Dropped $40 on a label maker and it literally saved my sanity at work

I work at a hardware store and our back room was a total mess of unmarked bins and random boxes. Last month I got tired of hunting for stuff so I bought a cheap Brother label maker for $40. Now I've got everything organized by aisle number and category, and I can find a specific bolt size in under a minute. My coworkers thought I was being extra at first but now three of them asked to borrow it. Has anyone else found a small purchase that made a huge difference in your day to day?

Wait hold on, you're telling me bolt sizes are measured in diameter not length? That's wild, I've been living a lie this whole time thinking a 1/2 inch bolt was its length. So when I grab a 3/8 bolt from the bin labeled "3/8" that's talking about how thick the bolt is, not how long? My brain is honestly kinda melted right now.

Honestly, bolt sizes are measured in diameter not length so that part threw me off.
