Here's the rules for those who want to be a part of something that all can enjoy. Take a picture of your favorite drawer in your tool box, then list your favorite tool, or your most used tool if they're all your favorite!

Here's mine:

And I would say my favorite & most used tool is my Milwaukee 2654-22CT but it may change to the cordless ratchet IR (R3130) as I use it more! And no, I don't have cankles, my foot was holding the drawer open!

That would be a hard one for me, toss up between the wrench drawer and the power tool drawer.

That's a hard one. Its either my socket and ratchet drawer:
IMG_20140401_132617_zpsb71d8fa3.jpg


Or my metric wrench drawer. Which I don't have a proper picture of.

In the socket drawer is every drive and 98% of every socket for the drive. Deep and shallow, 6 point and 12 point. Except for 1/2 deep 12 point.

My favorite tool by far though is.my Stanley bit rstcheting scree driver. So much, I bought another one and.keep it in the package in case this one ever breaks and Stanley discontinues it or changes the design.

Looking good. Looks like you have been adding steadily.

The drawers of my toolbox look like a tornado swept through them. Thankfully I have no pics to share, but apparently have a lot of work to do to catch up to you fellas.

That's how my grandfathers tool box is, as well as the shop box at work. I can't take it! Every drawer in my box is organized by size and function, for instance my plier drawer and screwdriver drawer.

Definitely my favorite drawer. From the wrenches to the racks all USA made and simple enough tools that even I can understand how to use them.. My second favorite drawer though has to be my 6pt wrenches...

Everytime I take on a larger job that requires lots of tools (like a headgasket) I get so upset with myself for not having sorted out those drawers. Maybe this weekend I'll give it a shot if for no other reason than to be able to take a picture of my measly socket collection and post it here lol. I don't have much, but I sure am proud of all my 1/2" impact sockets!

I'm OCD with my tools. When I'm done with some tools I always put them back. But then I usually need them again... And they're all organized. I've been switching drawers around since I've only had the box a short while, so I'm trying to figure out optimal areas. The slide top of my box is sockets and ratchets. The first drawer is types of pliers. Next is screwdrivers, pry bars and picks. Then I have a chemicals and shop supplies drawer. A diagnostic drawer which also has my torque wrenches and soldering stuff in. A drawer for my ratcheting wrenches and then the drawer I pictured above.

My favorite tool chest drawer is John's sockets in the top drawer of his Macsimizer.

I'm in the middle of moving. Maybe someday I'll take a shot of my own.

Thanks! To be honest though most of that has been like that quite a while. Just added a few ratchets, extentions, and swapped out a mismatched set of metric and sae 1/2 shallows to carlyle thanks to hiball. Recent addtions include a long 1/4 corn well rat, hf 3/8 composite, Carlyle long comfort grip 3/8 (90 tooth) , Carlyle long flex 3/8 (60 tooth), sl80a, And getting ready to add a Carlyle long 1/2 flex comfort grip. Just over 17.5"! Also 90 tooth. Carlyle is my kryptonite. Like I said I really need to take updated pics.

Your sockets drawers are just freaking wow. I wish I was able to have space for cases and separate drawers for rats and extensions. Very nice!

I don't know how you can smoke pyramids. Lol. I bought a pack the other day because I ran out before I made my border run (west Virginia is a lot cheaper for cigs) and I swear it was lie sipping honey through a straw. Lol.

Probably my prybar and punch/chisel drawer. Aka the "get my *** out of a jam" drawer. Holds a lot of my custom dollies, prybars, wedges, sleeves, pins and spacers. Random blocks, bars of copper and useful bits of small materials live here too. I have thinned it out a bit since this photo was taken, but it is essentially the same idea.

Plus obviously prybars, punches and chisels. At least the prybars that fit. Lol

Here are a few of my favorites. The first drawer contains mostly vintage Craftsman 1/4" and 3/8" drive tools along with a vintage Craftsman wrench set. The second photo depicts a drawer with vintage Craftsman 1/2" drive tools, and the third drawer is self explanatory.
