[Sancho]

Double square sockets, picks, bolt/stud extractors, spark plug sockets. And the junk and pens drawer

 

[W650Mike]

Picks, pencils, calipers, DMM, bits, mirrors, grabber, magnet, allen sets, mini screwdrivers...

More that I'm not recalling. I have 12 small drawers - all full.

One marked "Sharps" has box knives, razor scrapers and such

"Staplers" has my staple guns, hammer stapler, spare staples, ....

"Measure & Mark" has tape measures, T-Square, pencils, pens, ....

Of course the Kennedy Machinist box (those narrow, thin drawers) has a lot of small stuff in it. SAE Tap & Die set gets one, Metric tap & die gets another one, allen wrenches get their own, easy outs get one, misc taps and drill bits gets another, ....

Basically I group things and if I have a "small" group it gets a shallow & narrow drawer. I thought about putting my socket sets in the narrow/shallow drawers by drive but couldn't figure out where to put the stuff that was already in them.

I like the small drawer for things that are sharp, things that are squishy or breakable or small things in sets that do not have a case or are in a tiny case.

If tossed in the mid size drawers, they may get damaged by larger tools, and if tossed the the bottom dwr (aka the black-hole or the junk-drawer), they will be forever lost forcing you to rummage around like a squirrel looking for walnuts. Inefficient and unorganized.

Small related collections that all fit in one little drawer like:
1 - easy outs;
2 - allen keys;
3 - ignition tools ie: points files, feeler gages, color tune
4 - cylinder/brake hones
5 - circlip pliers
6 - torque wrench, impact drivers
7 - electrical test instruments
8 - sheet metal cutters (deep drawer)
9 - strobe light (deep drawer)

If it's the one on your Avitr, good luck. I hated my old Husky with those tiny top drawers. Depends on what you have and how you have it set up. I use one for fuses and electric little things. Another has feeler guages and stuff like that.

Why did you put her in there? How did you make her fit in there?

Since I sold my CM set up, I don't raelly have any small drawers in my longer roll cab. I put either smaller tools or tools I had a small amount pf in this smaller drawers.

Here's a few pictures of how I had it set up with the old CM's.

I gave up on small drawers. All my boxes have as large a drawer as I can get.
For years I would have a dozen or two tiny drawers, each with something very specific half filling the drawers.
Went to as big a drawer as I could get and have not missed the tiny drawers a bit.
