Organizing your toolbox can be difficult. Where do you start? What tools should go where? There are a lot of how to organize your toolbox online, but there is a good possibility that none of them apply to you. Well here is one of the mistakes that we made while organizing our combination wrenches and ratchet wrenches. This is probably a very common mistake that is made while organizing wrenches.
Because we came from multiple smaller toolboxes, we combined out combination wrenches with both standard and metric in the same drawer. We placed all the ratches wrenches int he drawer below thinking it would make life easier. We were 100% wrong.
This style of organization forced us to open both drawers multiple times no matter what we were working on. We corrected the situation by putting all the metric combination and ratchet wrenches in one drawer and all the standard in the other. This will allow us to only open one drawer, rather than two.
We also show the advantages and space savings that wrench organizers can provide.

Storage / organization is an ongoing process. Every time you buy or add something it k8nda snowballs the whole layout. Only you know which tools you use most and what's most convenient for you. Overall a great video.

I moved to a bigger box over 20 years ago. It is still an ever evolving challenge to optimize tool organization. For racks and holders I prefer not to spend much, the needs are ever changing.

I use Hall wrench racks, they can be bought in various configurations and sizes and they helped me condense three drawers of wrenches down to two. The Westling Machine socket organizers are incredible, I would repurchase them without a doubt.

I like the Ernst rail-type wrench organizers from amazon. They're not made to be used with liners and you need about a 2" drawer for a 24mm set but they nailed the angles and dimensions of the seats so I'm willing to modify them.

Just being a home hobbyist I keep my SAE in a toolbox in the corner. Those tools have never been used. Only metric in the drawers saves a ton of space, yet I realize a mechanic by trade can't do this. Good tips!

Nice vid man. I just got back from buying more wrenches (don't ever seem to have the one I need) and my drawers are/were like yours. I like the holders even though it has a big footprint. It's still more efficient.

Same here. I have all metric wrenches in one drawer and all SAE in a second drawer.

You really need wrench rails. Snapon kra15a are probably the best with OEM's version a close second. However,your drawer may be too shallow to stand the larger sizes on their edge. Good Luck. You should also rotate your socket holders 90 degrees so, your sockets run smaller to larger from front to rear, makes getting the right size socket faster.

You are right, WESTLING socket organizers are by far and away the best in the business! I have some and will order more in the future.

Eva foam block. Cut slots. Wrenches store vertical. Takes up less space than racks

I bought the ernst wrench holder for my main combination wrench set in each of my sae and metric drawers. I made some more compact holders out of 12ga solid wire for stubby's, ratchet wrenches and line wrenches. And then everything else just gets piled in the remaining space. I did my socket drawer using Ernst rails and their 3 compartment organizer for extensions and go to ratchets.

That is what I like about you. Social media has not gone to your head, you really like different ideas, you admit there are better ways, and always ready to learn. A lot of fun to watch and see others thoughts. Thank you. Say quick idea off subject, could you give us an update on your shop cabinets and storage? S

I’m getting ready to purchase, are they holding up, do you wish you had waited or saved just a bit and got something else, how does it stack up against your “buddies “? Have you been able to easily add on, or subtract, well and wiring, easy to work with, access of power outlets, well and lighting. Yeah, so how shop cabinets working. Some have the tool boxes that role out of cabinet space that is what I’m looking at. I’m do it yourself guy, not a 10th of what you have, well and use. Thank you. Scott

I know this is an old video but 3D print something. I made a modular magnet system similar to toolbox widget for a fraction of the price. Works great for wrenches, screw drivers, nut drivers and other hand tools.

I think the biggest mistake is to arrange tools by tool type, not by work type. This type of error is very common, I can understand tool suppliers, they need to sell complete set, but I can not understand custom boxes. You need 10 mm wrench close to 10 mm socket, you will probably need both, you try one and use another.. you will never use standard and metric at the same time. (same apply for sockets). You almost never need 27 and 10 mm sockets at the same time.

A lot of wrench holders save space at the cost of not being able to see the sizes at a glance. The better ones in my opinion sacrifice some space efficiency for an angle enough to see the size. You have a bolt you'll need to remove and are searching for what will fit it. You don't usually know or care the exact size so labels aren't as helpful. Toolbox widget offers both the tight and the angled options. They look good (thanks for the tip Dealswith Dillin).

What I don't like about the plastic socket organizers is that left to right as normal people read and count, they go from large to small. For over 40 years I had my metal organizer rail that went from 5/16 to 1 inch and 10mm to 19mm Small to large. Now I need to be counter-intuitive and go the opposite way.

I don't have that problem: 100% metric :-D Though my latest car has imperial fasteners on it despite being European, it's just that damn old. Oops. I have a 1/4 impact master set with 50% imperial which will have to do for a while :-)

That's the way I have my wrenches now. Metric in one and SAE in the other drawer laying flat but I mean like buying nice socket trays, wrench racks, and plier racks to keep them from moving around. Maybe one day lol

Hey Brian. Take a look at my channel for a video I made regarding a wrench organizer that I made to address the same issue. It's essentially made from plywood and dowels. It stacks the wrenches on the edge and saves a lot of space and is very customizable based on your needs. Very Easy to make

The biggest mistake you made is that (in mixed drawers) the standard always goes on the right. And for the drawers where you separate the two, standard is the top drawer. Just saying.😁
