end of the year, while cleaning up the laboratory (we already can see some
surface of the table),

Last time I managed to clean my lab bench, I found that >75% of the
surface had been removed by a leaking lead-acid battery. I learned my
lesson: don't clean. The layers of junk protect.

is fine - except the damned tubes with small quantities of SOIC or exotic
case of power SMD. Some of the tubes contain only a few pieces what would
be possible to put them into SMD containers but if we like to use them in
feeders we have to put them back in the tube with the danger of bend wings.

Our pick-n-place guys HATE anything that's not T&R. Hence if it's not
on tape, we fit it by hand, period.

At home however I have to organize tubes of ICs, mostly in small
quantity. I keep them vertically in a bin, with a tag attached to the
end of each.
