I like these a whole lot - I have about 15 of these in different sizes that I use for stems, springs, stabilizer parts, and switch tops. I believe #162071 is the one that holds 87 MX stems perfectly.

I've seriously been thinking about using either old VHS tape boxes or finding the clear new cartridge plastic snap cases you can get on ebay for housing all my bags of keycaps in some sort of order, rather than just all together in a big random box... but can't find where my VHS taps are...

I was thinking about using a plastic bits drawer for tools for mine but they cost around 40 usd. That would be the best way to organize everything.
