So I've got my 1x1 round tiles and such sorted into jewelry cases. What do
ppl use to get pieces out of those small little sections? Tweezers means going
one at a time. Anyone have a nice small scoop they recommend? Or is there another
way for us thick fingered folk to manage this?

TIA

You can get an cheap set of measuring spoons for any dollar store if you are
looking for something small.

Buy organizers that have removable bins! I like the Stanley rip off ones at
harbor freight.

Low-adhesive scotch tape. Great for picking up little things.

In all honesty I have a pair of plastic tweezers made for removing automotive
fuses that I use.

Yep, tweezers.

You can pick parts with one hand.  With removable compartments, you need to get
it out, you need somewhere to drop the parts… and then you need put the excess
back in and put the compartment back in too.
Removable compartments have their use but tweezers too

I found some "craft mates" bead storage bins that are small and lock but the
good thing is they have a curved front so you can easily scoop them out without
having to deal with sharp corners. Scoop, find ones you need, drop them back
in.
Luckily I found a real nice set at a local auction for cheap otherwise it might
get costly depending on how many you need.
