<div>how tall are you, Doug... I'd have to move those screwdrivers down some and put seldom used stuff up higher. The only thing I have against the wrench racks</div>
<div>is usually I need two of a given size to do the work... so I have a pile of extras in front of the drawer. It's a little messy but you gotta do what you gotta do. </div>
<div>These pics also remind me I need to update my tool pics since I've added and deleted some.... Insurance guy likes pictures</div>

<div dir="ltr">Howdy,
<div><br></div>
<div>I do a hybrid between "junk drawer" and "organized"... I use a couple organizers for my 'main' metric and standard wrench drawers, then have another drawer for each that's just got 'other wrenches' thrown in.<br><br>Works for me, but taking a look at those Ernst wrench rails, I might do something a little more custom...<br><br>Mark</div></div><br>
