I don't know why I love this stuff so much, but I do!

wow.... organized to 10th power. Dont ever let me take out a tool out of your box.. looks too pretty

 

Is that all custom? I see Wiha tools, but cany make out the name of the box.

Nothing special. I'm not buying 100% Snap On, like some people I know. It's' a mutt collection, mainly of Craftsman, but all the drivers are Wiha. The box itself is a Kennedy.

 

so organized. one day.... how do you like whia drivers? i need new screwdrivers. craftsman has gone to crap. i have a decent number of them all bought before they became crappy. i just picked up some armstrong ratchets that are nice made usa and not crazy snap on prices.

 

But snap on is so nice. The gearing is so precise... I know. Can't justify price but I keep buying cheap tools again and again and again...

 

That's a completely inefficient use of a toolbox. You can get far more tools in there if you just cram them full. Of course, you get to hunt for the ratchet at the track for 5 minutes (usually when it's right there in front of your face).

Very nice work. What did you use to cut the foam so precisely?

 

Cheap quality,they'll last you 3 nuts and 3 bolts. But the box is pretty. I prefer tools that work hard and function properly for a long time. You get what you pay for...

 

very nice and clean

 

dang that is some clean work!

I do take issue with you mixing that air tool with the beauty of a clear, one category drawer

 

Kennedy makes a great box. Love the set-up. Also curious what you used to cut the foam.

 

One day I'll get my setup organized, but right now it's all stuffed in 2 different boxes, so my tool density is very high, but finding that 15mm 6pt deep thin wall socket to pull a caliper is a PITA. :-)

I buy cheap for seldom used tools, I buy good quality for often used. HF is great for 1-2x use items. That said, the HF Pro line I think is as good (or bad) as the new Craftsman stuff...

Try the Armstrong ratchets. I actually like the feel and precision over SnapOn ( they have 80 tooth gears). Sockets I have a ton of USA craftsman that are fine and still look great. Combo wrenches haven't found some I like yet, the craftsman ones I have are just OK, Armstrong seem to get good reviews so may try those. Screwdrivers, need new ones. I like Whia for precision tools (have a ton of them)... Hazet also look nice and aren't stupid expensive either.

 

Clearly you don't have enough tools.

If I did that, I think I would need 15 huge upright tool chests. Pretty though. Takes the fun out of hunting through drawers.

 

I had the foams made by Delta C Dynamics. Tell Sean I sent you.

I simply took a sheet of paper and a marker and traced an outline of each tool and labeled it. Then I scanned each sheet. I took a photo of each drawer as a starting point for the layout. Sean optimized the layout and suggested some changes. Once we agreed on each drawer layout, he water-jet cuts the foams and laminates the solid bottom layer.

It's not cheap, but I think it's well worth the money, as all my tools are laid out nicely, even after a bumpy tow to the track; they are very easy to find; and best of all, I can see at a glance if I'm missing anything.
