I have air tools, hand tools, battery tools, electric tools and even really old tools. Metric and Imperials plus some stuff my Grandads made as well. Currently they are arranged haphazardly in a shed as when the garage came down i needed somewhere to put everything. I currently have a couple of older, cheap tool boxes which are in various states of broken downess and one of Halfords blue boxes https://www.halfords.com/workshop-tools/storage/tool-chests-cabinets/halfords-8-drawer-tool-centre I find this one quite annoying as the drawers don't come all the way out and stuff gets lost right at the back of the drawer. You know either the punch you need or the micro screw driver Trying to decide if a couple or 3 of roll cabs would be best, or a double wide full combination or a mixture.
So just wondering what you lot use and how you're organised.
Pics of complete and utter disorganisation also appreciated Fantasy ideas and pics also appreciated Ian

What do Divorces, Great Coffee, and Car Electrics all have in common?
They all start with GOOD Grounds.

My tools are a representation of my mind….. a scattered, unorganised mess.

TBigJohn are they any good though? Two of my 'cheaper' ones have had drawers come off the rollers and drop and this annoys me muchly!
Roach doesn't surprise me to be honest It's fine if you're always on your own. I have a mate who's doing a Merc V8 engine into a 69 Daimler and we work a lot together. He also leaves tools on the floor, the wings, the scuttle panel, behind his ear, in his pocket, under a seat, by the kettle etc etc. It means I spend more time looking for tools than actual turning spanners. So very annoying

They have an Aldi 3yr guarantee, so if I was worried I'd have broken them in the 2yrs I've had them. They are bearing up well at the moment, but I'm gentle with my kit.
