I have everything and anything...from 1930s Herbrand Van-Chrome to '50s 
Craftsman and '60s Proto to last week's Harbor Freight and Amazon and a 
ton of stuff I've done off eBay.  I gave up.  I have a 'metric drawer' 
that's about to get partitioned a little better and a 'SAE drawer' 
likewise.  I don't have one of anything and often need/want something 
specific so slotting things in a rack just doesn't work.  Unless I had a 
lot more drawer space.

Sockets are better partitioned.  I try to keep at least five of every 
size from 6mm/1/4in up to an inch/25mm deep, short, etc.  Fewer of the 
big ones, though I should buy more.

John.
