large 5 gallon bucket holds most of my tools on the way to the pick & pull. While wandering the yard, I'll dig through the bucket to pull the sockets that should match the part I'm about to go looking for. Usually odd size sockets in one jacket pocket and the evens in another (good for 8, 10, 12 & 14 mm vs 7, 13, 15, 17, 19 & 21 mm).
Working in the driveway, I lay them out by size in groups of three or four. Then I warn my four year old that if he takes them and doesn't put them back, I will get right angry.
The point, is that in the heat of battle, you really only need a small number of sockets and spanners, so think for 60 seconds before you dive in and you'll save plenty of time as you work.
You have to laugh when he picks up the 1/2" drive breaker bar and uses it as a microphone to sing Michael Jackson songs.
