Similar tool storage

[Kscardsfan]

Does anyone store tools that get used together inside a small box so they stay ready to go? The most recent example I have in my head is trying to find a box to hold my terminal brush, terminal puller and related battery changing tools together so I can just grab them all out of the drawer in one move. Does anyone else do this or am I just going full on OCD about this one?

Not in a small box, just in the same drawer sometimes.

Most of my plumbing tools are in one hand carry tool box.

I don’t because I use the various tools way more in the shop than other locations and I want quick easy access to them. I keep drawers set up for various types of work in the shop and set up a tote bag for use in other locations as needed.

Yes, In some specialty termination kits I will have a duplicate set of X in that kit just to have everything available in one spot.

Yes. I have seperate "kits" for electrical work, upholstery work, etc. I grab the kit box and I have everything I need right there.

Are you working far away from your toolbox? I don't do this for automotive tools. I do keep things like you mentioned together in a drawer so I can grab all of what I need when I open the door. I don't have room to have a bunch of boxes in the drawers. If I need to take a bunch of tools to work on something away from the box I'll grab one of the bags that milwaukee tools come in and throw what I need in there, I have a ton of them that came with milwaukee tools and I don't keep my cordless stuff in those bags. They work good for junkyard runs.

I do keep my construction tools in ridgid boxes by jobs.

I try to keep like with like, plumbing takes up a lot storage, carpentry same thing and so on. I have found, at least for me it's easier to store tools and equipment by discipline, even if it means doubles or triples of some stuff.
