I'm not a pro like so many of you, so I don't rely on my tools to make a living. I would class myself as an advanced DIY'r who does a little of everything so I have a wide assortment of tools. I do use the majority of my tools, they aren't just for show.
Most of my tools I either got from my Father, picked up at garage & estate sales, or been given as presents so I have a wide variety of quality levels. I also have an addiction to vintage tools, some of which you'll see in my two boxes.
I have a Craftsman 26" stack I bought about 10 years ago and an old vintage Proto/Matco stack I bought last summer so I could transition a lot of the tools off the pegboard into proper boxes.
This forum has been a blessing to me on so many levels, one of which is it has shown me how to organize a toolbox. I'm still working on it so don't laugh too hard.
The Proto Box
Going from the bottom up
Mainly Drill & Driver bits
My Pliers Drawer
Screwdrivers...The old wood handle on the left was my grandfathers.
Torx, Allen and Nut Drivers
Punches, Nail sets, Multi Bit drivers, Vintage Yankee Drills.
Wrenches. The funny looking wrench in the top left is a ratchet for turning Hooks & Eyelets, at least that's what I use if for
A few more wrenches
More nut & bolt turning devices
Files
Vintage Layout tools
Chisels, Drawknife, Old Vintage socket set of unknown origin
Ring pliers, blades, compasses
The Craftsman Box
From the bottom up
This is gloves, drill holsters, etc...
This is a catchall drawer with Bench Grinder stones, some old braces, and other stuff.

Grinder Wheels, wire wheels, etc...
Drill Bits
I droll over all the drawers I see on here full of sockets. Mine are mostly craftsman, I have been slowly replacing any non USA with USA so there are some random other US brands in here.
Meters, and other stuff
Almost all good American Steel. A couple of nice old vintage Craftsman and Proto wrenches.
More Sockets - All US Craftsman or Stanley
Extensions, and Misc Socketry
Larger Sockets & Air Tools.
And before anyone accuses me of being too organized...this is the workbenches across from and next to the boxes...I really need to clean up.
