I like these GearWrench foam inserts. I use them for wrenches and screwdrivers. Come in a 4 pack for like $25-30

id definitely have to clean up before i take any pics of my tools haha. then id have to post too much might hinder me from posting. 2 40in craftsman boxes 1 with a full 40in topper a large double door knack box and a craftsman work top bench box. 2 more standard size roller boxes aswell. then ive got shelves everywhere for larger stuff. btw those wrench organizers everyone was commenting on are also available through homedepot and or lowes both brands are pretty good for organizers. i like the husky socket peg style organizers.

I have slowly but surely been building my tool assortment back up and even bought some tools I was not going to buy but did when I needed them at my home garage work I do. You will see a drawer, has the FoxWell scanner box in it, that has several tool/equipment/specialty boxes stacked in it. I had bought used tools from in the area and when I felt I needed to upgrade, I have been selling off what I replaced. Right now, I have a bunch of screwdrivers I am selling at CL. Anyway, here are the pics. I don't make my living with my tools any more, so some items are made in Taiwan...etc. The boxes are Husky and has a large lower cabinet and two matching upper cabinets.

Waitaminutehere, how’s your Snap-On dealer supposed to send his kids to Harvard if you keep buying those Husky boxes?
I am a Mac Tool box guy myself or a Matco and even an ICON box, which is owned by Snap On. But I would want to have just one lower cabinet and to accommodate the tools from the two top boxes, that bottom box would need to be 2 feet wider than what I currently have and then I lose storage space for the floor jack, floor ramps, jack stands....etc.
Plus, the one big bottom box and the two matching top boxes, side by side, actually work just fine. The tool cart saves steps and it all just WORKS. The top drawer of the bottom box, the one with all the chrome sockets and ratchets in it, is maxed out with the weight. When I open it to grab a socket and ratchet and extensions, I grab and shut it. I do not leave that drawer hanging open.

I waited till the boxes were on sale at Home Depot and then added my military discount on top of that and paid around $640 for all three boxes. They stay put and I do not move them. They do what I need them to do. When I retired from the shops, I sold my Snap On boxes and most of my tools but knew I would still work on at least my own stuff and have bought only what I felt I needed since then. Now, I work on other vehicles and have accumulated what I now have.
