I'm still working on my wrenches. The drawer is too shallow for a proper rack, but the wrenches are too light and move around when I close the drawer.

 

Here is my socket drawer:

Those rails are nice, about $40 a piece on Amazon.

 

Been using these for my pliers. It needs a deepish drawer, but it took my plier set from taking up 3/4 of a 6 ft drawer to an 8-inch row. No priced too bad for being Snappy either.

I don't get to OCD about it but I'm organized because few things irritate me more than not being able to find something, especially when I'm in a rush or getting tired :mad: I do like my Klein t-wrenches and having some of my Dewalt tools and batteries readily accessible. Combination wrenches are just grouped by size range. No revelations or unique strategies that I can offer for any takeaways...

Because of the way my mind works I'm 

REEEEAALLLYY. BAAAAD....

about "outta sight, outta mind"

 

So I do have a tool box for lots of things. And...  I use a LOT of wall organizing. 

I like pegboard. OK I'm obsessed with pegboard. 

Here's the new workshop space. 

4 full pieces.

I also have 2 1/2 in the main barn area with at least 1 1/2 more to install.  

 

Inside the drawers I have inexpensive clip-on socket holders. 

Also use a plier rack but those are all headed to the wall sometime.

Snap on used to do spanner racks like those for tool box drawers. Had some in mine when I was a fitter. 

I hang my combi spanners on hooks, allen keys in blocks, pliers and drivers in drawers. 

I have used the foam inserts in my milwaukee tool boxes but they do waste a lot of space.

For commonly used tools I like my peg board right over my work bench.  At the end of the day I can spot missing items faster.  i have not made the paper cutouts like we used in the army.:P

I keep my Dewalt's in the power drawer, except the 1/2 inch. It goes in the socket drawer because it doesn't fit anywhere else.

 

But I guess gluing them to the cabinet is good too.

 

 

In all seriousness, are those charging banks the batteries are in? I need to find one because I have recently gone from 2 batteries to 5, but I can't stomach Dewalt's price for the OE one.

I tried (toolbox widget?) organizers.  Nice concept, but they move when you open & close the drawers.  I actually prefer my 40-year-old generic wrench racks. They're plastic, and they tape to the bottom of the drawer. No magnets, no moving around.

Sorry, too lazy to get up and take photos!
