Was given one for my 60th so have just been through the same exercise.
Four recommendations -
- 1 - do NOT try to put in too much
- 2 - be flexible, your reqiurements will change
- 3 - organise sockets by making your own compartments, organise
wrenches by making your own slots in aluminum angle or channel
[commercial organizers take up too much room] - takes a day or so to do
but well worth it
- 4 - leave the top "tray" basically empty - then use it for whatever
you are working on or with - keeps the bench much tidier - and a real
godsend at the race track.
