Here's a slightly different organizational approach, in top to bottom order.
Top Chest:
Top Bin - 1/4", 3/8," 1/2", 3/4" sockets, std & deep, metric & SAE, & assorted bit drivers
Drawer 1a (half drawer) - Punches, chisels, drifts, letter & number punches
Drawer 1b (half drawer) - Tweezers, small picks, insp. mirrors, pick up tools, small flashlights, scrapers, & assorted hose/line plugs
Drawer 2 - Bike specialty tools, tire guages, small bike parts, lubes, & fasteners
Drawer 3 - Nut drivers, Torx drivers, Hex drivers, & Clutch Head drivers
Drawer 4 - Regular screw drivers, small screw drivers, micro screw drivers
Drawer 5 - Files, files, & more files of all shapes, sizes, and cuts
Drawer 6 - Ball peens, mallets, brass hammers, & dead-blow hammers
Bottom Cabinet:
Drawer 1 - 1/4", 3/8", 1/2", 3/4" drive tools and accessories of all types, & torque wrenches
Drawer 2 - Fixed size wrenches of all types, metric and SAE (i'm running out of space here, need another drawer to separate metric and SAE wrenches)
Drawer 3 - Pliers, cutters, vice grips, & adjustable wrenches
Drawer 4 - Hack saws, metal snips, riveters, nibblers, & chassis punches
Drawer 5 - Body hammers, dollies, files, picks, sheet metal vice grips, sureforms & sanding blocks
Drawer 6 - Brake tools, battery tools, a/c tools, tune-up equipment, guages, meters, & test lamps
That's the basic hand-tool organization. All powered tools are kept separate on my equipment bench with drill press, arbor press, and two bench grinders mounted. Smaller power tools including drills, drill-drivers, grinders, sanders, soldering irons, etc, are stored on a peg board above the equipment bench.
Machinest tools are stored in a small machinest tool chest on my work bench. These include drill bits, screw extractors, taps, dies, reamers, micrometers, calipers, dial guages, depth guages, squares, angle guages, rules, feeler guages, allen wrenches, ignition wrenches, and assorted sharpening stones and rubs.
Shop equipment is organized under the two benches on shelves or on the floor. Larger shop equipment like compressor, welders, ramps, floor jacks, etc are kept in a small "L" off the main garage floor space.
Then there's the household debris like bikes, trikes, skateboards, roller skates, and hula hoops scattered randomly all over. I don't even try to organize this stuff.
That pretty much covers it, nuff said.
Sticky -- I almost forgot, you are crazy; screw drivers always go in the top box.
over the best way to organize them. Of course we both agreed sockets and impact wrenches in top drawer of the bottom cabinet, then I said in the drawers above them, I have one drawer for Metric wrenches and one for SAE. Screwdrivers and nutdrivers go in the bottom box. He said I was crazy that screwdrivers and nutdrivers should go in the top box. Of course it was all good natured, but it led me to wonder how most folks have their boxes laid out.
