You posted this here before, and I then went out and partitioned a
couple drawers in one of my Vidmar tool cabinets like that (except that
I do separate them by drive size) and it's worked out far better than
anything I'd tried before, so I just wanted to thank you for the tip and
that it certainly works for me.
I've got one drawer for handles, extensions, spark-plug sockets,
adapters, and other 'universal' stuff, then one for metric sockets and
etc, and one for inch sockets and etc.
Now I just need to get my screwdrivers and pliers and etc. organized as
well.
Any tool-organization strategy is a compromise between (a) perfect
accessibility when you need it (b) cleanup-and-put-away time afterward
and (c) physical space (and memory-space to easily remember where you
put things.) I hate (b) so much that I'm willing to compromise (a) a
little bit to reduce it.
John.
