Tool chest to the work, Some ratchets before being organised A socket drawer Maintenance

I do have this And will get this next, same idea as the Hazet assistant, less expensive

Just finished troubleshooting a Toyota Yaris 2006, family…. Broke out the scanner to look for fault codes since we had to lowbed recover and transport it to my place. It died while driving, just cut out. Family is now on a loner. Got some time last weekend to look into this, no codes, at all...

An industrious lot we are :unsure: :D

For now, my initial thoughts are as follows: Keep on my person some of the most used tools, prevent them from scratching or marring whatever I work on while these tools are on me. WIP, keep a tray or something to set tools down on at my work in progress. Keep my most frequently used tools...

Thought experiments are essentially free. Prefer to think about things a bit before executing them, planning to me is almost like therapy, prevents me from saddling up the wrong horse. I did that in the past aplenty, saddlink up a wrong horse 😝

Ask away, I will answer in short bite sizes, or will die trying :unsure: :sneaky:

Now that is smart, better than only “point of use” because now you can have a place to store tools and not bury them under WIP.

No offence taken. That was nowhere near enough for me. As stated in the beginning, I still managed to mess it all up. I need more than that, hence me following this route, and posting here about my journey.

Tools in foam can be made to fit very tightly or loosely, depending on how it was cut. Both ways are equally undesirable. Personally I prefer foam or would like a magnetic type rail, but most don't work for me. Most rails are worse than foam from a missing tool indicator perspective. Foam is...
