Do you think I have over loaded this draw ?
One small draw too many tools?

I think you need to give me some of those ratchets to balance out the universe.

Yep the bottoms are still visible in spots. You need to buy a lot more tools.

I almost always run out of space in smaller drawers before I ever even get close over loading them. However I can show some pictures of a drawer that actually ended up over loaded if you want.
My perfect top box would have 3 more small draws one more shallow full length draw and one more deep draw. A 15 draw box would be just about perfect but it would have to be built like this old box. ( brick s- house)
Sorry can't give up any of those tools most are unavailable from the OE manufacturers. I do have some spares in my old travel box that could be persuaded to leave. (old 8 draw CM machinist box)
Gray tool boxes need to be easier to get here in the states I see some nice combos they have.

DRAWER
It's called a drawer, not a draw

Not sure but you might have overloaded your drawer

My drawers tend to be overloaded.

yes you're overloading.
So you need a new tool box.
Then you will have more space.
So then you can buy more tools.
I love it when a plan comes together.

You guys are great! I get to the shop at 6am, log on and bust out laughing at this post.
B, thats alot of stuff in one draw or drawer. NIce photos.
48548, your drawers ate stuffed. Them plomb ratchets look sweet, dare I say seductive.
Seeing that old box with that many tools has me second guessing a decision I made Tues. I was at an auction and one of those boxes, bottom, middle, top sold for $90. It was rough and I am just not good at finishing long term projects, so I passed.
Thanks for the wake up laughs. Great way to start off the day.

All tools in the upper left are not socket but free wheel tools and potentially can fail on the first use because of a galled or over torqued freewheel. Most of all the ones I have are all OE from the manufacturers and sadly now no longer made or to be found easily. The OE tools are the best as they are made of superior quality and pride in their individual systems. There is a company that makes replacements but they are inferior in their fit and general tool quality. All those tools are the mos t common one I sold off all the very rare and odd ball one years ago when I left shops the fist time around. ( the guys that have that stuff and want it fixed can provide that expensive tool now as they are considered obsolete)
I only have two more small draws to clean out then. I will take some photos of the completed clean tidy box.
