Snap on users with a hutch/workstation. How's your layout?

For years I've had drawers (lower) ******* with cordless tools and never really used my hutch other than a catchall junk collector it's one of those things I thought I needed while working in a shop to be able to lock up my junk. Since the box ended up at my home shop, I got tired of the clutter and useless space.

Here's what I did.

It's been a work in progress so don't nitpick the mess on the top.
Here's a few ideas that might benefit some others. The lighting is kind of iffy. Tried pics with the led in the hutch off and on.

I mounted the m18 charger and a power strip on the slots and dots board in the back right. The surge strip is turned off and on and a Home Depot 32" led is also plugged into that.

All the cordless and air tools are hung using peg board "drill" holders. Some were tweaked to fit each tool. I used some peg board straight hooks to hang the sawzall. I ordered a pack of the snap on slot hooks. The circular saw and one cordless tool are on those.

I used a few magnet hooks from harborfrieght to hang the large speed square and misc stuff in open spots. I hung my lug nut 2in1 sockets up using the screw down spring clips I got with the hutch when I bought it. Also used some of the smaller ones to have the commonly used hex bits ready. Also used some magnetic bit holders to stick on the sides to utilize some of the wasted side space.

It'll be nice to have a usable worktop again.

Guy that used to be beside me had the same roll cab and hutch I think, KRL7022? That sounds right. Anyway, he had a whole series of these, in 1/2, 3/8 and 1/4. He had shallows on the top studs and deeps on the posts sticking out. He had a few extra ratchet holder things like on the end of that and hung extensions from those. He had an extra also and hung wrenches from it I think. It was pretty slick, but oh so cluttered.

I have this Extreme box and hutch. It has a shelf, which is nice, but I can't really hang anything from the back wall. I have my scan tool sitting on the shelf now, but it's mostly just where I put paperwork and little stuff like batteries. There are pegboard holes on the side and I have my hammers hung there.

nice box, I like the shelf but not so sure on the lack of slots on dots as snappy calls it. mine is a 1022. 7022 is the same minus the shorter wide drawer. I added the end cab after the hutch and locker a few years later. so it looks like a triple bank but is really a double.

Looks like I'm not the only guy that has painted a vise to match his box.

I like the use of space, might try something's not similar.
