It is what works for you.
I have no inventory system as such but everything has a place so I sort o use the impress system with no stock cards.
The only thing I keep on file is belts and that is because I just can not remember all of the buggers.
There is around 400 hiding downstairs.
Airfilters are by brand Briggs - Honda - Kohler - kawasak i- Loncin - Ducar - Tecumseh
And I draw the shape on the outside of the box so without remembering the numberI can grab an open top Honda filter or a short cylinder Briggs etc.
Bearings, in bins 6200's in one box 6300 in another 6400 in the third then a box for the rest most come from a bearing shop, bought by the full box, usually 24
Another box for spindles, one of each popular size & 4 x long Husqvarna star .
Next to them complete spindle assemblies, again one or two of each common type that I can get wholesale.
Pulleys live in 2 drawers of an old tool chest several of each size plus a set of press tools so I can swap the bushes without bearing damage
Nothing better than swapping the bush from a dead $ 50 pulley into a $ 10 one and making a very healthy mark up for 3 minutes on the press.
The Oil filtesr sit in their bulk box on it's side with a couple of flaps cut into the bottom of one side so they become dispensers.
All of the chainsaw stuff, including breaker , Spinner & grinder sit in a mobile rack made from scrap Dexion pallet racking
a desk lamp on the grinder end & a magnafying lamp on the spinner end
Some racking makes a bay for walk behinds with all of their parts surrounding them .
Starter rope sits on a length of dowel rod on some shelf brackets on the wall where they never see sunlight.
The tools needed, are in a box or tied to the rail right there so it is never more than a 5 minute job.
Standard fee $ 20 on machine & $ 15 off, regardless of what it is
