  Interesting point of view, when I had my tool box made, I went with 
as many drawers as I could get not more than 1 1/2" tall (or is that 
deep?) because wrenches and sockets and screwdrivers are not very 
tall and I felt you end up wasting lots of space.  I had them make it 
with 3  1" tall drawers, 2 1 1/2" drawers and then one 4 1/4" tall 
and the last one is 7" for the other stuff.   I have never regreted 
it, all my sockets, wrenches, screwdriver, pliers, all that stuff 
fits in the 1" or 1 1/2" tall drawers and I have much more stuff in 
this tool box than I ever could in my Sears boxes.    The bigger 
stuff is the stuff I use rarely so I have no problem with it on the 
bottom 2 drawers.

  But then again I don't use wrench holders they are just neatly 
organized laying flat in the drawers.
