[Shop-talk] On to wrenches

[brianlpro]

I have a small, two car garage, so I don’t need to roll my tool chest around. I have a 2x12 beam where I can hang most of my wrenches. I also modify the round loop holders for a peg board and mount them on my work bench to hold screwdrivers, ice pick (on of my most valued tools), etc. Most frequently used sockets are in socket holders in the toolbox. The rest are the usual sort though drawers. I have used magnetic strips to mount tools as well leaving more room in the crowded toolbox.

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.
