I have a small, two car garage, so I don=E2=80=99t need to roll my tool =
chest around. I have a 2x12 beam where I can hang most of my wrenches. I =
also modify the round loop holders for a peg board and mount them on my =
work bench to hold screwdrivers, ice pick (on of my most valued tools), =
etc. Most frequently used sockets are in socket holders in the toolbox. =
The rest are the usual sort though drawers. I have used magnetic strips =
to mount tools as well leaving more room in the crowded toolbox.
