At work I have a drawer full of electrical stuff. Multimeter and bunch of different
adapters for different applications. Is there a organizer box where i could put my meter and have other compartments to put leads and other adapters?Thanks in advance.

I bought a set of leads/probes/adapters from Pomona (owned by Fluke). Not cheap, but it came with roll pouch that I could fit some extras into. The only thing I can NOT fit in it is my 20' banana plug lead. It is attached to the roll with a large rubber band.

For some of my specialty tools with a lot of its own accessories, attachments etc. that are only useful for that one tool, I'll find an appropriately sized tackle box.
They're often made well, to stand up to being tossed around a bit, and you can find one with a large top compartment and a good mix of smaller and larger compartments.
I like the soft sided ones with hard plastic dividers in a drawer layout. I keep my Dremel in one and have drawers for cutting, sanding, grinding etc.
I wish I had a specific one to recommend to you but I don't. Any store with a good selection that you can actually get your eyes and hands on will likely have something suitable.

You might laugh, but I carry my work meter in a leather shaving bag.
It has zippered side pockets for accessories, and takes sliding, shoving, and abuse just fine.

I have one of my multimeters in a pocket in my toolbag, I have a couple extra leads in a plastic container in another pocket. My other multimeter is in my bench top tool box. In that tool box I have additional leads in a plastic fishing lure box...but my regular leads don't fit in that, so my extras are just stored in small ziplock bags in the same drawer.

I like the shaving bag idea, lots of options there...but a lure box might still be useful to keep it organized.

This is the kind of container I have for my tool bag: https://www.officesupply.com/office...Jeiu5kjHbN_-RrXxF-IAw3g0gxSjXROs70aArtS8P8HAQ

It's just big enough to fit a two sets of alligator clips, a banana plug to a small battery terminal clip that I made(great for clipping to a chassis ground), and a little lead to wire thing I fabricated so I can get into tight places(also fits into plastic connectors).
