Interesting find for my toolbox

Are there more then one of each sticker? Most people Dont have all their sockets in one drawer lol. Be nice if it had drive size too. Are there standard sockets?

Maybe it's just me, but I'm just not a big fan of labels on toolbox drawers. I know exactly where every tool is and in which box it's in. And the best part about that is, nobody else should be messin' in my boxes anyway, so if they don't know where anything is just maybe I'll catch them looking for something. Now I have seen a lot of guys boxes labeled and if that works for them great, just not my thing......
Saving me from typing it out. Thanks

That's some funny stuff right there......I'm thinking since I have a stick welder and a band saw, you must have a mig and a chop saw ... lol

Not a doctor, but I believe youre suffering from a combined case of NETS (Not Enough Tools Syndrome) and NEFS (Not Enough Friends Syndrome). Jk.
Maybe its just me, but Ive got drawers I havent opened in years, tools I havent seen much less used in years, so heck if I can remember where theyre all at. I dont feel too bad about it tho, my Dad's got boxes he hasnt seen much less opened in years...
Labels? Yes please. I prefer BIGGER letters tho, something I can see across the room when Im scratching/looking/cussing.
Up until recently I was a no-way do I need labels kinda guy. Then I upgraded my tool box from a 26" craftsman stack (plus stuff scattered in many other places ) to a 44" HF Top and bottom. I am still sorting and re-arranging and consolidating as I go. I haven't gotten nearly as automatic with this setup yet. And with as often as I stumble across something else that should go in there, and then shufffle things to make it all fit... It may be many years before I get there.
Magnetic labels that I could move easily and without leaving glue etc. behind would be awesome! Then when things get automatic.. I can just take them off!

I don't care for labels either,but with the kids helping me out in the shop from time to time it makes it easier for them to find things,same goes for the wife if I send her out to get something from the shop if I'm fixing things in the house.I saw these and knew this is much nicer than a printed label or sticker.

^^^ THIS !!!
I know for a fact that my most rewarding time in the shop, is having my 13 y.o. son coming in, and even MIG welding, and tinkering when I'm in there.
I can't stand a day without working on something, and if I can get this to the next generation, its all about working, and being proud of your work;
And it comes with the proper use, of the proper tools...
The kid has got some basics, but the "where can I get the tool" to get the job done comes into play pretty quick, in order to have him thinking: "I can do this"
Funny how a thread about stickers, can become catalyst about true conviction a,nd trying to educate the unitiated

I know where everything is, and I would rather watch with enjoyment as my friends get frustrated.
