Adam Savage’s Tested

How Adam Savage Keeps Track of All of His Shop Hardware

Adam Savage recently conducted a comprehensive audit of his workshop, cataloguing over half a million hardware pieces stored across 72 Sortimo bins. He walks viewers through a systematic inventory method that combines physical labeling, digital spreadsheets, and regular stock checks. The approach is designed to make any maker or professional shop locate parts instantly and avoid unnecessary re‑purchasing. Savage’s system demonstrates how disciplined organization can turn a chaotic parts collection into a productive asset.
