Honestly, I can't seem to stop with it! I have more drawers now so I'm less stressed about space and more picky about tools and I am starting to find this relaxing! I even organized my random and junk ratchets with it today! Anybody else have photos of their Kaizen addiction?

NIce set of pliers, and it is great to have tools stored like this so you know where something is and whether something is missing.

Although it drives me nuts when I lose one or break one and then there's an empty hole. I have my wrenches on a wrench board and I have no idea what I did with the 9mm. It's been lost for months, and every time I look at that board it drives me nuts. I don't use 9 mm often, so I haven't bought a replacement, still holding out that it will show up.

The only criticism I have is every one of those looks like brand new. For me tools are objects that get used - they make other useful things. After they are nicked up and beat up they are much better in my opinion, because it shows they've been used to fix or create something.

They are all brand new, all of my tools are actually, I had lots of Snap On, Proto and other made in USA stuff that was well used but lots of miss matched and incomplete sets starting to drive me a little mad. Also, much of it was outdated and given how much I'm using tools currently in my life it made more sense for me to sell everything I had and downsize (I'm moving to a full time RVing life soon) or replace with either matched sets, updated versions or more modern tools. And to be fair, I didn't need all of those Knipex wrenches, I would have gotten away with 6 of them and been fine.

Looks great, wish I had either a bigger tool box to spread out my tools, or perhaps less tools these days in which I could do the same. Neither is really an option these days
