Show Your Drawers 2022-2023

[Jeff]

It's always cool to see other's drawers and how their organized. I'm just a DIY'er and got a nice HF top box for Xmas as an upgrade. Always looking for ideas on improving my drawers. Let's see what ya'll got.

Just one drawer...here's my wrench drawer.

 

[Bmxkelowna]

Some random drawers from my two boxes

 

[Jeff]

Liking me some Vessel!

 

[SRU1436]

My ratchet drawer.

 

[Lowlevel2021]

Metric wrench drawer

 

[Jeff]

I like the idea of a 12v ratchet. I wish Bosch made one as I'm heavily vested in their 12v system.

First two drawers of my "home shop" toolbox...

Sometimes you just run out of room, even with a 30" deep box and end up throwing the chit in there where it fits.

You could fight zombies with that torque wrench

 

[Duster346]

Jeff, just a 600 ft/lb little critter... usually use it for pinion bearing crush sleeves.

Or you may be right... zombie apocalypse.

 

[Duster346]

Here's a couple more for you, Jeff. Not great organization I suppose... but like I said, sometimes it ends up where it makes sense or fits.

Guy at work is a plier freak, so he made me organize my plier drawer ... at both shops...

Organization is a personal thing. As long as you can find it then whatever works, works.

Here’s a few, labeling the drawers is a big help.

I'm a big fan of that USG blue too. My wife asked if she could label my drawers. How's a man to say no?

 

[jeffmoss26]

This is my favorite

 

[Duster346]

Jeffmoss, love your WF craftsman screwdrivers, and I'm also a huge snap on hard handle fan ... also, that Rapid Tap is bad *** stuff.

Here is home box number 1 and 2. Box three posted momentarily. Will have to post my work box Tuesday if we go back then.

 

[BlakeTheCarGuy]

Here is home box number 3 the main one. Sorry about the light in the last picture. This is no where near all of my tools I have tons at work and in my vehicles and around the basement because I’ve outgrown all my boxes besides my work boxes and cart. But I’m a professional I’m not a weekend guy I’m a weekend guy at home but professional at work and I do enough work at home I have duplicates of pretty much everything at work plus other tools like my vintage tools at home. Once I clean out the basement more I plan on buying another box or cart to put down there to have. Hopefully I’ll build a garage and pave my driveway soon too so I could wheel it out easier or have it right there haha.

 

[Alpine4x4]

Just a few of them. I just got some OEM rails to start organizing the wrenches better and have a snappy cart on the way to move the essentials to so I get some more room back in this box.

Agreed, got bit by the blue, first time having a matching box and cart.

Blake, what the hell is all of that dirt in your socket drawer (first picture)??

 

[BlakeTheCarGuy]

It’s all the dust and dander I’m guessing from the dog and stuff. I really need to clean it I’m just so lazy.

The USG blue accessories are a must have too!

 

[2ndGearRubber]

We are dead at the shop today, you're getting all the pictures.

 

[2ndGearRubber]

That's the first box.

 

[lugnut71]

[2ndGearRubber]

End of second box.





End of diagnostic. locker.

 

[2ndGearRubber]

That's the other locker, mostly empty.

@2ndGearRubber How long have you been wrenching? You have a great collection there- need to work on the polishing if you’re going to post pics in GJ!

Yeah, I know. It's always a wreck. It's really hard to keep things pretty when you work out of it every day. Some things like screwdrivers and the misc drawer there isnt a good way to organize with the space required. Crazy enough I can tell you where anything is in the box. Mostly I dont work out of it, my cart has enough to do most things.

As of this summer, I'll have been in the industry 10 years.

I’m just giving you a hard time, I like seeing real toolboxes and the tools that are used for work. A drawerful of 300 sockets that have turned a few dozen bolts isn't that exciting. Also enjoy your posts and insights of an auto tech.

Seeing all your specially tools really makes me glad I went with motorcycles, don't get me wrong, I have plenty invested but I generally work on one brand and the scan tool is supplied by the dealer.

 

[ecotec]

Metric in the bigger drawer and SAE in the smaller.

 

[Jeff]

Wowzers! Amazing drawers gentlemen. I feel, so, inadequate.

 

[setfocus]

Snapped a picture of the top drawer at work today, I kind of have a messy pile of ratchets and extensions but everything has its place or pile

And a recent picture of the other full length drawer that most of the wrenches live in

 

[afazz]

There are some nice drawers in here, keep them coming!

here are a few of my favorites:







I am in the process of converting my screwdriver drawer to red. A red carbide scraper is on order and I’m still hunting for an SPB24A or SPBS24 24” red Prybar. The newer style (SPBS24A) is too thick for the 2” tall extra wide drawer.



I made a toolbox tour video on YouTube a few weeks ago if anyone is interested in the rest.

 

[BlakeTheCarGuy]

Boy some of the drawers here are making my OCD go up the wall lol. I’ll try and post my work box and cart tomorrow we didn’t work today due to snow. And I went to Harbor Freight and got a bunch of stuff so new additions then pictures
