I need you to drive over here once a month to clean and areange my tools and shop.

^that is exactly what I was thinking. My tools don't line up as nice as those shown.

Those are racks that keep them organized. In the heat of battle, in the shop not in the field, I can find tools quicker and if I see an empty spot I know I haven’t gathered up all my tools yet.

It’s easier to keep them that way than you think and you don’t have to dig through a drawer of loose wrenches looking for what you need. I don’t have a picture of the drawer with pliers, diagonals and such. It has a rack that lets you set them on edge so you fit more in the drawer and access them the same way.

I agree that it all looks a little anal, but it’s a very efficient use of the tools and a good way to make sure you don’t leave one underneath a car that drives away.

The primary thing is : most modern tool chests have very shallow drawers making these clips impossible .

At one time many years ago I did this, it's very nice to have every socket, wrench, extension , ratchet and so on instantly at hand and when you're working flat rate it puts money in your pocket .

I no longer use these separators though .

Actually Nate, my newer boxes have deeper drawers that allow this kind of arrangement. It is my older boxes from the seventies that have the shallow drawers. That’s why I chose that stainless box he showed. It has fewer, but deeper drawers allowing for arrangements like I showed in my pictures.

That said, I expect that there are still lots of boxes available today that are as you describe.

You should have spoken up while I was in Jennings on disaster relief. I could have dropped by and wrecked your tool box.

I have heard that Lowes, or one of the big chain building supply box store brands. Handles a decent sized toolbox in a heavier gauge metal. For not a bad price.

I have not seen one myself though.For about half the going price.
