock washers to recycling. Big little improvement.
My can of mixed screws no longer has any straight blade screws. Whew that's better
Offcuts get brutal cleansing whenever I need to go to the back of the pile. It helps to use premium bits without holding them back for a more appropriate purpose, otherwise the premium stuff stays for decades.
Unused tools are difficult but not getting worse
Machine parts, jigs and fixtures need more attention
